Congrulations HiBLeR and RiverLINE

2 of New Jersey's light rail lines are showing ridership increases this week (not to imply that the Newark Subway isn't doing well, there's just no news on that line). NJ Transit is reporting that the HiBLeR (or Hudson Bergen Light Rail, see my previous post on the subject) now serves over 21,000 weekday trips. Enough people, in fact to require doubling the capacity on all of the Bayonne Flyer express trains.

Also of note is the NJARP report that the south Jersey RiverLINE is now serving up 6,000 daily weekday trips and as many as 11,000 rides on weekend-days.
