The jitney's (for Johnny's midwest posse, jitney's are small 10-20 rider busses that permeate the streets here) in Jersey City for the most part have come up snake eyes on their safety inspections. So bad were the JC jitney's that 23 out of 33 failed their surprise inspections last week (and this isn't counting the driver who saw the inspection ahead and pulled his jitney over, parked it and walked away). The 33 busses logged 285 citations for a range of safety infractions including bad brakes, faulty steering components, non-working emergency exits and lights, and bald tires. One bus had it's emergecy exit welded shut. Nice.
if you're a resident who uses these busses, this is news you can use.
Late breaking news this AM, North Bergen is also showing a high amount of jitney safety scofflaws.
