Northeast New Jersey Metro Mobility Study
This website http://www.nenjmms.com/proj_materials.html
has lots of data from surveys conducted by NJ Transit of riders and bus drivers around Bergen County done in 2009. It shows the ridership levels for many NJ Transit routes, as well as for Shortline and Rockland Coaches. The bus driver feedback in this report includes ideas for new routes, proposes later bus service and provides suggestions to improve existing routes. There is talk of creating an express 171 route to Paterson, called the 170x, to help curb the declining ridership on that line which has decreased 75% due to competition from the jitneys on Route 4.

Seems like an interesting idea, but we'll see if it ever happens and whether it will be a successful service.
