A consultant's report recommended replacing the 2.7-mile rail line between Princeton and the Northeast Corridor line.
that is paved for bus operations and has embedded rails for light rail trains that would run between the Northeast Corridor line and Princeton. The bus rapid transit component could run on local streets beyond Princeton and Princeton Junction stations on future extensions to serve surrounding areas.” a group of citizens and officials that support a transformation of the line to meet current demands.
Purchase of a fleet of light rail and bus rapid transit vehicles could cost an additional $45 million. An option to build a pedestrian path paralleling the Transitway line could add another $45 million to the total. It also will require construction of a maintenance facility, the report said. Benefits of a dual light rail-bus rapid transit line include more frequent service - with service every 6 to 10 minutes, the report said. The Dinky now runs every 30 minutes. About 48% of people who responded to a survey for the report preferred the first option. The study didn’t say how many people took the survey.
Those costs were preliminary, high-level estimates that would be further refined in future study efforts, Smith said. A fifth option to replace the 45-year-old Arrow rail cars with new single level cars was not considered in the study, said Joe Versaggi, New Jersey Association of Railroad Passengers president.
The study examined different options for the right of way, but didn’t identify specific vehicles to be used, Smith said.
