The Express Train They Don't Tell You About

- This is definitely something different! It's about time I start mentioning this train as there really is no particular way to find it unless you do some real digging in the timetables. It's called the Bayonne Flyer, or just the Flyer, and it's the only express service offered on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail network. It follows the Blue Line from Hoboken to 8th Street in Bayonne while running with the Yellow Line to West Side Ave for a good portion of the journey. There are a surprising amount of quirks to this service, being that it's just across the river from Manhattan's World Trade Center! This was a fun idea that I randomly decided to do out of boredom, so hope you guys enjoy this one!

I found this an informative video! I've heard of the _Bayonne_ _Flyer,_ but now I know how it works.
Also, I like how you refer to all of the other Hudson-Bergen Light Rail lines by their color, which sounds a lot better than what they are officially called: "8th Street-Hoboken" (Blue), "Hoboken-Tonnelle" (Green), and "West Side-Tonnelle" (Yellow).
Thanks for the video!
forgot to mention one thing yes even though the Bayonne stops at Liberty State Park going Southbound to Bayonne it does NOT stop at liberty state park going northbound to Hoboken. Northbound Bayonne Flyers go express from 45th and go straight to Essex then its regular skip-stop section.
Norfolk’s Tide alignment was based on an old narrow track railroad that ran from the Norfolk Terminal (now harbor park) to Virginia Beach’s oceanfront. It was a starter line that was planned to eventually run the same route but Virginia Beach voted to not extend. They also wanted to bring back a type of streetcar that’s why it also runs in mixed traffic. Norfolk used to have a large excellent streetcar network that was torn up in the 1950s, so it’s kinda light-rail and streetcar mixed into one. It is a good train and I hope it expands one day but like you pointed out, some of the stations and design were questionable. Great video, thank you.
Mixed traffic is guaranteed failure
This is first clip about the Flyer that made complete sense to me, thanks for putting it out there - they've been trying to tell me about it, only you have succeeded \m/
Do a video about the Cape May Seashore Lines
All those 10mph turns don’t help lol
It should have been a PATH line
