Also serving Jersey City are various lines operated by [[Academy Bus]]. Increased use of jitneys, locally known as [[Dollar vans in the New York metropolitan area|dollar vans]], has greatly affected travel patterns in [[Hudson County, New Jersey|Hudson County]], leading to decreased bus ridership on traditional bus lines. After studies examining existing systems and changes in public transportation usage patterns it was determined that a [[Journal Square-Bayonne BRT|Journal Square-Bayonne bus rapid transit system]] should be investigated. In 2012, the Board of Chosen Freeholders authorized the identification of possible BRT corridors.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20150518103556/http://www.njtpa.org/Planning/Regional-Studies/Recently-Completed-Studies/Hudson-County-Jitney-Study/HudsonCountyJitneyStudy.aspx Hudson County Jitney Study], [[North Jersey Transportation Planning Authority]], backed up by the [[Internet Archive]] as of May 18, 2015.
