The announcement coincides with the one-year anniversary of the launch of the system, which the mayor said has exceeded the goals of connecting transit deserts and providing a low-cost alternative option for residents.
Since February 2020 Via has provided more than 216,000 rides, most of which originated from the western and southern areas of the city, with top destinations being key transportation hubs and shopping/business districts, statistics show. Despite the pandemic, the service has proven more resilient than traditional public transit in Jersey City, especially for the underserved communities who need it most, Fulop said.
