The Commission held a public hearing in July 1992 into allegations of serious irregularities in NJT’s $5 million Bus Subsidy Program. The Commission revealed that two bus companies had, largely through the inattention of NJT overseers, been able to obtain several million dollars in subsidies for the personal and private commercial expenses of the companies’ owners.
