No, this is what he said:

"NJT not using seat belts is a loophole... while the belts are required of over-the-road coaches in line haul, charter, and tour service, transit buses are exempt and NJT can identify all their buses as being in "transit service", even though they have lav-equipped units that are competing with Greyhound on NY-AC. It's almost payback to the Feds on NJT's part for changing the transit charter rules in 1987, since NJT had maintained the charter and tour department of its private predecessor TNJ (formerly Public Service) to that point."


Since he posted it on GTE, a public group, and was not sent via private e-mail, I have no restrictions on quoting him.


Basically, he's (somewhat arrogantly) saying that NJT ain't gonna use seat belts or containment, not now, not ever. And yes, he claims to work for NJT and has insider info. He is still wrong with his first sentence because belts aren't required in the private sector until November 2016. If you ask me, I'm a bit angry at NJT and their tactics.
