<p>Madison will soon have a jitney to ferry passengers to and from downtown and the nearby college campuses.</p>
<p>Mayor Mary-Anna Holden on Monday night told the meeting that NJ Transit has approved Madison for a $223,000 transportation grant at the end of August. The jitney will be operated in a multi-year deal in cooperation with Drew University, the College of St. Elizabeth in Convent Station and Fairleigh Dickinson University. </p>
<p>I never understood why these campuses did not have something like this available before. It will make it easier for those without cars to go between campuses and to shop downtown.</p>
