Actually that area around AC would be perfect for BRT. As it stands loads there would be light. The Mays Landing route would be busier, as it hits more destinations (a mall, a college).
I have a hunch my ideas and the NJT 2020 thingy you're citing look alike because they are both developed off of maximizing use of existing resources. As it stands all the lines I'm using are either active freight lines or (mostly) available ROW*.
--I was thinking of terminating Amboy at Bordentown but Burlington is a somewhat bigger employment center and therefore a better terminus. Getting it to Bordentown, however, is still adequate.

*There's a minor exception going down to Tuckerton where the easement was erased and a new would would hence need to be carved out through some back yards.
