NJ Transit Bus Operations is the bus division of NJ Transit, providing local and commuter bus service throughout New Jersey and adjacent areas of New York State (Manhattan in New York City, Rockland County, and Orange County) and Pennsylvania (Philadelphia and the Lehigh Valley). It operates its own lines as well as contracts others to private carriers. In 2024, the bus system had a ridership of 143,957,400.

History

[edit]

Prior to 1948, most public transportation in New Jersey was provided by the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey, a utility company that also operated the Public Service Railway division. In 1948, the Public Service Corporation was divided into two entities: the Public Service Electric and Gas Company, which inherited the utility operations, and the Public Service Coordinated Transportation Company (PSCT), which inherited the transit operations. PSCT provided service throughout New Jersey, originally using trolleys and then transitioning to trolley buses, and buses. During the 1970s, the New Jersey Department of Transportation began funding the routes of Public Service, now renamed Transport of New Jersey (TNJ), contracting with TNJ and other companies to operate local bus service throughout New Jersey.[3]

NJ Transit came into being as the result of the New Jersey Public Transportation Act of 1979 to "acquire, operate, and contract for transportation services in the public interest". NJ Transit Bus Operations came into being the following year, when it acquired Transport of New Jersey from PSE&G.[4] Other purchases and buyouts in the 1980s expanded the bus division of NJ Transit, including the assumption of service for Somerset Bus Company in 1982 and the acquisition of the Atlantic City Transportation Company in 1987.[5] In 1992 NJ Transit Mercer, Inc., which was the successor to the former "Mercer Metro" operation that NJ Transit took over in 1984 for the Trenton and Princeton areas, was folded into NJ Transit Bus Operations.[6] In 2010, PABCO Transit (Passaic-Athenia Bus) taken over under the subsidiary NJ Transit Morris, Inc.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic in New Jersey numerous private carriers went out of business and NJ Transit took over many of their routes, including those of Olympia Trails subsidiaries (ONE Bus, Red & Tan in Hudson County), A&C Bus Corporation, DeCamp Bus Lines, and Transdev.[7][8]

Routes

[edit]

Routes are numbered by where they operate in the state of New Jersey, however, there are a few exceptions to the general rule due to subsequent changes to some routes operating in Central and North Jersey. Fare and route can also be further elucidated on some of the individual route schedules[9] or the trip planner.[10]

In most cases, routes retain the same numbers they had under the Public Service/Transport of New Jersey umbrella.

Fleet

[edit]
Main article: NJ Transit bus fleet

As of 2024 NJ Transit had over 2800 buses, including 147 compressed natural gas (CNG) buses and 12 hybrid electric buses, as well as community shuttles.[11]

Overview

Service Description

NJ Transit Bus Operations serves as a primary division of the New Jersey Public Transportation Corporation (), established in 1979 through the Public Transportation Act to provide essential public transit services across , New York, and . It operates local, regional, and commuter bus services, facilitating daily travel for commuters, residents, and visitors by linking communities within and beyond state borders. This division plays a crucial role in reducing and supporting economic connectivity in the densely populated . The bus operations integrate seamlessly with NJ Transit's other transportation modes, including and , to offer multimodal connectivity that allows passengers to transfer efficiently between services for comprehensive journey planning. Headquartered at 1 Penn Plaza East in , it functions as a cornerstone of the broader system, which encompasses rail, , and options to deliver a unified public transportation network. Currently, NJ Transit Bus Operations maintains 263 routes that span urban centers, suburban neighborhoods, and rural areas, providing vital links to major hubs such as and . Bus services contribute the majority of the system's over 925,000 weekday trips, serving over 500,000 passengers on average weekdays and emphasizing accessibility and reliability across diverse geographic and demographic needs.

Ridership and Statistics

NJ Transit Bus Operations recorded 138.7 million passenger trips in 2024, reflecting a 12.1% increase from 123.7 million in 2023 and approximately 89% recovery from pre-pandemic levels of around 155 million in 2019, with local intrastate services demonstrating stronger rebound compared to commuter routes serving New York and . This total breaks down to 70.2 million trips in the Northern Division, 55.4 million in the Central Division, and 13.1 million in the Southern Division, highlighting the prominence of local services in overall usage. On-time performance averaged 92% across key terminals in FY2024. The network encompasses 263 routes, contributing to more than 925,000 trips daily across all modes, with buses accounting for the majority and serving over 500,000 passengers on average weekdays to support workforce mobility in densely populated urban areas. These operations contribute economically by reducing —equivalent to removing 140,000 private vehicles from roadways annually—and fostering access to employment opportunities amid evolving hybrid work patterns that have moderated full recovery to 2019 levels. Beyond mobility, bus services yield environmental benefits by avoiding 1.5 billion vehicle miles traveled each year, thereby lowering and while enhancing urban sustainability without direct calculations of per-passenger impacts. Overall, these efforts generate net statewide economic benefits of $9.8 billion to $10.9 billion annually through congestion relief, safety improvements, and productivity gains.

History

Origins and Pre-NJ Transit Era

The origins of bus operations in trace back to the early , when the Corporation (PSC), formed in 1903, began consolidating fragmented transportation services including street railways, trolleys, and emerging motor bus lines to improve efficiency and financing across the state. By 1917, PSC established a dedicated bus-operating , initially known as Public Service Transportation, which integrated bus services with its existing rail and trolley networks, providing coordinated urban and suburban transit primarily in the northern and central regions. This , renamed Coordinated Transport (PSCT) in 1928, expanded bus routes starting in 1923, marking the shift toward motorized vehicles as a complement to electric rail systems. A significant transition occurred in the 1930s through the 1950s, as PSCT systematically converted streetcar lines to bus operations amid declining ridership and rising maintenance costs for electric . For instance, streetcars were phased out in Camden by 1935, Union and counties by 1933, by 1938, Hudson by 1949, by 1952, and Passaic by 1929, with trolleybuses briefly operating in (1935–1948) and Hudson (1936–1947) before full bus replacement. These conversions reflected broader national trends influenced by automotive growth but were overseen by the New Jersey Board of Commissioners, established in 1911 as the state's primary regulatory body for utilities, including transportation companies, to ensure fare stability, , and . By the mid-20th century, private bus operators like PSCT faced mounting challenges from escalating operational costs, including labor, fuel, and vehicle maintenance, compounded by suburbanization and the widespread adoption of personal automobiles, which eroded urban ridership and profitability. This decline prompted increasing state intervention, culminating in the 1960s with the creation of the Commuter Operating Agency (COA) under the New Jersey Department of Transportation to administer subsidies for unprofitable routes. Companies such as Transport of New Jersey (formerly PSCT, renamed in 1971), the largest private operator owned by Public Service Electric & Gas, relied heavily on these funds; the subsidy program, launched in 1969 at $530,000 annually, grew rapidly to support over 25 carriers amid financial strains like aging fleets and route inefficiencies.

Formation and Acquisitions (1970s-1990s)

The New Jersey Public Transportation Act of 1979, signed into law on July 17, 1979, created the Transit Corporation () as a public agency to acquire, operate, and contract for , bus, and other transportation services across the state. Bus operations formally launched in January 1980 with the acquisition of Transport of from , the state's largest private bus operator at the time, which provided local and express services primarily to and included facilities like the Newark City Subway bus operations. This initial purchase formed the core of NJ Transit's bus network, serving as a foundation for statewide expansion amid the decline of private operators. Throughout the 1980s, pursued aggressive acquisitions to consolidate fragmented private bus services and prevent service disruptions. In 1982, the agency assumed operations of the Bus Company, incorporating its 20 routes from Union, , , and counties to and preserving service for approximately 10,000 daily passengers despite the company's financial losses of over $2.5 million in the prior fiscal year. In 1987, acquired the Atlantic City Transportation Company, which expanded southern services along the Jersey Shore and inland routes in Atlantic and surrounding counties. Additionally, the establishment of Mercer, Inc. in 1984 facilitated the integration of bus operations in the Trenton and Mercer region. These moves, part of a broader effort between 1981 and 1985 to incorporate multiple private carriers, enabled to standardize fares, schedules, and branding while more than doubling the system's route mileage from around 1,000 miles in 1980 to over 2,000 miles by the decade's end. In the , continued building its bus network through contracted services with operators like Rockland Coaches, adding interstate commuter routes from northern and , to . The agency also introduced enhanced express bus services to , improving speed and reliability for long-distance commuters through dedicated lanes and priority scheduling where feasible. Federal support played a key role, as the (ISTEA) of 1991 allocated substantial funding—over $4 billion nationally for transit enhancements—to states like , enabling investments in bus fleet modernization and route extensions. By 1992, unified its bus subsidiaries, including Transport of New Jersey and NJ Transit Mercer, Inc., into Bus Operations, Inc., streamlining administration and fostering further growth in the state's public transit infrastructure.

Expansion and Challenges (2000s-2020s)

In the early 2000s, NJ Transit Bus Operations expanded its network to support new multimodal connections and regional tourism. The opening of the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail in April 2000 necessitated enhanced bus feeder services to integrate with the new system, allowing seamless transfers for commuters in Hudson County and improving access to Jersey City and Bayonne stations. Additionally, NJ Transit introduced branded express bus services to Atlantic City casinos during this decade, such as expansions along the Atlantic City Line corridors, to capitalize on tourism growth and provide direct links from Philadelphia and South Jersey park-and-ride lots to key destinations like the Boardwalk area. The 2010s brought significant operational challenges due to recurring budget shortfalls exacerbated by state subsidy reductions and rising costs. In 2010, NJ Transit implemented a 25% systemwide increase and service reductions on approximately 50 bus routes to address a $300 million deficit, resulting in longer wait times of 5 to 20 minutes on affected lines. These pressures continued, leading to a proposed 9% hike in 2015 alongside cuts to several bus routes, including eliminations and frequency reductions, as the agency grappled with a $60 million operating gap. Hurricane Sandy in October 2012 severely disrupted bus operations across , flooding depots, damaging vehicles, and causing widespread power outages that halted traffic signals and routes in coastal and urban areas. Recovery efforts involved restoring service incrementally, with full bus network resumption taking weeks amid downed lines and infrastructure repairs, highlighting vulnerabilities in flood-prone facilities. The in 2020 posed the most acute crisis, with bus ridership plummeting over 90% from pre-pandemic levels due to lockdowns and shifts, forcing temporary suspensions and deep cleaning protocols. Federal aid through the provided $1.4 billion to , enabling the rehiring of laid-off operators and gradual service resumption while covering lost revenue. In response to private carriers' failures amid pandemic recovery, assumed operations of key routes from struggling operators in the early 2020s. After DeCamp ceased commuter services in April 2023, extended four existing bus routes and created new ones to cover 85% of former DeCamp riders, incorporating lines 33, 44, and 66 into its network for seamless transitions. In August 2023, assumed over 20 routes from , followed by four routes from A&C Bus Corp in October 2023, adding 614 new weekday trips between July 2023 and June 2024. Additional takeovers included routes from ONE Bus in 2024 and the Broadway Bus route in effective December 1, 2025—the sixth such intervention since 2023. In 2011, established , Inc. to operate local bus services in Morris County, further consolidating regional operations. These takeovers stabilized regional connectivity amid resource strains as bus ridership recovered to over 95% of 2019 levels by 2024, with continued gains through 2025.

Organizational Structure

Headquarters and Administration

NJ Transit's headquarters are located at 2 , 283-299 Market Street in 07102, serving as the central hub for executive offices, strategic planning, and coordination of maintenance activities across all modes of transportation. This facility supports the agency's overarching administrative needs, including oversight of bus operations, which form the largest component of NJ Transit's service portfolio. The move to this location in early 2025 consolidated operations previously spread across multiple sites, enhancing efficiency in decision-making and resource allocation. The governance of NJ Transit Bus Operations falls under the NJ Transit Board of Directors, which provides strategic oversight for the entire corporation, including bus services. Bus operations are specifically led by Senior Vice President of Surface Transit and General Manager Michael P. Kilcoyne, who reports to President and CEO Kris Kolluri and manages the day-to-day execution of bus-related initiatives. The agency's operating budget for fiscal year 2024 totaled $2.86 billion, with bus operations receiving a substantial portion to cover labor, fuel, and maintenance expenses. Administrative functions for bus operations are centralized at and encompass route planning to optimize coverage and efficiency, development of policies to ensure equitable access, and adherence to federal regulations from the (FTA) as well as state mandates from the . These efforts include annual reviews of service patterns to address ridership demands and environmental goals, such as transitioning to low-emission vehicles. Compliance with FTA guidelines ensures that funding and safety standards are met, supporting the integration of bus services with rail and networks. Key policies governing bus operations emphasize accessibility and safety, with full compliance to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) established since its enactment in 1990, mandating features like wheelchair lifts and priority seating on all buses. Safety protocols include a comprehensive drug and alcohol testing program for safety-sensitive positions, aligned with regulations, which incorporates pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, and post-accident testing to maintain a drug-free workplace. These measures, including mandatory training and reporting, have contributed to a decline in reportable incidents over recent years.

Divisions and Facilities

NJ Transit Bus Operations is structured into three primary geographic divisions—Northern, Central, and Southern—to optimize the management of garages, maintenance activities, and dispatching functions, ensuring efficient service delivery across and into adjacent regions. These divisions are managed through subsidiaries, including NJ Transit Bus Operations, Inc., NJ Transit Mercer, Inc. (established 1984 to oversee Trenton/Mercer County services), and NJ Transit Morris, Inc. (established 2011 for specific regional operations), which handle maintenance and operations at 18 bus garages statewide. This divisional approach allows for localized oversight while aligning with the agency's statewide network of 263 bus routes serving 384 municipalities. The facilities supporting these divisions primarily consist of 18 bus garages dedicated to vehicle storage, routine repairs, and overhaul work, supplemented by dedicated training centers and administrative hubs. These garages also incorporate maintenance facilities where integrated operations occur, facilitating the agency's broader surface transit responsibilities. Key examples of garage locations include sites in Newark for the Northern Division, Maplewood for the Central Division, and Camden for the Southern Division, though detailed assignments vary by region. Operational coordination is maintained through a combination of centralized oversight from NJ Transit's headquarters in Newark and divisional-level management, where local operation centers handle dispatching, scheduling, and emergency response to support more than 925,000 weekday passenger trips. Facilities are equipped for fueling both (CNG) and diesel vehicles, with dedicated stations such as the one in Howell serving CNG-equipped buses. Vehicle inspections adhere to (FMCSA) standards, requiring annual checks by qualified personnel to ensure compliance and safety. Additionally, employee training programs cover operational skills for drivers and technical expertise for maintenance staff, conducted at specialized centers to uphold service reliability.

Divisions and Facilities

Northern Division

The Northern Division of NJ Transit Bus Operations oversees bus services in northern New Jersey, with a primary focus on Hudson County and Bergen County. This division handles high-volume commuter routes that connect local communities to key destinations, including the in , facilitating daily travel for thousands of passengers across urban and suburban areas. Operations emphasize efficient peak-hour service, leveraging the division's strategic location near major crossings like the to support quick turnarounds for express buses heading to Washington Heights and other northern points. The division maintains operations through six bus garages.
