Saddle River Tours New Operator Of Bergen County Local Bus Routes
The Record has reported that Saddle River Tours has further expanded its footprint in New Jersey and commuter bus service by winning NJ Transit's contract to run the Bergen County Local Bus Routes. We previously reported that it lost a bid last year due to a technicality that allowed Coach USA's Community Coaches to continue to run the service until it could be rebid. Saddle River recently outbid Community Coach by almost $500,000 to win the contract to run the routes for 7 years. These are the 751, 752, 753, 755, 756, 762, 772 and 780 lines. We are glad to see them get this contract and wish them luck since they unfairly lost the bid in 2017. Saddle River has also recently picked up other bus routes cancelled by other companies including Coach USA/Rockland's 11C and 20/84 routes as well as the Route 55 line, previously operated by Carefree Lines until they went under.
