With social distancing the new normal and many people working remotely, ridership on New Jersey's bus routes has dropped dramatically. There are reports that NJ Transit ridership has decreased by 40% and the agency may implement a reduced schedule once ridership drops 50%.
Some private carriers have already temporarily curtailed service. Riders should check with their carriers for information. We have some updates here:
Academy has implemented reduced "Schedule B" service on several of its routes. These schedules can be found here.
Community Coach has greatly reduced service on its 77 line with just 3 nyc-bound trips and 4 trips now operating out of New York. Schedule found here.
Rockland Coaches is now operating on a Saturday Schedule, with some additional express service available. Details here.
Suburban Transit is also operating with an adjusted weekday schedule, more info available here.
Short Line has also cut back service, more info available here.
Decamp is also cutting service. Details available on its Twitter feed and website.
Lakeland says they will be making service adjustments and has cut a few runs. More info here.
If you are now working remotely, and have an unused monthly ticket, you may be able to get a refund from your carrier.
Stay safe everyone!
