George Washington Bridge Bus Station Reopens On Tuesday May 16 -- Updated
Good news for riders who use the George Washington Bridge Bus Station. The long delayed renovation project at the Station is almost completed and reopened for bus passengers on Tuesday May 16. The construction lasted two years longer than anticipated due to problems with the contractors and developers. NJ Transit has also announced that cash fares will no longer be accepted for its routes that service the terminal in order to speed boarding and departures. Riders will have to purchase tickets from either the windows, the ticket machines or use the NJT Mobile App. There was plenty of TV coverage today about the re-opening including from WNBC-TV, and NY1. We will have additional reports in the near future.
The new gate assignments for GWBBS routes are:

Possible NJ Transit Train Strike -- Bus Commuting Options
Negotiations continue to avert an NJ Transit Rail Strike on March 13. NJT has set up a rail strike contingency plan involving limited rush-hour bus service from several park and rides throughout the state. It also is offering expanded rush-hour bus service along several bus lines that run near several of its rail lines. The contingency plan is only expected to accommodate about 40% of its displaced rail riders. In addition, other NJT bus service will be curtailed including the River Road service on the 156R, 158 and 159R routes which would only run to the Port Imperial Ferry Terminal instead of to New York. Riders of those lines would have to take a ferry into New York. Route 126 would also only run in a reverse direction to the Hoboken PATH station in the morning, and from the PATH station in the evening, completely bypassing New York.
Other options for Northern NJ passengers include using the GW Bridge Bus Station services, including NJT Routes 171, 175, 178, 181, 182, 186 and 188. Rockland Coaches Route 9A, and the Ameribus 11C and 20/84 lines. This could avoid what will be even longer delays at the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
We suppose there will be some sort of last minute deal made to avert a long-term strike. Unfortunately, it will be the NJ Transit bus and train commuters who have to pay even higher fares in the near future.
Complete NJT Strike Contingency Plans can be found here.
