New Jersey Transit (NJ Transit) has launched an emergency stabilization bus service plan to address the impacts to customers of the seven discontinued A&C and O.N.E routes. The plan ensures customers of those routes continue to have uninterrupted access to the bus service. The plan includes creating six new NJ Transit bus routes and extending one existing NJ Transit bus route, serving the same bus stops as the A&C and O.N.E bus lines.
“As New Jersey’s statewide public transportation provider, we recognize the critical importance of transportation to empower New Jerseyans to fulfill their professional, personal and recreational needs via affordable, accessible and reliable transportation,” said New Jersey Department of Transportation Commissioner and NJ Transit Board Chair Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti. “I am pleased NJ Transit was able to use its resources to continue these critical bus routes.”
“NJ TRANSIT understands how important this bus service is to all those who depend on it, particularly for those who rely on it as their sole source of mobility,” said NJ Transit President and CEO Kevin S. Corbett. “We are extremely pleased to be able to deliver a plan that maintains service for all the customers impacted by the disappointing decision made by A&C and Coach USA to discontinue operating these seven bus routes.”
The O.N.E. Bus Stabilization Plan begins Oct. 9 while the A&C Bus Stabilization Plan begins Oct. 28. The full list of service changes can be viewed on NJ Transit’s website.
