DeCamp Service Discontinuation Information

NJ TRANSIT TO IMPLEMENT EMERGENCY BUS SERVICE TO PROVIDE ALTERNATIVES FOR DECAMP CUSTOMERS, BEGINNING MONDAY, APRIL 10th.

NJ TRANSIT will operate emergency bus service to provide as many alternate transit options for weekday DeCamp bus customers as possible. The plan includes extending four existing NJ TRANSIT bus routes that will accommodate approximately 85% of current weekday DeCamp customers. The remaining customers will largely be accommodated by leveraging existing bus, rail and light rail service, as well as local municipal bus shuttles in West Orange and Bloomfield. 

It is important to note that this emergency service plan will only include weekday peak periods for the four modified bus routes and will not duplicate the current DeCamp routes in their entirety, though the variants will mirror many portions of the current routes. During weekends and off-peak weekdays, customers are advised to utilize existing NJ TRANSIT services.  NJ TRANSIT will continually monitor ridership demand, and will be able to make adjustments in June if warranted and as resources allow.

In addition, NJ TRANSIT will have customer service ambassadors at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York beginning Tuesday, April 4th to inform DeCamp customers of these new options and assist them with planning their travels and locating the new departure gates. The four modified NJ TRANSIT routes will temporarily depart NYC from Gate 208 at the Port Authority Bus Terminal. 

Customers are encouraged to download the NJ TRANSIT Mobile App or use the “Plan Your Trip” feature found on njtransit.com for all available alternatives. Please note that this emergency bus service will not appear in NJ TRANSIT's MyBus feature until late May.
