NEWARK, NJ ¿ NJ TRANSIT will adjust bus routes on June 24 for the summer months, restoring seasonal service to a number of routes and offering Friday early getaway service on many lines leaving the Port Authority Bus Terminal. School trips will be discontinued for the summer, and regular summer reductions will occur on routes that experience lower ridership this time of year.

In addition, more peak hour service will be added on selected routes to address increased demand due to high gas prices, with service on other routes modified to accommodate the changes. Expanded midday and late evening service will also be offered on a number of lines.

These adjustments are part of a scheduled system-wide bus timetable change. Customers are encouraged to review timetables available aboard buses, at customer service offices, online at www.njtransit.com or by calling 1-800-772-2222.
