Travel Tips and Reminders: 

  • Please allow for extra travel time during the holiday period due to heavier than normal passenger demand and traffic congestion into and out of New York City (heaviest travel times are between 9AM and noon for inbound travel and between 4PM and 8PM for outbound travel).

  • On full-service bus routes, remember that no bills over $20 are accepted. Exact change is appreciated. 

  • Customers departing PABT are reminded that tickets/passes are required before boarding the bus. 

  • To speed up your trip, purchase round trip tickets in advance on your inbound trip or prior to leaving the terminal.
