DeCamp Bus Lines In NJ Will Resume ‘Limited Service’ In June

MONTCLAIR, NJ — After shutting down for more than a year due to the coronavirus pandemic, DeCamp Bus Lines is planning to resume limited service in June.

In August 2020, the Montclair-based company announced that it would be suspending service due to the COVID-19 crisis, which caused a steep ridership loss.

The news was a hard hit to many commuters in Essex County, who relied on DeCamp buses to get in and out of New York City. According to its website, the company was making 200 trips per day between points in northern New Jersey and the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Manhattan before the shutdown.

However, there’s a literally a light at the end of the tunnel – the Hudson River tunnel, that is.

Last week, the Montclair-based company announced on its website that although commuter operations are still currently suspended, there are plans to resume “limited service” in mid-June.

“After too many months to count, buses are back rolling again,” DeCamp stated, adding that it’s now booking charters for group travel, and weekly casino service to Wind Creek Bethlehem is operating on its regular schedule.
