NJ Transit bus garages

New Jersey Transit (NJ Transit) was created by the Public Transportation Act of 1979 to “acquire, operate and contract for transportation service in the public interest.” In 1980, it purchased Transport of New Jersey, at that time the state’s largest private bus company, including its bus maintenance and storage facilities;[1] it has subsequently acquired numerous other previously privately-owned or corporate carriers.

[6][7] In order to accommodate the new fleet some garages will be closed, others retrofitted for distributed generation, and new ones built.

[8][9][10][11] NJT also owns three lots for layover of buses on routes originating at the Port Authority Bus Terminal, one of which is at the entrance to the Lincoln Tunnel in Weehawken.

Sited on more than 50 acres (20 ha) and equipped to handle 500 buses, the newly constructed facility will replace Oradell and Fairview garages and is scheduled to be completed in 2029.
