Bus Stop At Hoboken Train Station Will Be Relocated, NJ Transit Says

HOBOKEN, NJ — An interim bus terminal is being built near the Hoboken Train Terminal, according to NJ Transit, as part of upgrades involving a forthcoming mixed-use development in the area.

The temporary terminal — which passengers will begin using this summer — will let the transit agency renovate the existing bus overhang located in a lot alongside the train station.

NJ Transit and officials broke ground on the temporary terminal on Thursday, they said.

The new station will be located west of the River Street and Hudson Place intersection, the agency said.

It will include eight bays serving the 126, 89, 87, 85, 63/64/68 and 22/23 lines, as well as pedestrian pathways, lighting and passenger loading, unloading and queuing areas.

"The new bus terminal is one aspect of the public infrastructure improvements the Hoboken Connect project will realize," the transit agency said Thursday. "Other work includes a complete restoration of the second floor of the historic ferry terminal into a premier events space, improvements and flood resiliency work."

The larger Hoboken Connect redevelopment will include a 21-story office building, a 386-unit residential tower called Charlie, and $900 million in infrastructure improvements, the agency said.
