DeCamp Bus Lines Expands Service In North Jersey (Here’s Where)

MONTCLAIR, NJ — DeCamp Bus Lines is ramping up service and expanding routes across North Jersey as it continues to rebound from a year-long service suspension.

Last week, the Montclair-based company announced that it is adding more commuter routes, mid-day trips and weekend service to and from New York City. The new service began Monday, and includes:

• Additional weekday route 32 service (Nutley, Lyndhurst, Rutherford, Secaucus, Union City)
• Additional mid-day and weekend service on route 33 (West Caldwell, Caldwell, Verona, Montclair, Bloomfield)
• Additional mid-day and weekend service on route 66 (West Caldwell, Roseland, West Orange, Montclair, Upper Montclair, Clifton)
• Additional 66R service to West Caldwell and Roseland
• Additional mid-day service on route 44 (Bloomfield, North Newark, Belleville, Kearny, North Arlington, Lyndhurst, Rutherford)

Passengers are required to wear a face mask for the duration of their trips. People should not travel if they’re sick, DeCamp stated.

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.

After suspending service for more than a year due to the pandemic, DeCamp Bus Lines resumed limited service in June.
