DeCamp Update

It's not official yet, but NJ Transit and Boxcar, a transportation company I have never heard of before, will step in for DeCamp Bus Lines, which ends service between New York City and its northern New Jersey suburbs in Essex County this Friday.

Boxcar has announced the "Essex Express" bus to start running on Easter Monday, Starting April 10, with ten runs every morning between 5:30 A.M. and 10:30 A.M,, and another ten runs every evening between 3:30 P.M and 9:30 P.M.   The company plans to follow the same route as the #33 DeCamp bus from the Caldwells through Montclair and then go up Park Street and Valley Road to New Jersey Route 3, which leads into New Jersey Route 495 and then to the Lincoln Tunnel.

NJ Transit will be running buses in place of DeCamp for "weekday peak periods only," so it's unclear as to what DeCamp routes NJ Transit will be running, or whether Boxcar plans to run buses on weekends.  A more detailed schedule will be revealed tomorrow.
