List of Trolleybus Systems in The United States - New Jersey

New Jersey

Name of System Location Date (From) Date (To) Notes
Camden 1 September 1935 1 June 1947 "All-Service Vehicle" (ASV) system.
Newark 15 September 1935 10 November 1948 "All-Service Vehicle" (ASV) system.
  • Notes for Camden and Newark: The "All-Service Vehicle" systems used gasoline-electric motorbuses modified for operation from external power or onboard engine-generator set. The route systems were not fully electrified, and operating depots had no overhead wires. (A modern-day equivalent of this is the dual-mode bus.)

The operator conducted a demonstration at Weehawken in 1934 prior to opening of public service with ASVs in 1935. Weehawken was served by the Newark system.

The Newark ASV system also served many adjacent towns, including the Hudson County towns of Bayonne, Jersey City, Hoboken, Union City and West New York, the Passaic County towns of Passaic and Paterson, and the Union County towns of Elizabeth and Plainfield.
