2012 Bus Route Cancellations, Service Reductions, and Service Expansions
On July 11, 2012 NJ Transit publicly announced that it had finalized plans to cancel service on routes 42, 43, 75 and 93 effective September 1, 2012.
Combined with changes to service on routes 56, 57, 181, go28, 451 and 604, these changes were forecasted to result in "approximately $2.5 million in annual operating savings."
NJ Transit also intended to split route 62 into two routes and expand route 99. On September 1, 2012, bus route 62 increased service on its northern portion between Newark Penn Station, Newark Airport, and Elizabeth, while the rest of the route south of Elizabeth became route 48.
The company further stated that "most customers will not be significantly impacted" and that the financial gains would allow for service expansion in and around Newark and "help keep fares stable" for NJ Transit customers.
