NJ TRANSIT has initiated a substantial fleet upgrade with the arrival of the first of 175 new 40-foot buses, manufactured by New Flyer. This delivery is part of NJ TRANSIT's ongoing commitment to modernize its fleet and enhance service reliability statewide. The New York Times (nytimes) reports that the new buses, set to be delivered by June 2026, come equipped with safety features like onboard and blind-spot cameras, and turn-warning systems. Passengers can also enjoy modern amenities such as USB charging points, LED interior lighting, a low-floor design for easy access, and updated intercom systems. Since 2018, NJ TRANSIT has authorized the purchase of over 1,400 buses, representing an investment of over 1.7 billion USD. This commitment is part of the agency's goal to replace or upgrade all ageing buses and rail cars by 2031. Governor Murphy's investment in public transportation is making this ambitious plan possible. The first of the 175 new buses has arrived, marking a significant step towards NJ TRANSIT's goal of a modern, reliable transit system by 2031. With enhanced safety features and passenger amenities, these buses are set to improve the overall travel experience for NJ TRANSIT customers.
