Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox Bus transit DeCamp Bus Lines is an apportionedШаблон:Definition needed bus company serving Essex County, New Jersey and Passaic County, New Jersey, with charter services. Until 2023, DeCamp also operated commuter line-run services to and from Manhattan.[1]

History

The family-run business was started as a stage-coach company, in 1870.[2]

COVID-19 pandemic

All service was suspended on March 25, 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic in New Jersey.[3]

It resumed in June, but was again curtailed on August 7, 2020, due to low unsustainable ridership.[4][5]

In May 2021, DeCamp began to resume operations once again starting with charter services. On June 14, 2021, commuter services also resumed on a limited weekday schedule.[6][7]

On March 20, 2023, DeCamp announced it would cease operating its commuter services lines after April 7, citing unsustainably low ridership because many of their former customers were now working from home instead of commuting to Midtown Manhattan.[8]

Former commuter routes

There were no fixed stops other than terminals, buses could hail to board; riders could request a stop to exit. Local passengers within New Jersey were not carried on any line except for the 32. According to the company it normally carried up to 7,000 passengers per day. However these numbers dropped after the COVID-19 pandemic.

While all lines were indefinitely and temporarily suspended at the onset of the pandemic, the 32 and 88 lines were never brought back after commuter services were brought back. As such, these routes were unofficially discontinued since 2020, and permanently with the decision by DeCamp to drop the commuter routes. All other routes were brought back to some extent, and permanently discontinued in April 2023. Some of the routes were rebranded and operated under New Jersey Transit. Buses that NJT owned were sent back.
