==Location and vicinity==
The bus station is located on [[County Route 503 (New Jersey)|River Street]] one block east of the commercial district on Main Street. Nearby is the [[New Jersey Naval Museum]]'s [[USS Ling (SS-297)|USS ''Ling'']] on the bank of the [[Hackensack River]]. Reminders of the original colonial city centered on the [[First Reformed Dutch Church, Hackensack|First Reformed Dutch Church]] and the [[county seat]] of [[Bergen County, New Jersey|Bergen County]], including the [[Bergen County Court House]], are also in the immediate vicinity. The [[White Manna]], an iconic 1946 diner, and the [[Bergen Museum of Art & Science]] are located just north on River Street.

The station is approximately equidistant between two of the three train stations on [[New Jersey Transit]]'s [[Pascack Valley Line]] that serve the city. Transfer to any of them requires a short walk or bus trip. [[Essex Street (NJT station)|Essex Street Station]] serves the southern part of the downtown and the [[Hackensack University Medical Center]], while [[Anderson Street (NJT station)|Anderson Street Station]] serves the northern part including [[Farleigh Dickenson University]]. The three transit hubs are part of Hackensack's [[transit-oriented development]] plan, and potential [[transit village]] initiative,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.njtpa.org/getattachment/3c9e7d3f-0f8b-406b-ab83-561ac89afc47/Hackensack-Transit-Oriented-Development-Report |title=Hackensack Transit Oriented Development Report |access-date=2016-01-23 |archive-date=2016-01-30 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160130062841/http://www.njtpa.org/getattachment/3c9e7d3f-0f8b-406b-ab83-561ac89afc47/Hackensack-Transit-Oriented-Development-Report |url-status=dead }}</ref> which was granted in February 2016.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.northjersey.com/news/hackensack-named-an-official-transit-village-by-n-j-transportation-department-1.1513275 |title=North Jersey |access-date=2016-02-17 |archive-date=2016-02-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160221034231/http://www.northjersey.com/news/hackensack-named-an-official-transit-village-by-n-j-transportation-department-1.1513275 |url-status=dead }}</ref> The proposed [[Passaic-Bergen Rail Line]] would terminate to the west at nearby State Street. The [[New Bridge Landing (NJT station)|New Bridge Landing Station]] (for a time known as North Hackensack) is located over the city's northern border near the city line of adjoining [[River Edge, New Jersey|River Edge]].
