NJ Transit bus fleet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Template:Short description As of 2025, the active fleet of NJ Transit Bus Operations consisted of approximately 2800 buses which it housed and maintained at eighteen NJ Transit bus garages.[1] NJ Transit and companies leasing buses from the state agency use various models of buses between Template:Convert (minibuses) and Template:Convert in length (some of which are articulated) to provide local and commuter service within the state of New Jersey and adjacent parts of New York and Pennsylvania. NJ Transit introduced compressed natural gas (CNG) buses in 1999 (147 as 2024)[2] and hybrid electric buses in 2007.[3] As of the 2020s, NJ Transit began introducing clean diesel and battery electric buses to make the transition to build a lower or zero-emission fleet.[4] The rosters below list current and past buses purchased or otherwise acquired by NJ Transit for heavy duty fixed-route service.

Active fleet

All buses here are fully ADA compliant. Unless noted, buses are Template:Convert wide. Unless noted otherwise, all units for an order operate under NJ Transit.
