Suburban Transit
Template:Use dmy dates Template:Infobox Bus transit Suburban Transit is a bus operator in central New Jersey owned by Coach USA, which in turn is owned by the private equity firm, Variant Equity Advisors, and provides commuter bus service from Mercer, Somerset, and Middlesex County to New York City and local bus service along the New Jersey Route 27 and U.S. Route 130 in Middlesex County. It has been severely impacted by the Coronavirus Pandemic, which has caused a substantial decline in commuter bus ridership. [1] They also operate the Metropark, Plainfield, Monmouth, and Middlesex County Local Routes for New Jersey Transit.
In June 2024, Coach USA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, blaming corporate impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has plans to sell its assets, and plans to sell its Megabus subsidiaries (including Suburban) to Bus Company Holdings, a unit of the Renco Group.[2]
