The Passaic Bus Terminal, also referred to as Main Avenue Terminal, is a local and regional bus terminal operated by New Jersey Transit (NJT) located on Main Avenue in Passaic, New Jersey in the city's downtown area. [1] [2]
Unlike its counterpart in Paterson, there are no actual terminal facilities at Passaic Bus Terminal. Instead, there is one turnoff lane on Main Avenue that must be used by all buses entering and departing from the station. [2] In September 2016 it was announced that the antiquated facilities would be replaced with a new off street terminal, made possible in part with federal funding. [3] [4]
Not all bus routes that serve the terminal use it a termination/origination point. [2] Community Coach, under contract with NJT, operates several routes in Passaic and adjacent Bergen County which run Monday through Saturday service. As of 2016 an average of 2,800 weekday NJT passengers on more than 400 weekday trips used the facility. It was estimated that there was an average of 1300 weekday passengers on approximately 550 weekday jitney trips.
