Ridgewood NJ, of the City of Hackensack, NJ TRANSIT bus service in that city will have slight adjustments to bus routes and/or stops which take place effective April 7.
All NJ TRANSIT bus service will be moved off of Main Street between Court and Passaic streets and will no longer operate through that area. These changes are the result of the City of Hackensack’s implementation of the next phase of their Main Street streetscape and redevelopment project.
Certain NJ TRANSIT bus routes will see some adjustments to their routes in Hackensack as the city makes improvements to enhance pedestrian safety and improve traffic flow. Customers who normally board their bus along Main Street will now board their bus along State or River streets.
The bus routes that will have slight adjustments are: 83 (to Jersey City), 165 (to Westwood), 168 (to New York and to Paramus), 751/755 (to Paramus), 752/770 (to Ridgewood/Oakland/Paterson), 753 (to New Milford/Cresskill and to Paramus), 762 (to Paramus), 772 (to Meadowlands and to Paramus) and 780 to Passaic and to Englewood). The 76 and 712 bus routes will have slight changes to a few bus stops.
Northbound bus service currently operating along Main Street will be relocated to State Street and River Street.
The trip destination signs seen on the front of the bus will not be affected.
Fares and the frequency of service will not change.

Change in emerson bus stop, Kinderkamack rd,VonWagoner ave very inconvenient impairs access for those of us who park in the stop and shop parking lot to get the southbound bus to nyc. New bus stop is too far away upon return for those of us with impaired mobility to return to the parking lot.
