History

Prior to the creation of New Jersey Transit, public transportation in New Jersey was the responsibility of the Public Service Coordinated Transport Company, which was originally the Public Service Railway division of the Public Service Corporation of New Jersey until it was spun off when PSNJ was divided into two entities in 1948: Public Service Electric and Gas Company, and PSCT. PSCT provided service throughout New Jersey, originally using trolleys and then transitioning to Trolley Cars, Trolley Buses, and Motor Busses. During the 1970s, the New Jersey Department of Transportation began subsidizing the routes of Public Service, now renamed Transport of New Jersey (TNJ), contracting with TNJ and other companies to operate local bus service throughout New Jersey.^[1] For other companies named Public Service Corporation, see Public Service Corporation (disambiguation). ... 1948 (MCMXLVIII) was a leap year starting on Thursday (the link is to a full 1948 calendar). ... The Public Service Electric and Gas Company (commonly known as PSE&G) is a regulated, publicly owned gas and electric utility company in the state of New Jersey, USA. It is one of the largest combined electric and gas companies in the United States, and is New Jerseys oldest... The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) maintains the State Highway system in New Jersey. ...

New Jersey Transit came into being as the result of the New Jersey Public Transportation Act of 1979 to acquire, operate, and contract for transportation services in the public interest. New Jersey Transit Bus Operations, Inc. came into being the following year, when it acquired Transport of New Jersey. Other purchases and buyouts in the 1980s expanded the bus division of NJ Transit, including the acquisition of the Atlantic City Transportation Company in the early 1980s. The current version of NJ Transit Bus Operations, Inc. came into being in 1992, when NJ Transit Mercer, Inc., which was the successor to the former "Mercer Metro" operation in the Trenton and Princeton areas, was folded into NJ Transit Bus Operations ^[2].

Today, New Jersey Transit Bus Operations owns, leases, or subleases 2982 buses (as of June 2005) ^[3]
