Routes

Under contract to NJ Transit

Under contract to New Jersey Transit, Academy Bus operates the following routes. Routes are listed by county.[2][3]

Other contract operations

Under contract to Rutgers University, Academy Bus operated the campus shuttles for the New Brunswick and Piscataway campuses under a 10-year contract,[4] until June 30, 2011, after which time First Transit Services, Inc. took over bus operations. Academy has filed a lawsuit against the University over the loss of the contract.[5][6] Despite the loss of shuttle operations, the company continues to provide the chartered bus operations used for tours and other events.

Academy continues to run a separate operation in New York City for New York University and various operations for universities in southern Connecticut and around Boston. Also, Academy Bus operates long-term parking shuttles around Newark Liberty Airport.

Directly controlled commuter routes

Academy Bus provides commuter line run service along several routes from Burlington, Middlesex, Monmouth, and Ocean counties in New Jersey.[7]

The full route is shown for each except for branching. Unless otherwise noted, passengers are carried to and from New York only.
