Suburban Transit

Suburban Transit (USDOT 314581) (also known as Suburban Trails), is a bus operator in central New Jersey and a subsidiary of Coach USA. It absorbed the operations of former New Jersey operators Adventure Trails and Cape Transit.

Services

Suburban provides line run service from Middlesex County to New York City and local bus service along the Lincoln Highway and Route 130 in Middlesex County.

Under contract to NJ Transit, Suburban Trails operates the 801, 802, 803, 804, 805, 810, 811, 813, 814, 815, 817, 818, 819, 822, and 986 lines.

Beginning on January 17, 2021, Suburban Trails began operating the Middlesex County local service formerly run by Academy Bus Lines, in the wake of a scandal involving the latter company.
