Schools and groups in Bloomfield
Bloomfield Public Schools serves the township from Bloomfield High School and Bloomfield Middle School down to a ring of neighborhood elementary schools, with the campus of Bloomfield College of Montclair State University at the center of town. Parochial schools, preschools, the recreation department and the township's many youth sports organizations all run their own trips.
What Bloomfield books
One request form, one dispatch office, one written quote. These are the trips we run for Bloomfield week in, week out.
Field trips
Liberty Science Center is about 25 minutes, the Newark Museum of Art, NJPAC and Branch Brook Park about 15, Turtle Back Zoo and Thomas Edison National Historical Park about 20, and Manhattan museums and Broadway matinees 40 to 60 minutes. Oakeside Bloomfield Cultural Center and Brookdale Park are short local trips for the lower grades.

Super Essex Conference and county games, tournament days and night games with late returns. A bus that waits at the field is standard; a drop-off and return pickup can be quoted instead for long days.
Late buses and camp routes
After-school late buses and activity runs, mid-day runs between buildings, and daily summer camp routes to county pools and parks.
Community groups
Church outings, scout troops, senior center trips and employer shuttles to the Bloomfield and Watsessing Avenue train stations or to events at the Prudential Center.
From our Little Falls yard to Bloomfield
The Parkway from exit 155 in Clifton to exits 148 through 151 drops a bus into Bloomfield in about 20 minutes; Bloomfield Avenue and Broad Street are the surface alternatives when the Parkway is heavy. Brookdale Park, shared with Montclair, and Watsessing Park are local destinations in their own right. Heading out, the Parkway south and Route 280 give fast access to Newark, the Turnpike and the Holland and Lincoln tunnels.
On the day
Bloomfield's older school buildings sit close to the street with short frontage, so we agree the loading spot in advance and often recommend a 29-passenger bus where a full-size one would block the block. Broad Street and Bloomfield Avenue are slow at dismissal; we build that into return times. Wheelchair-accessible buses with lifts are available for any trip and an aide rides when the school requires one.
What a school bus costs from Bloomfield
Trips are $124 an hour with a 4-hour minimum. Fuel, the driver, insurance and dispatch are included; tolls, parking and venue bus fees are passed through at cost and itemized on the quote. Most half-day trips from Bloomfield fit inside the minimum. Send the date, the group and the two addresses and the written quote, the exact number for your trip, comes back within one business day.

Bloomfield questions
How soon can a Bloomfield school get a bus?
Two weeks ahead is comfortable, a month for May and June. For a bus this week, call dispatch at (973) 306-4838; we tell you whether one is free.
Can Bloomfield leagues and churches rent a school bus?
Yes. Our drivers hold passenger endorsements and the buses are inspected for passenger service, so leagues, churches, scout troops and employers book the same way schools do. Non-school groups pay 7 days before the trip date.
Does the driver stay at the destination?
Usually, yes. The driver waits with the bus and is reachable if plans change. For long days, we can quote a drop-off and a return pickup instead.
