From our Little Falls yard to Livingston
From Little Falls the bus takes Route 46 to Passaic Avenue through West Caldwell and Roseland to Eisenhower Parkway, or I-280 to the Livingston exits, reaching the township in about 20 minutes; Mount Pleasant Avenue, South Livingston Avenue and Hillside Avenue reach every school from there. Heading out, I-280 runs to Newark in 20 minutes and to the Holland Tunnel in about 40, and Route 10 to I-287 covers Morris County and points west.
On the day
Livingston's schools sit on wide suburban roads with real bus loops, which makes loading easy; the driver is told the loop and the contact's cell before the trip. I-280 slows eastbound in the morning and westbound after 3:30, so Manhattan and Newark returns are timed with dismissal in mind, and for the city the driver chooses the Holland Tunnel or Route 3 and the Lincoln Tunnel by destination and hour.

Livingston questions
How early can a bus be at a Livingston school?
Any time you need. Buses leave the yard around the clock for daily routes, so a 6:30 AM pickup for a meet or a 5:00 AM departure for a long trip is normal. Tell us the time you want the bus on the loop and we build in the loading.
Do you run Livingston trips into Manhattan?
Yes. Through the Holland Tunnel via I-280 and the Turnpike for downtown, or the Lincoln Tunnel via Route 3 for midtown, 50 to 75 minutes depending on the hour. Tolls and parking are itemized at cost on the quote.
Can a synagogue, league or company in Livingston book directly?
Yes. Our drivers hold passenger endorsements and the buses are inspected for passenger service, so congregations, leagues, youth organizations and employers book the same way schools do. Schools book on a purchase order; other organizations pay 7 days before the trip date.
