From our Little Falls yard to West Orange
Prospect Avenue from Route 46 drops into West Orange from the north in about 20 minutes; I-280 reaches the Main Street and Valley sections from the east. The township's hills and winding roads are no problem for our drivers, who run them daily, but they do mean we check that a full-size bus fits the school's loop before the trip. Heading out, I-280 puts Newark and the Turnpike 15 minutes away for trips to Jersey City and Manhattan.
On the day
Several West Orange schools sit on steep, narrow streets where a full-size bus should load from the main road rather than the side street; our drivers know which, and we confirm the loading spot with your contact. For trips to Turtle Back Zoo and Edison from other towns, the zoo's bus lot and the park's drop-off are familiar ground. Wheelchair-accessible buses with lifts are available for any trip, with an aide when the school requires one.
