Episode Details

NJ Transit awards new bus route contracts to Suburban Transit and Academy Express, with Suburban securing a $75.5 million deal for Middlesex routes and Academy winning a $95 million contract for Bergen routes. The Middlesex contract was initially awarded to Academy but was later revoked due to Suburbans protest, citing bankruptcy issues. Academys Bergen contract extension comes despite a 8% weekly cost increase, as they beat out competitors like Coach USA. The private bus contract market is seeing rising costs due to fewer bidders following recent bankruptcies, with Academy now holding five NJ Transit contracts since 2024.
