Reservations
Trans-Bridge Lines is a fully reservation-based company. This means passengers have a confirmed booking for the run, date, and time they have purchased to travel. If plans change, passengers must reschedule their tickets for the run they plan to board.
Ticket Information and Terms of Use
- Passengers booked for any run should arrive approximately 15 minutes early and within five minutes of departure to avoid losing their seat to a standby passenger.
- Customers who wish to board an earlier bus on the same scheduled day of travel as their original ticket, may do so as a standby passenger. Standby passengers are defined as passengers arriving without a ticket, an incorrect ticket, or those who intend to pay a Cash Fare. Note: Cash Fares are not available at the Port Authority Bus Terminal.
- Standby passengers should attempt to purchase tickets online if there is seat availability on the bus they wish to board. If there is no seat availability, standby passengers should purchase a ticket for the next available bus. They may then board an earlier bus with that ticket if a confirmed passenger does not arrive within five minutes of departure and a seat becomes available.
- If a passenger cannot make their scheduled run, they are expected to reschedule the ticket. One-Way and Round-Trip tickets are valid only for the day, time and run scheduled and will become null and void after the scheduled bus departs. All tickets are non-refundable and no credits will be given.
- A rescheduling fee of $2.00 per ticket will be charged for all One-Way and Round-Trip tickets that are rescheduled 30 minutes or less before the original departure. Tickets rescheduled 30 minutes or more prior to the original departure, will incur no fee to reschedule. This fee does not apply to Commuter Passes.
- Commuters are afforded 16 hours to reschedule tickets after a missed run. After that time, the boarding pass will become null and void. No credits or refunds will be given.
- Reservations offer confirmed seating on the bus, but not a particular seat. Trans-Bridge Lines does not provide seat assignment or preferential seating.
- Note: Any New Jersey Transit "pink tickets" are valid for six months from the date of purchase. New Jersey Transit no longer sells Trans-Bridge Lines tickets, but any outstanding "pink tickets" will be honored through their expiration dates.
- Passengers must have a ticket to board the bus. Drivers will not transport passengers to another stop in order for them to purchase a ticket. Ticket purchases should be made in advance with a ticket agent, online at TransBridgeLines.com, or via a Cash Fare. No exceptions.
