Updated Maplewood Jitney Schedules Released As Morris & Essex Lines Still Limited

Note: This story was updated Thursday night with new links

MAPLEWOOD, NJ — Maplewood has increased frequency of jitney stops in the township and South Orange after NJ Transit announced that the Morris & Essex lines will offer limited stops through the end of the day Friday, and possibly over the weekend.

After heavy winds knocked down a tree in Maplewood on Monday and damaged rail equipment, train service was temporarily suspended, then returned only to certain rail stops. The modified NJ Transit train schedules are here.

In response, Maplewood Jitney busses are making regular runs between Maplewood Jitney stops and the South Orange train station. The Wyoming Jitney is also making stops at the Maplewood train station to pick up commuters who do not regularly ride the Jitney.

Revised schedules for each Jitney route can be found below:
