Routes
Current operations
Olympia Trails operates service under three different brands.
Olympia Trails brand
Under this brand, one route is operated:
- The Newark Airport Express, operated between Midtown Manhattan and Newark Liberty International Airport at 15 minute intervals throughout the day. This old route was acquired from New Jersey Transit (NJT) in 1997, previously numbered 300.
ONE/Independent Bus brand
ONE/Independent Bus provides local service on three routes centered in Essex County, New Jersey.
Megabus Northeast LLC
Under Megabus, Olympia Trails operates service from street stops near the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center to:
- M21: Washington, D.C. via Baltimore (some service)
- M22: Boston (selected services)
- M23: Philadelphia (some weekday service)
- M26: Manhattan (New York City), Syracuse, Rochester, Buffalo; and Niagara Falls and Toronto, ON, (Canada).
- M27: Albany, New York via Ridgewood, New Jersey
Megabus also operates to Boston, Massachusetts, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and Atlantic City. Most schedules and runs on the M22 Boston service are operated by Dattco from their facility in Metropolitan Boston. The Philadelphia line is under a split-operation with its sister-company Eastern Travel, with most runs operating out of Coach USA's Philadelphia facility, and Megabus acts solely as a ticket agent for Academy Bus Lines (utilizing its own fleet).
Former operations
Red & Tan in Hudson County brand
Under the Red & Tan in Hudson County brand, Coach USA operated bus routes in Jersey City, Bayonne, Staten Island and to the PABT that have since been discontinued, folded into other lines, or taken over by other operators.
