This is not the first #10 route that NJT has ever been involved with. To my knowledge, there were two. The first was inherited from Maplewood Equipment Company. It was a PABT route that ran up the Bergenline Avenue corridor. It was merged with a #6 and a #61 line to form what is today's #156 Englewood Cliffs-New York route.The other #10 route was in the southern and central part of the state. It was a single round trip running between Camden (the old bus terminal as it pre-dated Walter Rand TC) and Fort Monmouth, then an active army base. It ran eastbound very early in the morning and westbound late at night. Essentially it was a revenue equipment move for the #317 Asbury Park-Philadelphia route, getting a bus from its home garage in Camden to Asbury Park to start the first morning trip to Philly, and reversing that process with the last #317 in the evening. With that #10 line long cancelled, nowadays the #317 bus deadheads. |
