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.
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 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).
ONE Bus in Hudson County brand
While ONE bus no longer runs their own routes, they still exist running contract operations in Hudson County.
Former operations
Red & Tan brand
Under the Red & Tan 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.
ONE/Independent Bus
ONE/Independent Bus provided local service on routes centered in Essex County, New Jersey and Union County, New Jersey until October 2023, when it shut down. All routes under ONE bus were taken over by New Jersey Transit.
