Just moved to Verona - advice on DeCamp buses (Bloomfield: house, buy)

[heatherandmike]

I just bought a house in Verona, and I'm going to be commuting to NYC via the DeCamp buses starting next week. I'm hoping for some advice/tips from any other Verona-to-NYC commuters. First and foremost, I wanted to ask these questions:

1. Where exactly does the bus pick up in Verona? I know it's somewhere by the park on Bloomfield and Lakeside, but can someone verify the exact location?

2. Are the morning pick-up times true to what the DeCamp schedule says?

3. How long is the actual ride into the Port Authority in the morning? (I know the 45 minutes that the schedule claims can't be right.)

4. Can you buy bus tickets in Verona?

Any other tips or advice would also be appreciated!

Thanks!

I've taken DeCamp for nearly two years, mostly from Nutley but their service is HORRIBLE. It is completely unreliable and the people they have working at Port Authority are inept. You might be better off trying to find a parking spot in Montclair on a side street that isnt permit parking and taking one of the trains. Personally, I'd stay far away from DeCamp. It is also extremely overpriced for what they give you. NJT trains will have you in NYC in roughly 40 minutes DIRECT.

Thanks for the tip. I've heard they are pretty horrendous. I'll do what I can to avoid the bus. I appreciate your help.
