Bus Route in Scotch Plains, NJ (Springfield: home, parking, transit)

[rb1016]

I can't seem to locate the 113 bus route/bus stops in scotch plains, nj. Can't find it on njtransit.com.

Does anyone know if it's easy to park all-day near a bus stop in scotch plains, nj?

There's a "map" of sorts at the very bottom of the bus schedule. If you know that area it might be of help:

I haven't taken the 113 bus from Scotch Plains, but I've taken the 114 that runs along Rte. 22. It makes stops at locations that I didn't see on the map. If you follow its route while driving, you'll see the signs for the stops. The 'map' from njtransit isn't very helpful.


I didn't have any trouble parking and getting into the city, but coming home I had a big problem. I didn't realize that the location where I caught the bus had no way for a pedestrian to cross Rte. 22. So when I came back to NJ, I had to walk about 1/3 mile back toward Springfield, make a run-for-your-life crossing, then walk the 1/3 mile west on the other side of 22 to where I parked. Let that be a lesson! On the plus side, there's lots of parking on the side streets off 22.


Sorry I don't have anything better on the 113.

Also note there are 113N (travels alone North ave locally), 113S (local along south) 113X (express along north-Note no 'N') and 113SX (express along South Ave). it matters sometimes when you are looking for an actual bus schedule (like on mybus)
