Coach 77 USA bus newbie questions (Orange: credit card, buy, cost)

[njlivresident]

Hi All,
I am planning to take coach 77 bus from Turtle back zoo to PABT. Can you answer some newbie questions:

1. I could not find any app in App Store. Dont they have an app ?

2. Do i have to carry cash for every trip or do they provide monthly pass. If they do provide monthly, where can i purchase the same ? Do they accept credit card on the bus ?

3. I wont be travelling to city all week days. I plan to travel 3 days a week. Since its cost effective to purchase fixed rides, does Coach bus provide any ways to purchase trips upfront like we can do in nj transit app.

4. How is the parking at Arena ? is there a long waiting time to get monthly.

5. Does arena parking provide something similar to fixed rides. I want to avoid having to pay at the booth every time i pickup my car.


Thanks in advance

They barely have a web site. Customer service is definitely not job one.

You can pay cash (no credit) on the bus, but only on the trip TO PABT. From PABT you need to already have a ticket; you can purchase those from the PABT ticket windows with cash or credit, as many as you want (but the discount is for 10 at a time).

Last I heard there was no waiting list, but that was a while ago. You can buy a monthly permit but this will not be cost effective if you're only going in 3 days a week.
