A&C Bus Corporation operates four routes that serve the West Side of the city. These routes cater to the transportation needs of residents and visitors alike.

Here's a breakdown of the current routes:

The routes also have specific notes, which include notable stops along the way.

A&C Bus Corporation has had its fair share of taking over routes from other operators. One notable example is the Bergen Avenue route, which was previously operated by Bergen Avenue IBOA. The NJDOT granted emergency operating authority to A&C Bus Corporation after Bergen Avenue IBOA abruptly stopped running its only route on March 12, 2011, due to an unpaid insurance payment.

A&C Bus Corporation began operating the Bergen Avenue route on March 16, 2011, with no changes in bus fares but reduced operating hours to 6:30AM–10:00PM. The owners of Bergen Avenue IBOA intended to sell the rights to operate the route, but the NJDOT stated that the company's rights ceased when it stopped operating without warning to passengers.

A&C Bus Corporation also took over Route 4, which was previously run by Red & Tan in Hudson County. A&C Bus began operating the route between Greenville and Newport Centre Mall after Red & Tan discontinued service on November 6, 2011.

The Bergen Avenue Route had a bit of a tumultuous past. It was originally operated by Bergen Avenue IBOA, but they abruptly stopped running their only route on March 12, 2011, due to an unpaid insurance payment. The New Jersey Department of Transportation granted emergency operating authority to A&C Bus Corporation, which took over the route on March 16, 2011.

A&C Bus Corporation reduced the operating hours to 6:30AM–10:00PM, running every half-hour. The owners of Bergen Avenue IBOA stated that they intended to sell the rights to operate the route, but the NJDOT said the company's rights ceased when they stopped operating without warning.

A&C Bus Corporation operated the Bergen Avenue Route for nearly eight years, until March 2, 2019, when they discontinued service due to low ridership. New Jersey Transit route 86 was extended to replace part of the route, and NJ Transit Route 1 was also rerouted to replace some of the former Route 4 service along Communipaw and Pacific Avenues.

It's worth noting that the fleet of buses used by A&C Bus Corporation was leased from New Jersey Transit.

The former fleet of buses is a fascinating topic. Many of these buses were retired after years of service, but some interesting facts remain.

The Nova Bus RTS-06 was a popular model, with several examples in the former fleet, including buses 1201, 1227-1239, 1284-1285, and 1550-1555. These buses were delivered new in 1999 and were equipped with Cummins ISC engines and ZF5HP590 transmissions.

Some buses, like 2528, were notable for their longevity, remaining in service until 2018. The Nova Bus RTS-06 was also known for its reliability, with many buses serving for over a decade.

Here are some of the former fleet buses, listed by manufacturer and model:

The Flxible Metro "D" was another model in the former fleet, with buses 1769, 1771-1772, and 1776 being notable examples. These buses were delivered new in 1994 and were equipped with Cummins C8.3 engines and ZF4HP590 transmissions.
