Princeton, NJ’s Free Loop Bus Service Re-Launches with Added Express Route

Princeton, New Jersey, has re-launched a free bus service to get around town. It's called the Princeton Loop. It used to be just a single bus, but now the service has been expanded for Princeton residents who don't want to (or can't) drive around town, guests, and those who work in town.

Princeton Loop bus service now includes a faster Loop Express route

On April 10, Princeton officials held an official ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Princeton Shopping Center for the new Princeton Loop, which now includes a faster Loop Express route, connecting the Princeton Shopping Center, downtown Princeton, and the Princeton station. Loop Express runs 6 days a week and is a 40 minute round trip around town.
