Travel by Bus
Most New Jersey Transit #197 buses stop at our driveway, which is
at the corner of Hamburg Turnpike and Squad Place (a half mile north of
Alps Road).
In addition to Wayne, the buses travel through West Milford, Ringwood,
Wanaque,
Pompton Lakes and Totowa.
There are many transfer points along the route, including a major
transfer at the Willowbrook Mall,
which makes us accessible by bus from additional towns (and from New
York).
NOTE:
Some #197 buses do not go past Squad place, so be sure to
check the schedule,
which is available online at: http://www.njtransit.com/pdf/bus/T1196.pdf
[To view the schedule you must have the Acrobat Reader program, but it
can be downloaded (free)
by clicking here.]
When
you get on the bus, tell the driver that you want to get off at Squad
Place in Wayne.
If
you get off the bus coming from the south, you will be on the same side
of the street as our driveway.
If you get off the bus coming from the
north, you will have to cross the street.
You
will see a Wayne Adult Community Center sign directly under the sign
for the Schuyler-Colfax school.
Walk
along the road that leads to the Schuyler-Colfax school (it looks like
a
continuation of Squad Place).
We are in the white and brick building
on the left.
