Hunterdon County LINK

The Hunterdon County LINK is a bus system in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. The system offers fixed-route and demand-response services throughout the county. The system is operated by the Hunterdon County Department of Human Services, and operated by Easton Coach Company. From 2011 to 2020, it was operated by First Transit.

History
The Hunterdon County LINK system started in 1984. From 1984 until 2016, service consisted mainly of demand response service. The only fixed-route buses were the Flemington Shuffles (routes 16 and 20). In March 2016, the county's bus system was redesigned. Demand response service was retained, but four new routes (routes 14 through 18), collectively branded as the "Cross County Shuffles," were introduced, replacing key demand response corridors. In addition to this, a new "Out of County Shuffle" route was introduced, the route 23, running from Flemington to Somerville in Somerset County. As a part of this service redesign, the Flemington Shuffles were also modified, with the route 20 (Evening Flemington Shuffle) being removed and the route 19 being added as a reverse run of the route 16. In January 2019, a bus shelter was added to the LINK Transfer Center in Flemington.

Routes
Hunterdon County LINK operates eight routes. In addition, demand response service is operated throughout the county.

Fleet
Hunterdon County LINK currently operates exclusively minibuses. In the past, however, full-size buses have been used.
