Rockland Coaches

Rockland Coaches Inc., formerly known as The Red and Tan Lines, and locally shortened to Red and Tan, is a commuter coach company owned by Coach USA based in Westwood, New Jersey, that operates commuter bus service between New York City and points in Bergen County, New Jersey, and Rockland County, New York, and provides local bus service in both locales north of Route 46. Coach USA acquired the company in 1997.

In June 2024, Coach USA filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, blaming corporate impact caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company has plans to sell its assets, and has planning to sell its Megabus and Avalon Transportation subsidiaries to Bus Company Holdings, a unit of the Renco Group.

Routes
Between Bergen and Rockland Counties, and New York City, Rockland Coaches provides service along six routes.

Route ends are given for each route except for branching. Some trips may only serve a portion of the route.

In March 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many routes were suspended or limited to peak-only service. Throughout 2020, 2021, and 2022, this limited-service schedule remained, however on April 1, 2023, limited Saturday service was restarted on the 11X and 45 routes.

On October 23, 2023, weekend service was reinstated on the 9A and 9T routes. In addition, limited off-peak weekday service was added on the 9A, 9T, and 20 routes. In this service change, Saturday service on the 45 was also cut. Despite these changes, most routes remain peak-only and commuter-oriented, and some routes remain suspended.

Former routes

 * Rockland Coaches operated Transport of Rockland from 1976 to 2013, when it lost the contract.
 * The 14, 21T, 46, and 49J, all commuter routes operating to New York City, have been suspended since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fleet
Rockland Coaches' fleet consists of exclusively NJ Transit-owned MCI coach buses. The fleet consisted of older MC-series coaches, which were replaced with D4000 and D4500 coaches in the early 2000s. From 2019 to 2021, Rockland Coaches received brand-new D4500CT coaches to gradually replace the older D4000 and D4500 coaches.
