Bus service will begin on a pilot basis this weekend to the mall, which is slated for completion Oct. 25 after nearly two decades of delays and setbacks. The massive entertainment-retail complex will include a miniature golf course, a Legoland Discovery Center, an aquarium, a movie theater and a water park, among other amenities.
Dolce &Gabbana, Saks Fifth Avenue and Zara are among the many retailers who will have a presence at the facility, located in the Meadowlands near Rt. 3 and the New Jersey Turnpike.
NJ Transit is creating a new bus route, 355, which will leave the Port Authority Bus Terminal for the American Dream every half-hour daily. Bus Route No. 356 will operate daily express service from Secaucus Junction to American Dream every 30 minutes.
To provide transportation options for American Dream employees prior to the opening, three local bus routes – the Route No. 85, which operates from Hoboken/Union City to Secaucus; Route No. 703, which operates from Paterson/Passaic to East Rutherford; and Route No. 772, which operates from Hackensack to the Meadowlands – will expand their operating hours and include stops at American Dream beginning on Saturday.
These three bus lines initially will stop at the Racetrack at the Meadowlands until completion of the dedicated hub at American Dream and will continue operations once opened.
Additionally, Route No. 772 will be expanding to include Saturday and Sunday service beginning Saturday.
To utilize Route No. 356 express bus service from Secaucus Junction customers may travel on any rail line that serves Secaucus Junction or any of the five bus routes that serve Secaucus Junction and transfer to Route No. 356 express bus for direct service to American Dream. They are:
No. 2, Journal Square to Secaucus
No. 78, Newark to Secaucus
No. 124, PABT to Secaucus-Harmon Cove
No. 129, PABT to Secaucus
No. 329, Harmon Cove to Secaucus
