Community Coach is a bus operator in northern New Jersey owned by Coach USA, operating fixed route and charter service.
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 plans to sell its Megabus subsidiaries (including Community Coach) to Bus Company Holdings, a unit of the Renco Group.[2]
In November 2024, it was announced that the Renco Group had completed the purchase of the company.[3] On December 31, 2024, Coach USA and all subsidiaries converted their Chapter 11 cases to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation.[4]
