The 72 is a NJ Transit bus route that goes between Newark Penn Station & Broadway Bus Terminal in Paterson. The route is one of the busier routes on NJT and buses run every 20 minutes during peak times. The route takes Main St in Paterson, Broad St in Clifton & Bloomfield, Bloomfield Av in Bloomfield and Newark and finishes in Downtown Newark at Newark Penn Station. The route takes about 1 hour from Paterson to Newark and is a 4 Zones route. I hope you enjoy the bus ride with an operators view as we cruise along.
