The Pureland East-West Community Shuttle also provides direct access to essential businesses and services, from groceries to healthcare. For example, the route stops at the Williamstown ShopRite and serves Inspira Medical Center’s Mullica Hill facility. The community shuttle route is useful for students as well, with stops at Rowan University’s main campus.
With free transfers, shuttle passengers can access eleven NJ TRANSIT bus routes, which connect Gloucester County with destinations including Vineland, Millville, Bridgeton, the Jersey Shore and Philadelphia, PA. The shuttle also connects with the Pureland Internal Circulator, an on-demand route that will take passengers anywhere within the Pureland Industrial Complex’s boundaries.
Safety measures have been implemented to ensure shuttle passengers’ wellbeing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Select seats have been closed for social distancing purposes, masks are required to be worn on the shuttle, and the shuttle buses are regularly sanitized.
