The Morris County Division of Transportation reminds commuters that NJ Transit will be eliminating service on the Morris County Metro Bus lines 4, 5 and 7 over the next several weeks.

The action is being taken by the NJ Transit board of directors to help close the agency's $300 million budget gap.

MCM #5 will stop running Wednesday, June 30, 2010. MCM #5 makes stops in Morristown, Chester, Schooley's Mountain, Hackettstown, at the ITC Crossing, in Budd Lake, Netcong, Roxbury, Dover and the Rockaway Mall.
