The last I knew, they were operating on the NJ Transit North TRS on TG 24864 "Perth Amboy Base - Rutgers, New Brunswick Area".

Not sure if this is still the case with last years switch from Academy to First Transit, but its worth a shot (since this is what they were operating on prior). If anybody could shed anymore light on this, it would be greatly appreciated (by myself as well).

Also, just did a search of the FCC Database, and found a listing for First Transit. It is licensed to Hamilton (Mercer County), but lists its transmitter location as 96 Frelinghuysen Road in Piscataway (which is the CoRE building on Busch Campus). In addition, there is a note that states "station to be used for campus shuttle buses".

Frequencies licensed (repeater pairs) are: 461.7625, 466.7625, 464.5875, 469.5875

I haven't listened to the RU bus system for over a year now, so it looks like its time to plug these frequencies in and see what I hear. Can anyone provide anymore insight?

461.7625/d365 (repeater). Maybe also 464.5875/d043 (repeater), it's on the same license and I'm highly confident of the DPL but I'm not sure it's actually used for transit, it may be some other use.

Just heard transmissions on 464.5875, confirmed that it is the Rutgers Bus system (talk of going out of service on College Ave, Red Oak Lane on Douglass Campus being closed, etc), no DPL though (I monitor with a Pro-95). I have yet to hear a transmission on 461.7625, but maybe this will change once the Spring Semester starts up.

How much more information would be needed in order to add this to the database?

Sorry, I just double-checked my file and I got it backwards the first time -- 464.5875R/d043 is what I identified as campus transit and 461.7625R (with d365, I think) is on the same license and may be transit or something else.
