Unicorn party bus ticketed on NJ road for homemade roof deck

FAIR LAWN — A party bus with a homemade roof deck was pulled over Wednesday on a busy highway in Bergen County.

Fair Lawn police caught up to the revamped mini school bus heading north on Route 208 after it was initially spotted on Route 4 westbound in Paramus.

A summons for "driving on parts not intended for passengers" was issued by officers to the driver, police said.

The Fair Lawn Police Department also shared on its Facebook page a video clip of the bus taken by photographer Boyd A. Loving.

Comments included speculation about whether the bus had been headed to a Phish concert in New York this coming weekend — NBC New York reported that it was actually headed in the humidity and heat to a "water park in Sussex County."

"Glinda the Good Bus" has been on the road in the New Jersey and New York area for about the past two years, according to its Instagram account.

These are the best hiking spots in New Jersey

A trip to New Jersey doesn't have to be all about the beach. Our state has some incredible trails, waterfalls, and lakes to enjoy.

From the Pine Barrens to the Appalachian Trail to the hidden gems of New Jersey, you have plenty of options for a great hike. Hiking is such a great way to spend time outdoors and enjoy nature, plus it's a great workout.

Before you go out on the trails and explore some of our listeners' suggestions, I have some tips on hiking etiquette from the American Hiking Society.

If you are going downhill and run into an uphill hiker, step to the side and give the uphill hiker space. A hiker going uphill has the right of way unless they stop to catch their breath.

Always stay on the trail, you may see side paths, unless they are marked as an official trail, steer clear of them. By going off-trail you may cause damage to the ecosystems around the trail, the plants, and wildlife that live there.

You also do not want to disturb the wildlife you encounter, just keep your distance from the wildlife and continue hiking.

Bicyclists should yield to hikers and horses. Hikers should also yield to horses, but I’m not sure how many horses you will encounter on the trails in New Jersey.

If you are thinking of bringing your dog on your hike, they should be leashed, and make sure to clean up all pet waste.

Lastly, be mindful of the weather, if the trail is too muddy, it's probably best to save your hike for another day.
