When I went there for training, there's no space. No wonder that depot has the most accidents in the depot itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TyBusLover1 Posted March 20 Share #3706 Posted March 20 Btw I know 21242 is not a D4500CL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmansports Posted March 20 Share #3707 Posted March 20 MC’s are not standing room only friendly. This is why I don’t allow standing room it increases dwell times as well as customer tension on the bus. The only exception I allow standing room only if I know I’m the last bus for the night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would help, Dave, but it’s becoming difficult keeping up with the constant shuffling and reshuffling. At this stage, the rosters are not settled just yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if they're just running the 9000s and 7100s until their inspections expire or as long as they're good for. Wayne is at nearly 250 buses now so I doubt the number will stay that high. I also remember Wayne was originally supposed to get 21191-21240 (which is 50 buses) back in early 2021 - guessing this means Wayne will get 50 of the ex-private carriers 21000s.

I believe they may've been repaired but I'm not sure if they're still with Suburban or back with NJT I mean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure they were fixed under Suburban Transit since it was at a different repair shop (not NJT CMF) and it had Coach USA livery on the rear after it was repaired.

It makes a lot of sense...Wayne is getting more buses to retire the 9000s and 7100s, this would just speed up the process. Also lessens the maintenance load at Fairview.

Having been on their routes with these new 45fters, from a logistics standpoint, it's terrible. There's way too much stop-and-go happening on those fairview routes(especially the locals) for those MCIs to be used reliably. The dwell times go up, and people bring their luggage and other things onto the bus, delaying everyone. It makes more sense for them to be fully 40fter/artic than for them to have 45ft MCIs in which their practicality is questioned. It was a little better when they had the D4000s. On the R routes, it's not that bad, the locals, it's terrible, and the 158 is just as bad. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted Tuesday at 07:23 AM Share #3719 Posted Tuesday at 07:23 AM Fairview should just be 90% artics and 10% 40 footers. The ridership signifies that much. Any run that has a cruiser should be done from a depot that can actually handle them, like Meadowlands. I remember I was on the X-board and got assigned a 156 run and it was crushloaded, not to mention the amount of times I had to stop and give change (why Fairview still isn't exact fare is beyond me) had me running 20 minutes behind on every trip. I had a cruiser even though the run called for a 60 footer but we had none available at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what your saying 100 percent and i agree...Fairview back in the day was just artics and 40fts suburbans with a few MCIs...Fairview lines isnt the only lines used by Mcis that suffers from the problems u mentioned above tho...NJT maybe should have ordered more artics rather Mcis.....So how do you fix this problem...Me personally trade some Mcis to meadowlands for some of their artics and 40fts...Otherwise they gonna stay at fairview cause what other garage can take them Edited Tuesday at 01:08 PM by biGC323232 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oradell's routes are definitely similar to Fairview's in terms of design, but the type of usage between both garages is different, same for Market Street. The 550 Artic bus order is supposedly going to allow the 150s to become fully artic. When that, or Ridgefield Park happens remains to be seen.

JLiu15 Posted Wednesday at 09:13 PM Share #3723 Posted Wednesday at 09:13 PM (edited) 21245 plate OYB8805 per inspection report. We're getting close to OYB9000-series. Also, not sure why some ex-Coach USA 21000s still show their most recent inspection report at Coach USA despite having entered service with NJT. This is the case for 21236-21243, 21247-21249, 21252, and 21254-21255. I do know that self inspections do not get posted - not sure if that's the reason.
