46Dover Posted April 12, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 12, 2014 Latelywhen deadheading into NY via I 280, I've been seeing a lot of RTS buses on NJ Transit routes (mostly in The Oranges) and fewer in the Meadowlands dead line (or is it just me?) Are they making a comeback for sake of ridership/Pulaski Skyway closure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busdude2 Posted April 13, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 13, 2014 The Orange garage still has some RTS buses left. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk There should be less than 25 Nova's left and just a few 30ft ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaTransitMan4608 Posted April 13, 2014 Share #5 Posted April 13, 2014 I still don't know why they would do that. That's like putting 30ft NABIs on the 126. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted April 13, 2014 Share #6 Posted April 13, 2014 When I took the 95 three weeks ago, the B/O told us that NJT had taken some buses out of storage, including the very bus, #1466, that I was on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Less than 5 total I think. When I took the 95 three weeks ago, the B/O told us that NJT had taken some buses out of storage, including the very bus, #1466, that I was on. Yes they cleaned up some only for the 95 including some 1300's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to my friends, though, those two RTS are no longer at Broadway Bus. I don't know about A&C, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silk City Transit Posted April 16, 2014 Share #14 Posted April 16, 2014 That was actually done albeit with Delaware DART equipment for when Hurricane Sandy put PATH down for the count in Hoboken The 126 was basically load and go at that time so it didn't really matter what they used - whatever they could get their hands on.

Van2006ko Posted July 14, 2014 Share #15 Posted July 14, 2014 Anyone has any updates on this fleet or has the entire fleet been retired? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GojiMet86 Posted July 14, 2014 Share #16 Posted July 14, 2014 Anyone has any updates on this fleet or has the entire fleet been retired? I think they're still around. Best place to check would be Newark Penn, especially on the 95 line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted July 15, 2014 Share #17 Posted July 15, 2014 Anyone has any updates on this fleet or has the entire fleet been retired? Coach USA owns theirs now so they'll be sticking around, you'll find them mostly on the 24. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van2006ko Posted July 16, 2014 Share #18 Posted July 16, 2014 Coach USA owns theirs now so they'll be sticking around, you'll find them mostly on the 24. Do they operate on the route 24 on Weekends? Why? because I am making a trip up to Newark this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
