davemackey Posted June 25, 2020 Share #652 Posted June 25, 2020 (edited) Not for NJT. Apart from prison buses, MCI is generally not making any 40 foot buses. Through 20079 have been inspected. 20080 is being inspected now. 20083, 20084 and others still at the plant, but I think they may be on the way. Also, at last check, none of the Saddle River buses have gotten inspected yet. They are still in various stages of rehabilitation.

There is a separate bid for 290 40ft buses That is on hold and may be void if they can succeed to buy the land in Ridgefield Park NJ using eminent domain powers for the New Northern bus garage meant to replace Oradell and relief Market St. NJT wants 45 FT cruisers across the board for the interstate lines If it fails; NJT is forced to order 40ft buses for Oradell and Market st 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any idea how long this can take? Hopefully not too long. Many of these 40'ers out of Oradell seem to be on their last legs and they are Loud. The engine/engine brake sound like a suffocating walrus. In addition, there are one too many buses with non-functioning signs so the route numbers are taped onto the windshield. There was a streak where almost every 2 weeks, I spotted a dead cruiser being towed to a garage. I like the new 45'ers that Rockland Coaches (Westwood) received. But there is still no word on when they will resume service. Will they receive any more buses this year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted June 28, 2020 Share #658 Posted June 28, 2020 I thought Coach was going to get more buses at the end of this year. If any of those operators are still running the older coaches then they're bound to get a few more. BTW 20062 is now in revenue out of Ironbound. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should send them some 18000's and NJT can get the newer ones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not happening anytime soon NJT time line seems to point to 2025 the latest at the rate they’re going they might as well purchase a whole bunch of XD40’s with suburban seating and no rear door for Oradell and call it a day Edited June 29, 2020 by Suydam Street 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s likely with south jerseys 18000s. 18001-18129 will most likely go to market st/oradell and south gets a new batch again due to mileage. EHT buses are already in the 300k. 16001 has over 420k as it’s a demo bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know how likely that is the excuses I get range from Oradell can’t have 45’ buses because “they can’t fit in the maintenance pit” first off who grand idea was it to select a location that was flood prone didn’t build a facility that wasn’t height restricted Oradell you can’t hoist anything in the air to do proper maintenance everything is done in the maintenance pit Trust me I’m tired of driving raggedy equipment seats with no cushion and he likes Edited July 4, 2020 by Suydam Street 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The drivers seat in the new fleet don’t have cushion. It’s a hard leather. Everything that goes on at Oradell is all from the towns restrictions. Back when that garage was built there was nothing out there, as it started to get popular with celebrities and people with 5-6k figure incomes the taxes went up and they started complaining about the buses; so in turn oradell was doomed to be limited before they could even rebuild at that location. As well as no one ever thought those lines would be heavy like they are present day. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted July 10, 2020 Share #673 Posted July 10, 2020 Since a whole bunch of buses are now in service that were previously not, let's reset here. All buses are in service except: 20063, 20072, 20075, and 20077 and up. Buses through 20082 have been inspected. Buses in the 20090's are now in delivery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted July 13, 2020 Share #675 Posted July 13, 2020 One bus inspected today- a VIN was skipped so I don't know the fleet number just yet. Either 20083 or 20084. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
