IronboundNJT

Hilton is getting the protective doors put on their 5400's. 5418 has one installed & there's more to come.

If its the same partitions that they have on the 5650s out of ironbound they are garbage they dont do true partition like MTA they didnt bother to move the wayfarer so the door closes so we can still reach it leaving a huge space that can still get reached around or have something thrown at you. And the very first batch didnt even come with any sort of lock it came with a suction to keep the door close which failed to do that even the bus was a year old. Bus operator is not hard, stressful at times yes but not hard. But some of the decisions NJT makes or doesnt make makes this position needlessly difficult and dangerous

Two very interesting sightings, 4004 is on the 126 and 8523 now has orange signs.

yeah ironbound has a few rush hour trippers on the 126 and we now have 8519 thru 23 IIRC that now have the amber signs I thought we were doing a sign conversion finally but like the other poster said these were pulled or returned from coach who did the sign convert which is the only reason they have them. and even then theyre not using the displays the howell 40 foot MCI have from what Ive seen theyre using whatever display the NABIs come with. Next time anyone looks notice the display stops a lil short of the display housing and on some buses you can see that they used something (foam, paper?) to fill in the gap

I don't mean Formula One faster, I mean like fast enough to be on time. This one guy I had yesterday was damn near 20 minutes late because he was driving too slow. Like he was doing 30MPH on Route 35, the speed limit on that stretch of road is like 45-50MPH. I'm not saying they should drive like 90MPH, but they should go fast enough to maintain the schedule and obey traffic laws.

Those speed limits we made with cars only in mind yeah we can do that speed in the MCI but let a deer or a kid or some fool roll too far thru a stop sign and its the academy school bus scenario all over again. As an operator I will take getting there safe and late than on time and hoping the entire way no hazard pops up. Plus he could also be using his brain alot of bus schedules are too tight to keep and running it late make customers conplain which in tern causes planning to adjust the schedule.

But whats strange is that they already posted for OA and technically BC even tho the filing was last year

thanks...but my day didn't go to well. I had lost everything when my house was destroyed from sandy. so I didn't have my SS or my high school diploma. they gave me a number to call when I get them but there not holding a spot in train school. SS card will be here in a week. but my high school is no longer around. anyone know where I can get my H.S diploma ?

If you went high school in NY im told that only ever issue the high school diploma once ever if its lost stolen or damaged thats it (happened to me)...your best bet is to contact the board of ed and see if they can issue your a letter stating you graduated from where you attended with board stamp as your notorized proof

I will have this avatar to represent my posting style. Fine I will share this time. One 605 & 600 need a change so in order to concentrate on trains better. 600 trenton service is transfered to 605 605 replaces 611 adding on rush service to 605 now powered up 605 replaces SCOOT PEAK route via us 206 to manville then RR station en rte to bedminster. At rush however 114 short turns and 114X extend to bedminster via 202 adding 10 mins total to run time some 605 trips will skip manville at rush. Or let 655 eat scoot peak with 605 routed to flemington. Let 600 absorb the MCAT M6 improving sat service slight reroute beyond princeton jct to eat parts of M6 to jamesburg

 

As someone who actually drives the 114 even if it is 10 minutes that route doesnt need to be any longer than it already is. Ill admit I'm not familiar with the part of jersey you guys are talking about so Ill apologize now if this doesnt make sense but if this suggestion is only during rush hour perhaps itd be better for the 117 to go out there instead of 114
