9524 is retired, roof AC sheared off in Newark.

I had a feeling that one of the Neoplans was retired

There are some nice big places that could have been a NJT bus garage just north of the current one. But people seem to want golf courses instead of transit. Can't have it both ways.

I recall NJT were eyeing a spot in Teterboro to replace Oradell. Guess that one went no where...

The 114 is way too long for its own good. Something in general needs to be with bus service in the Raritan Valley and Union County. The 114 does too much, and the 113 doesn't carry a lot (outside of rush hours). 

What kind of solution or suggestion you have in mind?

As for the change for the #1 to/from Exchange Place, is this another way to make up for the #4 getting axed?

NJT might as well make the go25 (pun intended) a route, akin to the go28. Have it run just like its counterpart, 23 hours a day and see how much that can alleviate bus bunching and crowding, only if you market it efficiently

I'm only aware of two.

 

One of them being the Springfield Ave and Bruen Ave #17870 in the downtown direction.

 

The other one being Springfield Ave and William St. #19004 in the Irvington direction.

 

It's going to happen on June 14th from what I saw.

 

 

Needs more stops to be eliminated. At least a good stretch from S 18th until Irvine Turner, too many stops on back to back blocks.

I wonder how many bus stops got cut along Springfield Ave for the 25. This was a long overdue change

6474, 6477 and at least one other bus from Montgomery & Westside IBOA have been transferred to NJ Transit (possibly Ironbound). At the shops right now having the Clever Device installed, so I am told.

Could the other one be either 5919 or 5757?

Any word on when will the electric buses will be coming to Newton Ave?

The 66 goes there full time? 

Yes. The 65/66 now starts/ends at Newark Penn Station. That leaves the 59 as the only one at Washington Park

and the 22/22X

He asked for the Jersey City subcontracted routes, not Hoboken

According to a streetview picture on Google maps, it appears that a Neoplan has been prepped for scrapping over at Ironbound/Newark Bus Complex. Where the NJT waves are located on the bus have been painted black. Can't tell if it's a 95XX or a 96XX series.

Which Jersey City bus routes are subcontracted by New Jersey Transit?

The 2, 10, 88 and 119 (to Academy) are the ones I can think of

We never found out what really happened to Nabi 5757 from A&C bus company. There was no mention of accident or fire very strange. The only other bus make NJT has is the Neoplan Artics not ready quite yet for the scrap yard.

 

5919 was last seen at the Ferry Street Shops on jack stands, possibly as a maintenance training bus.

Also, Saddle River Tours no longer operates the Bergen County bus lines. Community Coach has them back.

Looks like Saddle River lost the Bergen County lines to Community effective 4/2/2019.

That didn't last long... I guess the operation overwhelmed Saddle River Trails

They should...Or give it to Acadamy 22 hillside...That's not a low ridership line...Coach Usa and AC corp made it a low ridership line with the reduced service they started to provide once the take over....Most ppl including myself dont use it anymore cause of the waiting times...

Or it could be that A&C Bus is short on drivers or a bit cash strapped? *shrugs*

Its low on ridership because they cut the buses...When Layfayette& Greenville operated both the local-Newport-Todays #4 and #3 todays #6 they ran them quite frequently...Especially the local...only way see them doing that they have the 81 serve both newport and exchange place....Whats gonna serve newport from ocean ave if they do that

Doesn't this reek of how Red & Tan in Hudson County ran the route?

So A&C Bus Corp has decided to end the #4 route, effective next month due to low ridership. Thoughts?

Also a few changes needs to be made...

Remove 5757,5919 from Montgomery&Westside/AC Corp those buses been gone.... 

Add 5872,5893,5895,5900 To Greenville From Meadowlands..Those been there almost 2 years 

5919 was last seen in the Ferry St. shops still with the Montgomery & Westside IBOA red stripe

Ah...simple mistake. Thanks for catching it! Updated!

You also pointed out that the 74 is split between Market St, Wayne, and Meadowlands. I believe that route is only Market Street.

Also, has Ironbound retired the 2003 D4000H hybrid coaches # 4004-4007? Haven't seen them on mybusnow for some time.

19091 on the 197, via mybusnow
