That's where I saw the bulk of Orange's Novas back in September/October. Along the Stuyvesant Ave area in Irvington/Union

Try more with the 44, they always seem to have them and that route broke in the 56xxx they received earlier

Those were last seen retired, sitting at the RTS graveyard at Meadowlands garage

Idk if today is an omen but now a DeCamp MCI cruiser crashed in Route 3...

Well NJT is getting their new CRAPIs wrecked. Bus #5937 was in an accident after midnight at Market St & Washington Ave in Newark. No word on what cause it but it collided head on with a cab and the force of impact drove the bus to crash in a building nearby.

Another thing I noticed, this time its about the PCCs that are left: First; any word on the proposed loop to be built at the old Military Ocean Terminal in Bayonne? I know they have 8 PCCs wrapped and waiting to be refurbished at the HBLR shop but why don't NJT use them for special ssrvice on the HBLR? And the same goes for the Newark Light Rail. I happen to take it from Grove St to Penn Station and I saw 2 of them sitting outside the shop rusting and falling in disrepair. Does NJT uses them for maintenance cause if not why not refurbish them for special service like a throwback theme/day?

They do. Its called the Central Maintenance Facility and its attached to Ironbound garage.

Silver Script just said he was on 6461 on the 96 today

While I know that the ALP-44s are retired from service, but I noticed that there was one still with its pantograph installed and the windows not covered/plated outside of the MMC when I was in town recently.

Cause the original 62 heading to the airport in either direction be experiencing heavy crush loads causing the bus to be late.

The 62 got split recently. From Newark Penn to Elizabeth via Airport and Ikea is the new 62. From Elizabeth to all points south of the original 62 is now the new route 48

Just saw 6452 on the 94 in Stuyvesant Ave in Union/Irvington line

So with that said, looks like them Novas won't die

Not true, there is more than 4 left in Orange

Posting to just troll I suppose

Forgot to add this, as far as the Novas go. We know some got sent to A&C Bus. I found 2 of them on the 31 wrapped in Coach USA livery. One was 1515 and another was 155x

well im back in NJ for 2 weeks. but first things first: the way I arrived was pretty long but worth it. Took Amtrak's Cardinal from Cincinnati, OH to Newark Penn. A 20 hour trip (train was an hour late) but to experience the route was great. but once the train pulled out of DC the rest was history. but this is a topic for another thread lol. however i did get my bus rides in today and few things popped out: *first one was the few remaining Novas in Orange. Saw 2 13XXs and 1514 on the 94 and 27 in the AM, then 1407 on the 5 at Penn Station during the PM rush hour. Get them last rides people *second about the whole clever device thing; it isn't about the GPS system (which some people here are complete foamers. not attacking people, just saying). the bell when you hit the Stop Requested tape/button on the Neo's and Crapi's changed. it sounds like when you hit the button in the plane to call in a flight attendant. Has anyone noticed that anywhere else?

from what i heard yes. Greenville stopped getting Crapis at some point of the delivery. And as for Orange, they dont need more buses anyway. They have enough already, send those units south where they actually need them

Just spotted 6427 on the 6 via MybusNow

How is it NJT's fault when NJT and PATH are separate operations? Please explain

I'm still scratching my head as in why is Hilton involved in the 126

no surprise there, if that was the case NJT wouldve canned CUSA Olympia Trails for their terrible service on the 24 and 31

Well sorry to bust your bubble, but Veolia is sticking around for quite some time. NJT extended their contract effective September 1st, 2013 until September 2020. Probably a typo or something

it seems like Greenville will get the latest batch and in return are sending their suburban's to different garages... all we can do is either investigate, fan their routes, or sit and wait

what the hell is NJT doing with all this reshuffling of their fleet??? everyday NJT is shuffling...
