It's one of those if it ain't broke, why mess it up

Is it normal for an artic to be on the 99 cause as I post now sitting watching the tracker 20842 running southbound on the 99 is this one of those that come off from other routes?

It's happened even when the Neoplans were around

Random thought regarding the 26KU and 52KU

Would it be feasible for those buses to deviate to stop at the south parking lot on north Ave by Vaughn hall to give students an on campus bus stop? 

@go25 what do you say

Honestly, meh. Morris Ave is the more popular choice.

But the question is are they going to put the clever device on the state owned mcis? The 8500s-8600s and 8900s had the clever device. 

They have to. As part of the fine Academy paid, they agreed to be tracked

Slap in the wrist. Now that they have agreed to be tracked, I'll give it a few years and if they want to, take back the Hudson County bus routes  at least.

Oh I see logistically it can't make sense 

Since Hilton is the word of the day 

I got questions about the 52 

1. Can an articulated run in the 52 

2. Has an artic ran on the 52 

3. What are the purpose of those Maggie Ave trips on the 52? 

To answer the first two, yes. There was a picture of an artic covering for a 52 a few months ago. Probably someone who finished up on a 70 run and was asked to cover for a missing 52 trip. Can an artic be used on a full time capacity on the route? Nope, use the artics on the heavy routes, like the 1, 13, 25, 39, 70.

To answer the last question, it gives the route an alternative routing since Morris Ave can get backed up pretty good? Idk

Random thought why don't they split the 108 between Hilton and ironbound, they are both equal time between the Newark terminal end

Another one has an artic shown up on the 52?

Why do that split of the 108 when Ironbound has issues keeping drivers? The 108 is fine at Hilton

Can't be at CMF until it's inspected. Only record on the vehicle is NJT taking title to it.

Just taking a guess on its whereabouts. So if it's not at CMF, and not at ADD, where would it be?

Probably at CMF

What do you have to say about my other ideas?

Well for starters:

*not every bus route needs to go to Newark Penn, because capacity is the issue.

*Extending the 5 to Kearny, nope. If anything that route needs to be extended further into East Orange to help out the 21, to an extent.

*94/54 split, I'm iffy about it. Sure the 94 has quite the branches for that route, but for the sake of splitting the route off, idk. And no, it doesn't need to be rerouted to Irvington Bus Terminal.

*65 being axed, I mean, take away another route that, during weekday rush hours, helps people get to/from Route 22 to Newark and vice versa, because the 94 doesn't serve downtown Newark. Does the bus look empty after a certain point? Yes, however it has its uses.

Wait, they're getting rid of the only BRT route, the go25? Wow...

The go28 is the other BRT route?...

While I am here as I said in random thoughts what is the point of the 65 I'd eliminate it right it now Newark to Dunellen and 1 trip to Bridgewater?

I would eliminate the valley fair branch of the 13 and give that area service with the 39 or the 90 

What is the point of the go25 they should have expanded it's service hours before whacking it  

Obviously I like the 94/54 split 

Anyway  can they fix the 99 by straightening it out on Bergen st Straight run to orange then north on Clifton Ave to branch Brook park lrt?

Yeah they should eliminate all the 300 route express buses reinvest them into their original routes 

Maybe they should eliminate the go28 reinvest that into the 11/28/29 

Also maybe as a replacement for go28 being eliminated they should expand 62 service and maybe add extra nwk-ewr service

LOL as if the 62 needs more service. They can barely keep up with service in Ironbound, that Orange comes to help out... and that's pushing it.

Yeah My opinion is that they must be kicking them off the property due to either complaints or they are demolishing the plaza? 

Word is the new owner is kicking all commercial vehicles off for parking there. You can thank truckers for ruining that for the bus operators.

would it even be worth it to route the 94 bus through the Irvington Terminal to boost more transfer options its just about a block over from its nearest approach at at Springfield and New Street 

Nah, only a 2 block walk from there, and that would require rerouting the 94 to serve it

I kidda figured Greenville couldn't handle it....10 and  119 To Meadowland aint a bad idea....You now gonna probably see Mcis on the 119 Route...But why not just leave the 10 with coach and meadowlands keep the 84

I'm pretty sure Coach is having issues with keeping up with the level of service (not enough operators) the 10 has. I would split the 10 with Greenville and Meadowlands, in my opinion.

May be more changes on the horizon

In regards to...?

So it has been a few months since Academy lost the Hudson County bus routes to O.N.E. Bus, and for those that depend on the routes or whom fans them, any changes you may have noticed?

18032 can be repaired likely, damage is similar to 20081 last year. Not sure about 18023 yet though. 

Can confirm seeing 18032 at CMF. Also saw 7740 (Oradell) parked outside of Ironbound while having its luminator signs still showing it on the 163T (possibly awaiting the Black Paint of Death)

Im still confused.

Youre saying someone at Kearny City Hall called up NJT and said "we want your buses to stop here, but also, please dont put up a sign to tell people about it?"

And NJT says "sure thing boss"

Pretty much, politics in a nutshell

Why does Paramus have 21 MCI's if they don't have any NYC routes?

The 77?

5812 involved in an accident  between 18th Ave and Grove St in Irvington this morning. No fatalities, looks like a stolen vehicle caused the bus to veer towards the sidewalk and run through a few utility poles.

Anyone here know someone or something about NJT's Locomotive Engineer Training Program?

This idea of them overhauling the entire Newark bus network needs to go back to the drawing board or be thrown out completely.
