New Jersey Transit - Random Thoughts Thread
NeoplanDudeJosMuller replied to Orion VII 4 Life's topic in New Jersey Transit
shes probably some ugly ass lady that just wants attention, had a bunch of septa bus drivers tell me I was a creep. one called me an old pervert, for those of you who don't know, im 12 years old. so much for that insult. People are getting real pathetic these days, and no one can mind their own business -
Orange Garage Total Buses: 233 Routes: 5, 11, 21, 27 (split - Hilton), 28, 29, 34, 41, 71, 73, 79, 92, 94, 95 96, 97, 258 (GO28) 1999 NovaBus RTS-06: 1312-1314, 1332, 1338, 1341, 1344-1345, 1348-1350, 1352-1353, 1356-1357, 1360, 1366, 1369, 1373, 1381, 1391, 1395, 1402, 1408, 1413, 1418, 1425, 1439, 1455, 1466 2000 NovaBus RTS-06: 1534 2001 NovaBus RTS-06 Suburban: 1579 2008 NABI 416.15 Suburban: 5313-5322 2011 NABI 416.15: 5827-5851, 5936-5975 2012 NABI 416.15: 6264-6325 2013 NABI 416.15: 6399-6402, 6403-6409, 6410-6416, 6417, 6418, 6419, 6420-6424, 6425, 6426, 6427-6429, 6430-6462 All of these novas have been retired since atleast a week ago, so you can remove them from the assignments ..... Coach USA–Elizabeth Garage (Olympia Trails/Orange-Newark-Elizabeth (ONE) Bus) Total Buses: 170 Routes: 12, 24, 31, 44, 305, 978, 979, 981, Newark Airport Express 1999 NovaBus RTS-06: 1036-1102, 1103, 1104-1105 2000 NovaBus RTS-06: 1509-1512, 1516-1520, 1521, 1522, 1537, 1538, 1540-1549, 1560-1562, 1565-1567 2002 BlueBird TransShuttle CS: 606-609, 616-617 2003 El Dorado Escort FE: 421-424, 429 2010 NABI 416.15: 5631-5638 2013 NABI 416.15: 6499-6550 1515 still exists, or so I was told, I rode 1558, and saw 1557. 1537-1538 were said to be in new Brunswick. 1103 and 1521 are the only other novas that I haven't heard anything about, but I guess they still exist since I wasn't told they don't. And all the other novas are retired and all 1000s series Nova Rts buses have been retired since two years ago. And 1104 and 1105 haven't been here since late 2012. They aren't saving any novas either, 2625 is all they want here at NJT

All NJT Novas out of service, only a few novas can even possibly be brought back into service, one 1400s and two 1300s. The only novas in service as we speak are from Coach USA 1103, 1515, 1521, 1537-1538, 1557-1558... BTW I rode 1558 and saw 1557 both on the 24B... Also..... Is this how the novas are getting retired at coach USA? When the 2016 NJT MCI Hybrid D4000CTHs come in, they will retire most of the old MCI Diesels from 2001-2003, but some old MCIs will be moved up to Coach USA to retire all the novas? That's what a 24 driver told me...

I just went to Newark today, just to see what its like again... This was my 10th trip to Newark so far, and again, I was unsuccessful with catching a nova... In case this helps, here are my sightings... @ Broad-Market 6384-1 5594-62 6284-34M 6501-44 6363-25 @ Penn Station 5963-34B 5441-72 6520-44 9537-13 8252-67 5608-21 9532-39 5863-72 5855-Off Duty 6509-41 9538-39-(I rode this bus) @ Hilton Mainanence Facility 9547-39 9545-Off Duty 6385-Off Duty 5980-21 5418-Off Duty 5954-94 @ Irvington Terminal 5618-27R 6381-25 6380-25 5753-13B 6296-17 9543-70 6363-25 I was thinking about going to the Newark Liberty Airport, but I've been there many times, and only saw novas there once. Do you guys know when novas run, and if Orange even runs them on weekends? I know Coach USA still does, but today was not a very lucky day. Also, don't Novas have 5 speed ZF transmissions, hence, ZF 2-5HP-592C?
