Confirmed all this info on the 19000's today. 19001-19030 are Rockland Coaches 19031-19037 are Trans-Bridge Lines. They did get 7 buses, one more than they were scheduled to get. Both 19031 and 19037 confirmed on the Trans-Bridge Lines app. 19038-19067 are Academy. 19051, 19056 and 19057, possibly also those buses in between, are running out of Toms River. The higher numbers are running out of Westampton. 19068-19097 are running out of Wayne Garage. Some buses of this batch received their state inspections at Newton Ave. Garage. 19098 delivered but I don't believe it's run in revenue anywhere. 19099-19117 are presumably built but have not been delivered to NJT yet.

State inspection database notes that this bus was last inspected on October 11, 2011, and it failed inspection on emissions (tampering). Facility noted as Foley Cat of Piscataway. Odometer reading was 986, barely more than the distance from Newark to Anniston, AL, where the NABI buses were built, so I'm doubtful that 5919 ever saw revenue service.

My numbers may be off by one because of a missing VIN for the Trans-Bridge portion of the order, which would give them only 6 buses, which seems correct. By my count, through 19096 is on the property. There is a new block of VINs which if they belong to NJ Transit would take them to bus 19115.

Newton Ave. is getting more new cruisers too. I have four vins that show Newton Ave or Camden on their inspection reports - KP015310, -314, -316, -317. these buses arrived this week & the latter two were inspected today.

17185 is VIN 1M8PDMBA9HP014600 and license plate OYB4871

Whoa there! Check the date. That was the additional 332 buses approved for private carriers three years ago, in 2016.

FYI there are no longer any 2015 MCI hybrids at Egg Harbor. You still have a few of them on there but they are all at Ironbound now, including the two that were out for longterm repairs.

All the Academy buses have been delivered and most have been inspected (19064 and 19066 have not). I haven't seen any down around the Toms River area so I'm guessing the northern terminals (Perth Amboy in particular) should be getting the bulk of them. As MCI is on their traditional Christmas break (three weeks), I don't expect any more new buses until at least February.

Those 2141-2150 buses are actually 2016 buses.

The first Academy was inspected yesterday. So looks like Trans Bridge now has seven buses, 19031-19037.

Those buses are being inspected this week. 19031, 19033 and 19035 are ready for service. VINS are KP015238//KP015246 even.

I still don't have a VIN for 17185. Or a plate for that matter.

Thank you! These plates haven't hit any of the lookup services I use (Carfax, Autocheck, and Vehicle History. The plate is actually AU-991S update 11/6 Except for 19022-19023 and 19029, as of Monday, November 5, buses 19001-19030 are inspected and ready to go. VINs end with KP015208-15237 on these 30 buses. VINS have been confirmed (for the most part) throiugh KP015285, but some are missing, perhaps D4505's for other customers, or maybe 40 foot buses - I haven't checked yet. If all of those buses are for NJT that takes us up to 19066.

27 VINs confirmed so far for 2019 D4500CT's. Good pictures with readable license plates are helpful to ID'ing these buses....
