21013 is at ADD and I think it's being inspected as we speak.

you mean 20871, 20873, 20874?

Yes. Those MCI's haven't even been built yet.

21071 and 21073-21074 inspected.

21029, 21032 and 21034 inspected within the last hour.

20862 and 20863 have been sent to Fairview to begin revenue service.

Yesterday was an off day as there were no bus inspections, and I believe MCI and New Flyer had the day off too. More 2021 cruisers at ADD. 21034 is tracking there. None of the six inspected buses have gone into service yet.

Update: Ex-Saddle River Tours 18118 is ready for service out of Meadowlands garage. It's been inspected and registered (OYB6753).

NJT still hasn't decided what to do with 17063-17070. I can understand wanting to get the two restroom units ready to go, however, as they're probably itching to get rid of those 7100 series buses. NJT does have 30 more restroom buses coming as per the contract specs.

I had heard that Coach had none of the 20000's in service, and that some of them (the Rockland batch) weren't even registered yet. This is because drivers are assigned individual buses. 

21003-21006, 21011 and 21030 inspected.

21003 is tracking at ADD, so I'm guessing it's being worked on or inspected.

That means only Fairview got Neoplans now?

Pretty much, only garage that's still running them.

That's what I was thinking... idk why that person mentioned the 4000s...

"That person" was stating what buses were still to be replaced, but that is going to be years down the road. The next big project is going to be replacing the transit buses

21002 allegedly there too. will keep everyone posted on inspections. I have a bunch of possible VINs for those so I'll run them through the VIR tomorrow and see what registers.

VINs have now been confirmed for the first 85 buses of the order, through 20885. I am thinking that the 25 option buses might be 2021 models.

21002 and 21004 delivered.

No more Neoplans at Big Tree.

20865-20868 have been inspected. Through 20854 now in service.

Here's what has tracked so far: 21001-21004, 21006, 21010-21011, 21030, 21032 (tracking incorrectly as 20132), 21040-21041, 21047, 21049-21052 and 21057.  Nothing has been delivered yet. 21001 made it up to Winnipeg.

NJT still maintains that this order is for 1104 coaches, and it appears that the last 33 buses will be delivered in the 2022 model year, by 2Q of that calendar year. NJT will still have hundreds of older cruisers - the 7100's, the 9000's, the 4000's and the 72-7300's. It's too early to tell if ridership will warrant the replacement of those buses.

They have run on there. Meadowlands has runs on each of Fairview's lines except the 154. 

That's a Meadowlands bus. Fairview only has 20810. Their portion of the order will arrive after Meadowlands gets their 25 buses.

Not any more. 20850-20852 just rolled into Fairview and they may also still have 20822. Right now the priority seems to be to get those remaining old Neoplans out of Fairview.

I didn't realize we left you hanging. The VIN of the Trans-Bridge demo was 2MGZDMBAXJW068717. Thus, a 2018 bus. Despite the cert lettering Trans-Bridge does not (and never did) own this bus. It is still a MCI Demo.

20861 and 20862 were inspected today at Netcong.

Latest update is that 20859 and 20860 have been inspected and will be Fairview buses.

Got it in exchange for 5201.

Facebook NJT group members reporting first trackings of 21001 and 21004, presumably in Pembina.

20170 inspected. As of 9:46 this morning all buses from 20001-20183 have been inspected. 20170 and 20176 should be on their way to Coach USA New Brunswick soon.
