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.

20176 inspected this morning, leaving 20170 the sole bus of this year's class to not be inspected yet.

18119 now in revenue service for NJT. Tracking on the 166. The bus is the first of 10 ex Saddle River buses reclaimed by NJT to return to service.

20855 and 20857 inspected. Both buses, and probably those inspected yesterday, will be Big Tree buses. 20839 in service.

The last two buses to be inspected from the 2020 order, 20170 and 20176, are at ADD in Piscataway awaiting motor vehicle inspection.

20853 and 20854 inspected today.

VINs confirmed now on more 2021 D4500CT's which, if they're all for NJT, would take us through Bus 21069.

VINs now confirmed in Carfax through bus 20877.

Some 20000 series Academy buses went into service today. 20128 and 20135 among those spotted.

Update to the 20000's - 20170 is tracking at the factory. This is a Suburban Trails unit. Also none of the new Academy buses have gone into service yet. As I understand it they are still awaiting registration.

No. I was referencing MCI's unit numbers which just rolled over to 16000. These are the last five digits of the VIN as noted above. The buses' fleet numbers will be from 21001 and up. The buses which have been verified so far are: 1M8PDMNA4MP016020 through 1M8PDMBA9MP016028 then 1M8PDMNA7MP016030 through 1M8PDMNA1MP016055 35 buses so far. This is just a VIN provision; I don't think all these buses have been built yet.

All buses through 20850 are now inspected. 20832-20834 now at Big Tree awaiting revenue service. EDIT: 20833 and 20834 in revenue now, both running the 13V.

20843 passed inspection, and 20849 was inspected today too. 20822 has now gone to Fairview as a training bus, as 20810 seems to be out longterm for repairs.

Confirmed 12 more 2021 vins. With the exception of 16029, we have units 16020-16055 on the books which are possibly the first 25 buses for NJT.

20843 failed inspection - a high beam headlight was not working. Should be fixed and on the way to CMF soon.

The first 25 buses were the option order, and the remaining buses will be part of the original 85. I don't know why they worked it that way. Anyhow, most of the buses through 20848 have now been inspected. All those newly inspected buses are heading to Big Tree so they will have 24 buses at least. I imagine Big Tree will be moving some of the lower-mileage Neoplans up to Fairview, or junking them. I'm told that through 20865 has been built, and they're still cranking out 2020 models for now.

The final three buses - 20180-20182 - have been inspected. Now to start looking for the 2021 buses....

20831 active - running on the 13V

20183 inspected

All of the 2020 buses have been inspected except 20170, 20176 and 20180-20183, all of which are going to be for Suburban Transit. 20180 had been tracking in Pembina. Meanwhile 20161 and 20162 were tracking at the garage in Westwood so they might be ready to go. Academy's new buses still haven't been registered.

Rockland has 20149-20168. 20 buses.

5201 apparently retired from Washington Twp & is being donated to a South Jersey hospital as a mobile grocery store.

Suburban is bringing the order home to 20183.

I found a bunch of active 2021 VINs for D4500CT's and they might be the first NJT buses in the 2021 series. Go to this page to see them https://cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Motor_Coach_Industries_D4500CT_'M_VINs'

20174-20175 and 20177 inspected and assigned to Suburban Trails. At this point, I would assume the rest of the order is going to Suburban. I am still not sure where 20169-20170 went.
