  1. Nabi bus 6108 is CUSA- Community. My guess is good as yours as to why that particular bus belongs to CUSA instead of Saddle River Trails of the Bergen County routes
  2. That's a good question. To add my two cents, maybe the drivers want a Nabi Bus or they were assigned to drive those buses on a weekend, who knows
  3. Agreed. Stuck in the times and is now playing catchup somewhat. That's what happens when you have leaders that are comfortable and stagnant on an out of date fare structure. Plus not hearing ideas from sround the table from its riders(customers) and drivers.
  4. They need to get rid of some of those sluggish beat up MCIs they have, especially the restroom buses. I've rode 7798 on the 171 line a couple months ago and my goodness that bus suck arse. I told the driver Fairview gave him a shitty bus. His MCI from Market Street broke down hence the loaner. It's good Wayne is transfering some of there good 40 footers to Fairview. Hell, they ought to send some 45 footers as well and train the drivers of handling the extra 5 feet, unless some just get it right away
  5. Coach 19154 is on the 190 right now. It is seen on MyBus. I guess it's safe to say Wayne is getting a second round of 19000s
  6. Market Street I don't think so. They haven't been trained as far as I know. I don't know if Wayne still has coach 17185. At least that bus should travel to Market ST so the drivers and mechanics can get hands on those new amenities and such. Some drivers of Market already got first hand look of those new cruisers just by Wayne's 190 and 161/151 routes start in Paterson -Broadway Terminal. Also, can 45 or more 45 footers fit in that small lot of Market? Perhaps Meadowlands, but this coach was spotted Saturday morning. I don't know if Meadowlands has any Saturday trippers on the regular 190 route. I'm keeping my eyes to MyBus and also out my window
  7. Gonna miss coach 8292 when they decide to replace it with the newer cruisers. That cruiser has nice deep bass of a Jake brake
  8. Hey guys, Just spotted coach 19152 on the 190 route to New York this morning in Paterson just now. I guess this bus belongs to Wayne
  9. 2 different distinctive sounds from both engines the moment it revs up. Rode 19119 yesterday on the 190. Good takeoff power
  10. The 126 was using Neoplans a long time ago due to super storm "Sandy" and NJT's dumbness for leaving some of its trains in low lying flood areas which messed up the equipment badly. That's when NJT diverted some Neoplans to the 126 line to help with the Hoboken Train station crushes along with buses they borrowed from Septa and I think Dart (Delaware). Anybody please correct me if I'm wrong. Also the option order of the XD60s may see service time on the bus lines 126 and possibly 107 in the future. Route 126 is a given. Them Nabis can barely handle those crush loads of riders. 126 during rush hour is crrrazy!
  11. Hey Dave and everyone, This morning during the rush I saw coach 19119 on the 190X New York Exp. Wayne garage is already at 52 new coaches thus far.
  12. That's when the politicians like the major of Jersey City and Council comes in. People should complain and let there voice heard. That happened with the 10 line I think
  13. From Greenville Garage and it's the strangest thing. None of the current routes serve Newport Mall. The closest route to Newport Mall they have is the 126 Jersey City - Hamilton Park during rush hour. The only NJ TRANSIT route I can think of that goes into Newport Mall is route 86, but that's from Meadowlands Garage and it serves Union City. AC Bus Corp has its Montgomery & Westside Route to Newport Mall. Other than that, the Hudson-Bergen Lightrail gets the bulk of the ridership to the mall. It's going suck really bad now because the light rail stations: Westside Ave, MLK Drive and Garfield will be close for year because of pipelines underneath the rails need replacement. Who's going to do bus shuttle service is up in the air. Rush hour will be a drag, need to have service up until 2am. I know Mountgomery & Westside route will be slammed crush loads to the Mall while the 80 and 87 perhaps as well if people want to take Path from Journal Sq. to the mall or 80 to Exchange Place. Those extra buses from the 4 line would come in handy to help the M&W route
  14. Wayne has it. Saw it lastnight on the 190E in downtown Paterson deading home to the garage. Which means Wayne should have at least 50 of the 2019 cruisers.
  15. I've ridden coach 19010 on the 190 route a couple of days ago. Today, coach 19114 is operating on route 190. I saw it personally
  16. I wish Market St can get some of those. Sick of their dirty well worn Nabi suburbans. If only you guys see how Market St treats the exterior of those buses purposely and the interior on some. Anyhow, Oradell's MCIs are in bad shape yet still kicking aspalt. They desperately could use those 45 footers at their base on their busy routes to handle capacity issues, but due to the Garages limit space capacity and tight turns it may not be feesible
  17. By the way, the source of that is on their website and possibly flyers on the buses
  18. AC Bus Corp./M&W is going to end their route 4 Merrit Street bus service this March due to low ridership. Which means they can put those extra Nabis on routes like, "Society Hill - Journal Sq" and " Bergen Ave". Top two heaviest used routes out of soon to be four
  19. Interesting of seeing Market Street's Nabi 6261 in Jersey City on route 80 this afternoon during the rush. Seen it on MyBus.
  20. Buses 7720 and 7745 are sitting there outside of Market St garage with the rest of the cruisers and Nabis for a couple of days. I don't know if those buses are loaners or replacements of Market's broke down MCIs or Nabis that were serving the Bergen Cty routes.
  21. That 119 is atrocious. Should have MCIs on that line or perhaps artics. Back in the day when i rode that line, formerly 99S with Metro Bs, Ds and NovaBus RTSs. The buses were packed like sardines during the peak periods, late nights and even past midnight. Heck even the old MCI 9Bs I was on had full loads.
