  1. So in total 5759, 6473, 6474, and 6477 were returned to NJ Transit? They might as well throw in 5760 tbh.
  2. Yikes they scrapped 5700? I thought it could be repaired 😬

  4. Exactly it looks so bland. If they added some stripes something similar to those Nova buses it would probably not look as bad.
  5. Wish NJ Transit can change the scheme a bit. The livery doesn't really look good on low floor buses in my opinion. Something similar to WMATA's 4th generation livery only looking good on low floor buses. NJ Transit's current livery looks better on high floor buses tbh. At least add a stripe or something.
  6. Yeah I can tell Transdev in NJ are better than down here. WMATAs situation is that the workers are on strike over higher pay, restroom breaks, and working conditions. Since WMATA contracted Cinder Bed garage to Transdev, it just been nothing but a mess. The New Flyer DE40LFAs keep breaking down, employees can't use the bathroom, higher pay, etc. So basically 15/18 routes in Cinder Bed aren't running still with the 3 other routes operating on weekend service. Also Fairfax Connector might go on strike against Transdev too. Basically if that strike happens too, Virginia bus routes will be crippled badly. In my opinion, WMATA should take the rights back from Transdev and operate on its own and add newer buses as these DE40LFAs never experienced frequent breakdowns prior to Cinder Bed. Fairfax Connector should do the same tbh. Here some links of the ongoing problems: https://wamu.org/story/19/11/06/bus-drivers-rally-amid-strike-to-end-privatization-of-metro-jobs/ https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2019/11/11/tran-n11.html
  7. I’m wondering if Transdev Employees for those routes are experiencing something similar to what’s happening in Northern Virginia with Cinder Bed for WMATA as it’s contracted to Transdev too that’s why.
  8. How is Transdev doing for buses in New Jersey? I'm just wondering because Transdev is currently in deep trouble in Northern Virginia by WMATA Cinder Bed garage due to a strike currently going on. Also Fairfax Connector might get in the mix and form a strike too. I'm just wondering how Transdev in NJ is going on.
  9. Also how is Transdev doing with NJ Transit? Because back down in Northern Virginia workers are on strike against Transdev from WMATA Cinder Bed garage affecting some routes and Fairfax Connector might enter a strike against Transdev I heard on the news.
  10. Yikes I didn't know that. Thought 5757 was retired from fire damage and 5919 from a failed inspection. Guessing 5757 is long gone.
  11. Oh, still wondering about 5952, 5998, and 6391 as they're still on wiki and probably cptdb. Where is the ferry street shops located? Just wanna see even though it might not be possible.
  12. Also does anybody know if the following NABIs have returned to service from accidents: 5612, 5784, , 5952, 5998, 6072, 6101, 6348, and 6391
  13. Along Communipaw and Pacific Avenue as ik. Idk what other parts or routes is covering for the old route 4.
  14. This explains why I haven’t seen 5757 run in years and 5759 run recently. I may’ve rode 6473 in June but don’t remember really. In my opinion A&B Bus Corp could’ve give back 5760 and 5920-5923 as well but it would probably lead to a bus shortage for A&C. Also I never seen 5919 at all whenever I’m in NJ hearing it got retired due to a failed inspection. I wonder where both 5757 and 5919 are currently located.
  15. Yeah 5638 is being run by Academey and now 5637 is back with NJ Transit so its most likely they're being returned since Elizabeth already got 6499-6550.
  16. I'm not sure where to put this under any discussion forum, but has there ever been a NABI 416.15 running on some long distance Routes like the 319 or other long NJ transit routes? I just see a NABI on the 319 on CPTDB and I'm just wondering if something like that ever happened.
  17. I'm wondering how 1606 got on the scrapped list form when I heard its still active. Idk somebody just put that 1606 was still active on WIkipedia.
