Maybe the electric D45CRT or standard floor new look MCI cruiser electrics are in line to replace the 7100s and 9000s in the future🤷🏾‍♂️. Remember Wayne is up after Camden and Newark to have their facility retrofitted with some charging stations

Seems like NJT don't care about the south as much as they do up here on the north. Finding ways I guess to make riders unhappy and ruin ridership. Literally bringing those buses up north because let's be honest, it's easy money to them. It's no wonder that some political figures and groups want to break apart from NJ Transit and have the south it's own entity because of the poor structure and attention it's not getting

My guy this early rush afternoon driving Wayne's 19101 on route 171 to Paterson as I write this👊🏾🚍

So it appears that Oradell might be getting some if not the remaining 22000s, correct me if I'm wrong. I saw Coach 22078 laying over at IKEA-PARAMUS at the time of writing this. I'm sure it's Oradell's new toy now

"The contracts were to run Hudson County Local bus Routes 2, 84, 88 and North Hudson local bus routes 22, 23, 86 and 89, said Nancy Snyder, an NJ Transit spokeswoman. They take effect on June 26." There's your answer brotha.

Correction: Design and modernization of Hilton Bus garage.

I know what you mean bro. Question marks were flying above my head when I read the article. I had to reread just to be sure of what it was saying . It sure looks like routes 84, 86 and 89 from Meadowlands are gonna be swap for routes 10 & 119 currently run under contract by Coach USA. I'm like really?! I guess transit can swap their own routes for carriers to run🤔

MCIs most definitely. I remember riding the MC-9Bs on the 99S a long long time ago. Those we're fun times

I smell artics on some trips for the 119 as they need them badly.

Well..well..well https://www.nj.com/news/2022/03/after-settling-fraud-case-nj-transit-denies-48m-contracts-with-academy-bus.html

Riding Wayne's 19177 on the 74U to Newark at the time of riding this

Laughable ain't it?! When I read the article on NJ.com earlier today I couldn't believe it smh. They really let the owner of Academy got off. It's like NJT is laying in the same bed with Academy because they're in the wrong as well. At least the drivers now have a shorter trip to Journal Sq, Hoboken Terminal, 91st & Bergenline Ave and others from Hoboken depot than the Elizabeth garage when it comes to starting trips and dead heading back.

Route 190 is another. Market Street doesn't have the room for 40 or so additional cruisers for those two lines alone. Plus those lines run 45 footers. Market St maintenance bay doesn't allow 45 foot buses on it, but that's changing now as the garage is being refurbish and possibly expanded... correct me if I'm wrong about the additional space. Wayne's cruisers, which all are 45' have been popping up on occasion there

Someone up in headquarters thought it's a great idea to add MCIs to Fairview. Oh yeah, let's throw them on JFK Blvd, Bergenline Ave (worse to have them on), River Rd and Palisades. I agree that them lines should be farebox and ticket readers. Rider flow in and out should be sped up just so the drivers can stay on schedule. Agree that the express lines of the 156R and 159R should be MCI instead of the local lines. I guess they think that side of Hudson county & Bergen County deserves cruisers too. Blvd East is just a different animal

I hope it ain't true. The hell's wrong with NJT? It's like they can't handle their own bus operations🙄

You ain't lying bro

Nice to see a bus operator driving Wayne's 19093 MCI cruiser on route 171 today. Riders on that line had to feel themselves when being on that bus, especially at GS Plaza, Fairlawn and along Broadway in Paterson.😯 Market Street's Nabi suburban trash needs to go immediately 🤮

2nd Street Station🚉

Yes it's very surprising. They're at a lot near Hudson-Bergen Light rail 2nd Street station. I've posted a video on Facebook of the buses on a Bus & Train Enthusiast group if you care to see them✌🏾

Maybe you guys already know about it, but today I've spotted over 20 new Nova Bus LFS 40' Hybrid-Electric buses at a lot in Hoboken. None have the designated bus depot decal sticker. Here are the numbers that's sitting in the lot. 9791, 9795, 9696, 9705, 9828, 9882, 9881, 9794, 9682, 9816, 9725, 9681, 9716, 9857, 9708, 9856, 9703 amongst others

As far as certain bus routes and "out of service" buses going on Route 4 instead of just crossing Cedar Lane Bridge I believe has something to do with weight restrictions.

Goodbye 9000s and possibly some 7100s

Don't forget 19104 is a X12 demo as well🤙🏾
