As of this morning Oradell's buses are still on site. Nothing's been moved to GSP yet.
They're at the mall now. 21315 is on the 163 as of now

Looks like Oradell is gonna make a return back to Garden State Plaza to stage their cruisers. Around 9:30p today both Flxible Metro D buses are sitting alone in the parking lot. Cones were setup just like before, closing off large sections of the parking lot for the cruisers to be staged.
I told myself that when we had that so-called northeastern thunderstorm that Oradell should think about moving their buses back to GS Plaza. Well, I don't know what's the reason this time around for them to come back. I think the buses will be moved overnight or tomorrow

Well it appears that Wayne Garage is helping Market Street with some local route trips. Saw an MCI this early morning downtown Paterson doing route 72. I thought either the headsign malfunctioned or the driver just decided to have it on display. Until I saw some people on board...a good amount, then I was like hmm.
This evening during rush hour, again in Paterson saw Wayne's MCI helping Market Street. This time it was working on route 74. What the hell is going on with Market Street? I mean this isn't shocking news that a MCI has worked local intra state routes

IMO, they look better with with rears
Who ever gets them better wash those backs good like CUSA. Some of Oradell's 21100s are already dirt black like an old D4000.

And possibly getting some of the 21300's. One inspection report from that group of buses said Howell, but I'm not sure about that now.
It's been a long minute of those 21300s. Haven't seen them on the streets yet

This is interesting. I wonder how you guys at NJ Transit and riders feel about NJT overall being on that list

Academy most likely will be left with the bare minimum. It goes deeper then what you guys see. There are major issues with the route 9 services.
It’s time njt stop letting these private carriers tell them how they want the buses. We giving you buses so you take what we give you not how you want. Every last one of the private carriers should have had stainless steel sides.
If route 9 is lost, you could possibly see the 134 line comeback.
Academy does not care about the transit lines. They are solely for the charter work especially with the sport teams.
Transit should be looking ahead to buy up some land in Central New Jersey to build a state of the art garage/depot if Academy either leaves the commuter/transit business or NJT cuts ties with Academy completely. Howell seems maxed out of 200 or so buses

They should have never axed the 134 line to begin with. A viable option for those rte 9 customers on NJT

Hmmm, it's why they some if Meadowlands 7100s, some 9000s from both Fairview and possibly Meadowlands and maybe some additional 21000s from the Meads 🤔

Most of the cruiser buses are now staged outside of Garden State Plaza. Both Flxible Metro Ds are there along with forklifts, maintenance equipment, tow trucks and some former Wayne 9000 series coaches from Fairview helping with runs. Some MCIs are being pushed around by another MCI at the mall and some are being towed from Oradell to either the mall or elsewhere via I believe is Meadowlands wrecker. Saw it towing a Oradell cruiser outside Bergen Town

Well now it seems buses have been going back and forth, those 19000s went back to Wayne so now 20014 is tracking at Newton Avenue garage. 18127 and 18128 were also returned to Newton Avenue. I think 17185 and 19177 went back to Wayne too, Washington Twp got 18002 back only. The crazy part of all of this is none of Wayne buses have been in service on any of the South Jersey routes, which is bad because all three SJ garages are running short with MCIs now. Also noticed 21138 out of Egg Harbor Twp these past few days, most likely a summer loan.
17185 is back in Wayne. Saw it this evening on route 190X in Paterson

Welcome back to Wayne 17185. It's been a long minute. How did they treat you in South Jersey? Saw the bus on route 190X in Paterson this evening rush hour.
