5334 on the 1??? Not sure why severely short Washington Twp is loaning buses to North Jersey, but this bus has been up there since last Tuesday apparently.
As a result of the shortage, there is a domino effect, Washington Twp has to borrow from Newton Avenue to assist with the 400 and 403 while Newton Avenue has been borrowing from Hamilton Twp ( Mercer County). 5509 was on the 413 yesterday and 5539 was down in Camden doing a 453 last week. This week I saw 5578 on the 403 and 5582 and 5585 on the 400.
On the MCI side, it seems like more Newton Avenue busses are down the Shore in Atlantic and Cape May Counties ( 17064, 19128, 19131 and 19150).
Just to clear things up:
5334 is actually 6356. Neither 5334 or 6356 are tracking, so I believe that the tracker's been mixed up or something.1 -

The night from hell that could have been worse: (cue gazoo noise)
I took a ride into Bay Ridge to visit friends I rode a 192 bus deadheading from Wayne garage starting at Clifton to Port Authority then using
(R46 set) and an 
(R160s). Round trip. Late that afternoon I took a ride on the 119 out of Port Authority on the New Flyer Xcelsiors. Which is nice since they had working USB ports and my iPhone was low on battery. Run the full length and get the 10 at Bayonne to go to Jersey City (Suburban NABI). Get off at Journal Square and take the 
to Newark. Next plan is to get the 11 to Willowbrook Mall and make a connection to the 198 to go near my job (where I parked my car). Well, I’m on the wrong side of Newark Penn and miss the 11. Ok no problem, I’ll get the 28. It only goes to Montclair State University? Ok no problem, get the last train to Mount Olive and go to Wayne Transit Center. Pass an Emergency Vehicle setup along Bloomfield Ave (thought nothing of it at the time). Get to MSU and made my way to Montclair Heights. I wait 10 minutes, then 20 minutes, so I put out a bolo on Facebook to see if anyone knows what’s going on (the app has no info at all). Come to find out the emergency vehicles seen earlier served a purpose after all: Fire along the MOBO line at Glen Ridge. NY-MSU train cancelled. My train to Wayne Transit Center is 50 minutes late. Around the corner is the last bus to Newark from MSU (28). Next plan is to catch the 72 to go to Paterson and catch whoever was done for the night going back to Wayne garage. Operator puts me off a full mile (or two) before a spot where I’m supposed to get off. Cue a long walk down Bloomfield Avenue (which included some brisk walks mixed in with all out sprints), but I made it to Broad and Belleville with 3 minutes time to spare. The last 72 bus is operated by a former co worker of mine from Lakeland and so we caught up as we were moving along. Found a 190 going back to Wayne and thus ended a night that could’ve gone badly wrong 🤦♂️
I'm looking at your pfp and the nostalgia hit me immediately. Did Lakeland have flxibles back then? Because iirc Coach USA and NJT had flxibles.

Forgot to mention this earlier today. Back to back days of Fairview's ex-Wayne MCIs on the 175 and 171 respectfully. Saturday coach 9007 was on the 175. Told myself the reason for that is because of Market Street's bus broke down at either Bridge Plaza or at G.W.B. Well today, I saw coach 9016 on the 171. Again, another broke down trash of Market Street or could it be Fairview is moving some of their 9000s to Market Street. Now I know during the weekdays Wayne has help out Market Street Garage with trips on the local lines, such as route 74. I was on a couple of those trips with an MCI. Second, there could be some trippers that Wayne has on the 171 or 175 during the rush
I saw 9016 on the 171 on the tracker. But I got a question tho: Why do I see MCIs appearing on local lines such as the 704B or the 74/72 and such?

7697 is most likely retired because of the following reasons:
1. I have video footage of this unit being driven in Newark found here:https://photos.app.goo.gl/A7Cc4uXgJeMJBp6t7 Taken November 2nd,2021
2. I check the tracker for this bus and followed it on the tracker until it arrived at Ironbound Garage.
3. I check the logs of when this bus last ran and it logged: September 28th,2021.
