First it was the 67B, telling the commuters to take the 5:25 AM 319 from Toms River which serves Dorado and Brick P/R, then the rest of 67 cut back to Newark… 64 will still serve Hoboken

Well the 67B carried air, people took the 319 anyways

New timetables will be posted for the following NJ TRANSIT Bus Routes:

Bus Route Nos. 5, 8, 63, 64, 67, 68, 79, 80, 87, 102, 105, 107, 119, 133, 156, 159, 400, 409, 412, 419, 468, 502, 505, 507, 508, 509, 553, 554, 559, 606, 702, 705, 707, 709, 722, 744, 746, 748, 751, 752, 753, 755, 756, 758, 762, 772, 780, 871,872, 873, 874, 875, 878, and 880.
Please note the following service changes:

On the bus routes mentioned above, trip times and service levels have been adjusted to reflect the current travel experience and improve reliability.

No. 64 (weekdays): Bus No. 64 will no longer serve Jersey City. Service levels will be adjusted to better match passenger needs.
No. 68 (weekdays): Service levels will be adjusted to better match passenger needs.
No. 79 (Sundays): Trip times for service to Newark will be adjusted to better match passenger needs.
No. 119 (daily): Bus No. 119 will no longer serve Journal Square Transportation Center from 4:30AM to 11PM. For these times, please use MyBus stop #20818 on JFK Boulevard between Tonnelle Avenue and Bergen Avenue for service to New York or MyBus stop #30232 on JFK Boulevard between Tonnelle Avenue and Bergen Avenue for service to Bayonne.
No. 468 (weekdays and Saturdays): Routing will be adjusted due to a long-term construction project on Hawks Bridge Road.

Damm 64 no longer serves JC… Make’s sense tho since the intra-commuter routes have the worst post-COVID ridership recovery rate

Hearing a rumor that NFI has built five new NJT artics. They're probably going to be delivered to NJT soon.

Also another rumor is that some of the 6500s from Coach USA are supposedly going to Hilton and Orange. 

All of this information are just rumors so take this all with a grain of salt.

Those are probably 5 of the last 60 buses from that 85 option that was ordered in 2019

Another day, another 212xx

It doesn’t make any sense that Fairview is sending all the 06 D4500CLs to Wayne when they are already receiving D4500CTs from various private bus operators.

It’s cuz Fairview is getting 2021 coaches, Fairview is already down to one CL, 9027

Thats no issue...Fairview has enough space...They started giving fairview 45 fts early last year to train the drivers on how to deal with 45 footers...Fairview also gonna be a merge garage in the near future with market st and oradell...Thats also a reason why Market street started to learn Fairviews routes..

So that’s why I’m seeing more and more Market trippers on the 159

The Hudson county routes need more standard and artic buses, send the coaches to a depot that actually needs them.

Fairview makes no dam sense to begin with. It’s a full service depot, everyone is running late because they have to keep making change for a $1.50 fare, and the MCI’s are just the icing on the cake. I wouldn’t mind the MCI’s on the X variations, but on local routes is insanity.

The 159X doesn’t really need MCI’s either, because all it does is run non stop on Blvd East between PABT and 60th Street, goes up 60th Street, turns on Bergenline and runs local till Fairview Garage, where it terminates

Makes more sense to send those back to Wayne than for Fairview to maintain two different fleets of MCIs.

I still don't understand why Fairview has MCIs, those things are horrible on all of their lines.

I have wondered the same thing about my local depot, must be because of the 321 and 153T

21277, 21278, 21279, 21280, 21281, 21296, 21297 all are at Fairview apparently

Can confirm, saw 21280 on the 159X rn

Are they still doing this now?

Yeah they do these route learning runs every once and a while

After the lawsuit, I highly doubt Academy would get anything at all

Me thinks Academy continues to do these runs just in case they ever get the contract back so the drivers are knowledgeable of the route

So,before it was being retired it was just stored?

What are some other units you like? 

5202, 5244 (the least used unit), and 5281

1 hour ago, go25 said:

Perhaps some foreshadowing, maybe the contract is going back to Academy after all

They’ve been doing these route learning runs ever since they lost the contract, so I doubt it.

Has been for awhile.

yeah but i just read what @DCTransitFilms posted when i typed that, was one of my favorite units

Does anyone know why Academy continues to do route learning runs that shadow NJT route 88, saw one of their Orion VII OG shadowing the 88 earlier this morning, and then months past, I seen their nova buses and their new flyer D40LFs shadowing the 88 as well. So can anyone explain why the Academy continues to do route learning runs on the 88? A route they have it ran since June 2021. 

PS: I’ll post a picture of the OG in the photo thing

Damm 5222 is gone

6467 is getting towed away from the Meadowlands Bone Yard, not sure to where tho (I just saw it)

That is a Camden ( Newton Avenue) bus; rode many times.  I am guessing it is not coming back.  What happened with the former AC and Coach USA buses?  I don't see that the rest of the former AC buses have been placed in service yet. 

The former A&C buses that are currently sitting in the Meadowlands Boneyard are currently awaiting for space to be made in the CMF in order to prep them for NJT service, same goes for the former Coach buses sitting in the Elizabeth Lot (of which 6 have already gone through this process and are already in service with NJT)
