  1. This is a biggest issue, a lot of people’s card get blacklisted, but I think that’s a bank issue thinking it’s a fraud purchase. They need to ditch the paper passes and tickets this would have stopped all that nonsense. They need to get on board with fare cards.
  2. This is njt for you. I actually liked it because it sped up my trips. Njt is a joke and refuses change to the dated fare system. We should be in a one log in system instead of this rdm mess.
  3. No this one is closer to fort dix. I actually drove past the one in Sicklerville and didn’t see anything there.
  4. No buses are coming from Wayne. Twp got 18064-18067, 17063,17069-17075, 17103, 17109 from Egg Harbor, and now we are short buses with no replacements. Over 10 decamps at eht are out of service by DOT. Not to mention twp still has 19136/19143 from newton. Also twp didn’t get the 316 last year.
  5. Welp NJT axed the changing of the fare system and the scanners in the buses. Due to increased dwell times. Ultimately the system will be turned off and the scanners will be useless. The dwell times was created because that scanner required the red dot to be perfectly on the QR. For this system to have worked, paper tickets and passes had to be discontinued and replaced with a fare card that could hold your mpass and tickets and you tap without waiting on the red dot 🔴. NJT also refused to change the fare register. Septa has the same readers for use with their fare card and tap pay system. Also the addition of having the option to add your pass to your Apple or Android wallet. There is an internal memo in all garages about the system being suspended. The front office of NJT needs to be put out of service and they need to clean how with ones who want change. We should not be carrying cash in 2024. NJT fails again.
  6. Update with Six Flags. Academy will not be taking over. It’s some private company that you have to have a reservation for.
  7. Njt gets the fine. The lack of parts and Formans approving buses to go out that shouldn’t be on the road. The parts issue hasn’t really recovered since covid. It’s only going to get worse, but all the Nabis need a part that’s only built in Europe; right now they are at a 190 day time frame.
  8. Same thing happened at egg harbor. Njt maintenance is going down bad.
  9. Most of the 308s that Howell had was paired with actual full runs. Most jobs back to nyc did either 137/139/319, Or Newark for the 67.
  10. Contractual, the contract was written as such that NJT is to use the employee entrance to speed up the process so they can get buses back to where they need to be. Six Flags broke the contract.
  11. I just love the speculation. And you heard it form the source. Six Flags was cut because Six Flags wanted njt to come in the car entrance. Now imagine the amount of traffic the buses have to sit in when they can just continue to go in the back and leave. We need our buses back out for other trips not sitting in an entrance with cars. Six Flags said no, and njt said ok bye. If it’s not broke don’t fix it.
  12. 4210 is there as well all black Erie & Lackawanna. It’s a transfer; had 4 comets, 2 cab and 2 non cabs. The multilevel 7510 is a non cab car hooked with one comet cab car.
  13. 6 flags is 17 zones, however you can’t buy a zone 17 tix; you have to pay the special fare tix for the 308.
  14. They are very picky on who they pick. I won’t elaborate publicly but if you want to pm me I will gladly tell you.
  15. I’m well established in Nj Transit, making top pay and I’m having second thoughts but my ultimate goal is to make it to train operator. Sometimes you have to make a step back in life to go forwards
  16. I keep saying this, fairview needs to be an all exact fare lines. The dwell times are just too much with the mcis and full service on the Nabis/Artics. I could never be an operator at Fairview, it just looks too stressful and Bergenline would make me quit.
  17. I don’t think so, we have to be established on a list according to scores. It’s seems it’s more-so of when you filed for the exam. I filed for the exam on day 1.
  18. Anyone get an email about the conductor test on April 20th? I got mine in the email and it also said the letters will be mailed out and received by next week.
  19. 17081, 17103, 17109 arrived at Washington twp last night. Probably will end up staying there as Washington Twp requested 8 of the 17s from decamp currently they have 5, 17071-17075. They made the request because they said egg harbor was getting too many buses.
