553 Bridgeton

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

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.

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.

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.

17074, 17092, 17093 as far as I know.

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.

Howell 71s have been rare in recent weeks, although 1 or 2 run a day. Mostly the cngs run in their place now.

Washington Twp. Pushing them through training. Also an update, the mentioned buses above OOS have been removed twp roster.

Accident hold buses. Only confirmed scrap is 16003.

I got a picture of this set at 88th. Was this the one on the flats?

Construction has Broadway closed at Federal Street and at Cooper Street.

Rushed training and pushing them through even if they don’t fully understand the concept of driving a bus. The training at Washington Twp specifically has went to s**t.

Ad 18008 to the list of crashed buses at Washington Twp. EHT again has to pay the price and give up another bus.

Accidents. And if things can’t get any more bad, now Washington Twp is to get 4 more of our 17s . The only thing I can see now is that EHT will be getting some of those 21000s that was taken back.

Yes. They already do that now when they and Oradell/Westwood get trips.

18004, 18014, 18016, 18030, 18037, 18058, 16003. As im currently hearing none of those buses will return and will be a write off. Twe gave them 18064-18068 and they had 19136/19143 to cover those buses. They complained we was getting too many buses, so they send newton Av back those 2 19000s, and took 17063/17069-17075. 13 buses from eht to replace 6 buses, make that make sense. Now we are short buses again. Only 10 decamp buses was available last night at 930pm rest are on hold until 10am to see if they can run to avoid depot delays. Washington Twp is not a 24hr garage. On Saturday/Sundays 80% of their buses sit. We help out with Washington Twp because the lack of manpower there, us helping with the 551/554 has nothing to do with the bus moves.

17069-17075 are now assigned to Washington Twp to replace the 5 accident buses. Didn’t see this coming.

That bus is at Washington Twp getting decals. It was sent to EHT with no decals then EHT brought to Washington Twp for the decals and registers. Washington Twp is the baby CMF of the south.

Look what they tell us “let em ride”. All the free rides especially on the 319 adds up. This is only one bus assuming all 55 ppl paid $42 round trip. $55x$42=$2,310. Say you let 10ppl ride free because they use the same lame duck excuse; that is $420 in free rides. 319 runs 7 days a week, you start adding all that and you get a nice number in fare recovery by 12 months. Exact fare lines all run in the red because of the passengers throwing anything in there and you hitting the A key. Hell the 48 runs 27% in the red everyday. The 166 is a heavy line and runs 21% in the red. Why is the 166 red? Most of the people out of PABT never buy the correct ticket and magically need to go to 46 or Leonia.

Hell the decamp 17s are hit and miss with scanners and if they do have them they don’t work lol. I stopped writing on the defect card about non working scanners; they don’t fix them anyway.

They won’t do that. If anything garages that never had spares will finally get spares. Newton Av is the only garage that has too many buses, but it allows them keep their miles low. Egg Harbor needs at least 15 spares, Howell had to give 5 buses to Westwood or Oradell, Washington Twp needs 15-20 spares. So I can see 21198-21276 being thrown to various garages.

That bus broke down and eht fixed it and now running it to hell and back. And it’s Egg Harbor doing that 554 with 21129.

No route has the boundary at Bridge Plaza. Anything from Philly to WRTC is 1.95, if you are going past WRTC, it’s 3.05. The expresses have to change the zone by default once leaving Bridge Plaza because they don’t service WRTC; the 408X stops at WRTC is stupid, it kills the time saving on that trip. North Camden people don’t have that option of 1.95 unless they was to get off and get back on and pay again. All of Camden is zone 2 except for WRTC when going to/from Philly. Buses that start/end at WRTC remain zone 2 1.60 for all of Camden. A lot of people in Camden will take the bus to WRTC then get on PATCO. They don’t realize they are paying more to do that, but to them it sounds cheaper. 3.40 with patco; 3.05 if you stay on njt. Brooklawn Express Zone 1-3, 4.25 Gloucester Express Zone 1-3, 4.25 If you want to get off at Bridge Plaza coming from zone 3-2 it’s 2.25. This is for the Brooklawn and Gloucester Expresses 402,408,410,412. WRTC to Philly 1.95(anything in between) Philly to WRTC 1.95(anything in between) Philly to Camden 3.05(anything past wrtc) Camden to Philly 3.05(anything past wrtc) These people know to specify Camden or WRTC for the correct fare.

Go for it, it’s not going to hurt. South Jersey njt is pretty simple and straight forward. A lot of big paying jobs. Same with njt mercer, straight forward work. South Jersey we don’t have to deal with tons of legs like north Jersey.

18000s from Egg Harbor being swapped out for the decamp 17000s. If you saw any low numbered 18000s those are from Washington Twp and need body work. Egg Harbors 18000s are currently at Wayne, Meadowlands, and Oradell.
