  1. 17074, 17075,17076 ,17077,17078, 17081, 17083, 17084, 17087, 17092, 17093, 17103, 17109, 17110 Current ex decamp buses still at cmf and mci for extensive maintenance pertaining to rusted engine parts, and other rust damage as well. 17071, 17080 are supposed to be at cmf but Ironbound using until they can’t get those 2 in the shop. 17084 same thing but needs to go to mci to get the shocks replaced by warranty. However Ironbound is still using. They have more then enough 20s and 21s as well as 4000s to meet service.
  2. 500 of them are to get rehabbed and the rest replaced by new flyers more then likely. 5201(donated)is already gone, but it seems 5202-5699 will be goners, and getting those Nabis back from the privates started that early,
  3. 17071/17080 moved to Ironbound, apparently they are short buses. But that resulted in egg harbor putting Nabis out on mci lines again today. We was supposed to have all 50 of the decamps and now know one knows what’s going on. We down a lot of buses with the decamps needing more work then thought. Doesn’t affect my pay so idc 🤷🏾‍♂️. 17084 looks as if it’s never coming.
  4. 18124 was sent to CMF, assuming it will go to Oradell as the few 18120 series are there already.
  5. They stopped meadowlands from going down to Wildwood back in 2020. They used to do the and 830am trip to Cape May then dhd back to AC and pull the 5pm to NYC. Then on sat/sun they did Wildwood Exp or Ocean City Exp, and Cape May Exp to NYC local to north wildwood. By 2020 they only had a Sunday trip that left the garage at 1045am and did the 115 cape may express to nyc. Then discontinued. It’s a nice ride, all your doing is going in and out of the islands via the parkway. Only island you served fully was Ocean City/Avalon/Stone Harbor. Summer its busy and fall/winter it’s dead and boring. Register you would setup 1-37 or 39 if going to cape may. 31 Atlantic City 32 Ocean City 33 Dead Zone 34 Ocean View/Sea Isle 35 Avalon 36 Stone Harbor 37 Wildwood 38 Lower Twp 39 Cape May
  6. This is a real silly question, a route not serving Philly does not dictate that it shouldn’t have a low 400 series number. This lines used to service Philly before the cuts to Camden. No need to change the numbers.
  7. That bus been at eht for 3 days now and it was an egg harbor driver not Howell.
  8. Funny enough Howell honestly has no say, it all comes down to Penn Plaza, if they say those lines are to go there then they will. And it make sense being Howell is so close and it give those guys more work especially on weekends. Right now Hamilton Garage is operating the lines.
  9. 18078 is currently tracking on a Oradell 166 (166OD003 Block#). 18078 at Wayne could have very well been there for a break down.
  10. When that contract is up those lines will return back to njt. The union city garage should be open by that time.
  11. No, basically just do the nabi search and look in the general areas the lines operate and you’ll see which Nabis are on those lines.
  12. Njt always orders bus with a low spare factor. Most garages don’t have a spare factor. Njt banks on the garages maintenance can get buses turned around quickly. Howell is the only garage with more then 100 or more buses available for spares(on weekends) as they only need about 62 available on weekends. They also bank on callouts which frees up buses as well. CMF can do an engine swap in 2-3days(3-4ppl)while Washington Twp takes 80hrs(1 person). So Twp now has to send any engine swaps to cmf.
  13. Those south Jersey Nabis are only temporary. Academy is only helping out until njt gets enough man power hired. A lot of the one bus guys have to leagally go through the hiring process and must complete the 21 day training. Unfortunately most of the A&C were njt ops that was fired.
  14. Well Egg Harbor is losing the 18000s because we are getting the decamp 17000s. Ironbound has 18090/18122.
  15. 17071-17073, 17079-17080, 17082, 17085-17086, 17088-17091, 17094, 17096-17097, 17099-17100-17102, 17105-17108, 17111-17113, 17115-17120 Currently at egg harbor
  16. There’s 6 new 17s at eht. I didn’t get the numbers of the ones in the lane, but 17106 is one of them.
  17. Not for long, that bus is getting retired. You guys are getting all of the coach USA 21s to push the remaining 71s/9000s into retirement.
