LOL. I was 25 min hot into Toms River everyday on the 319. (Granted the turnpike wasn’t messed up).
Not me, I got sick and tired of people saying I’m driving fast. Now everyone suffer. I purposely would get there at 1030. It was these same group of old ladies that would complain, they paid for that, because once they noticed I was getting there at 1030 they started whining.

Some bus drivers treat the D4500's as if it is a Dodge Challenger... I swear, some bus drivers are wild out there
We drive slow people complain, we drive fast people complain. What i do now is follow 10mph under the posted speed limit and when people are late I instantly say I’ve been complained on for driving fast.
I was on the 319 for years and on my 845pm trip i would literally drive 55mph all the way down the turnpike and parkway to Tom’s River. Coming out of PABT, no faster then 25mph and 35mph coming up the helix then back to 25 until past the toll plaza. Complain, ok I’m driving now; I can slow all the way down. No harm no foul.

when we cut out the brakes on a train, the trip cock does nothing.
So there you have it, no back up safety features in place. Apparently they was controlling from the 3rd car. My guess mgt wanted this train back in the yard asap putting pressure on the crew. My friend is a op on the 2 line and I know the kind of pressure that exists to get things done. She had a lite train from 241-flat, upon entering 96 they pushed her on the local but then yelling at her(over the radio)for stopping in stations, but with a train right in front wtf can you do.
The culture within MTA mgt needs to be cleaned up.
One thing for sure my money has them putting front facing outward cameras on all train soon rather then later.

Not particular to that corridor, but as soon as I read that post/update, that general sentiment was the first thing I said to myself.... Those scanners are the least bit reliable.... Dwell times'll go through the roof.
It doesn’t help when someone pays with a debit card we still have to put in the zones, and if they tap the card before we ask we have to cancel out the fare and start over. When using the mobile app we don’t have to ask as the system knows what zone to put in automatically.
Also if you have a card with not enough funds it will accept the payment and hotlist your card; when used again you’ll see “card denied” and on our screen it says “card hotlist”.

Looks like 21265 (ex-Suburban) was repainted into NJT colors but with a twist - it has a black back, but only the center panel. The rest of the rear is white. Looks like it may have been from a retired unit (19137 or 16003 comes to mind) since there's only one vent up by the amber lights when there's usually two.
Black back, white back, and now we have partial black back. Will we eventually see a black back with white center?
Most likely from 19137. Washington Twp has been parting out 16003 in house for their 18s.

and the people who use it for good use have to suffer because of it...
It was handy for me because i would know what bus I would have before I start work. Whatever bus went out on 5/315 would be my bus for 39/315.

Is there a way to look up vehicle numbers on Mybusnow. PTV results are super limited for some reason
Nj transit limited what you can see with the most recent update due to safety concerns brought up by drivers on the Hilton Lines. Foamers, the way they act out went to far and the driver got wiff of the tracking site and brought it to the unions attention. It became a problem when the XE40 went there.
All it takes is one to ruin it all. What you see on the tracking site is the end result. Hopefully it came come back fully.

What is up with these 17xxx series MCI coaches I’m seeing running in Market East Philly?
Egg Harbor does the 313/315 and helps out with the 551.

I was on a former coach usa bus (6026) and there’s no ticket/card reader on it… are they on any of the former coach buses? Why would they announce tap to pay if they won’t even have readers on all the buses?
A lot of the decamp buses in egg harbor don’t even have the readers and the ones that do don’t even have work. Njt is a joke and will always be a joke. When someone comes on wanting to pay debit i let them ride free because they were false advertised.

This whole division thing is pointless, especially with control center. I can't tell you how many times I've had issues on the 319 that I let North know, and they don't tell south what's going and I'm getting yelled at from the south control center.
The 2 don’t communicate with each other.

Greenville is a northern division garage, chief. Nothing has changed as to what garage is in what division.
You got really bad information.Unfortunately Greenville was moved to the central division.

It's a Meadowlands unit. Their buses show up sometimes on Wayne routes. Meadowlands does have pieces of the 190.
Meadowlands only go as far as Rutherford; 190R only. They have no parts of the 161.

I've read on another forum that the D4500CRT order was cancelled
The moment they acquired the decamps and ex academy and coach they pretty much fulfilled 129 buses.

18077 has been at Wayne since the summer. As for the 21000, I think Wayne has been borrowing Meadowlands units for a while. I remember seeing 21073 a month ago and 18098 was at Wayne for a day or two before heading back.
A lot of these buses end up all over the place due to breakdowns. Especially the PABT lines. Whatever is available will be used.
21029 was a Howell Bus.
When Howell breaks down above exit 14 meadowlands sends a bus if at Weehawken, Galvan, or PABT anything goes.
This is how 22056 ended up at Egg Harbor. Hell I’ve brought back Oradell buses to Egg Harbor.
Any garage can use any bus from another garage until their bus is fixed wherever it’s at.

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.

Surreal to see a NABI get the black paint at Meadowlands
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,
