  1. So the nabi made a run on the 130 and 64J, and i was doing the 509. 64J 64J 130 New York Express 130 Union Hill P/R
  2. That has to be approved by njt. Even though they pay $1 a year for our buses, anything done to it has to be approved by transit. At any given time transit can take it back. Zf didnt work to well when we had it in 7618(d4000), its not ment for stop and go. Which was why our 31ft nabis have the B400R Allison tranny with jacobs brake.
  3. There was a nabi on the 551 last week. The shortage is from howell taking mcis from twp also. Remember some drivers like the nabis and will ask for one. Thursday night a nabi was on a 408 going to philly. I felt bad for those ppl. The CTHs i just cant see them running the 319, even though thats the plan. For the simple fact of having those 5hr 319s from cape may to ny via the shore towns an ac/toms river. The order is suppose to be split between twp and eht.
  4. I honestly dont think theyll run on the 319. The 551 i can see. I rather it be just plain ol' CTs.
  5. Those are the D4500CTH thats suppose to be spilt between eht and twp.
  6. Because Howell took MCIS from every garage because of the DesignLine issue. The pic was taken on ma 509 run today.
  7. Theres a Nabi on the 139 to Lakewood via Freehold Center. I had to change my run number so it didnt show up in service. 900 run nums are special numbers.
  8. Its all about whats left. If thats whats left then they had to loan it. If a mci is on hold for whatever reason and a nabi is avail. it must go.
  9. If anyone cares lol transit is working on a metrocard type system. The plan is to get rid of exact fare and full service. Only a fare box will be present along with the register so you can issue a xfer and ctt and accept monthly passes and x-ticket n x-xfer
  10. Sure is. All garages take there students there for the road test. But yeah it can fit neos in there.
  11. Theres room in Howell for them. Have you ever been inside the garage?
  12. Howell already has buses from EVERY GARAGE. The 307 doesnt use that many buses. This is really getting outta hand.
  13. Alot of our CLs are down. For whatever reason. We borrowed 7164 from wayne which was suppose to be for the 319 but stuck it on the 553 cause ppl are complaining about the nabis. And 7169 from Meadowlands. Since Howell took 18 of our buses are in a rebellion lol. 30ft nabis on the 502/507/508/509. These routes are sardine cans.
  14. I agree. I understand Howell has there needs but we are struggling to maintain service. You walk in our garage and its always near empty. Causing drivers to be late for runs just to wait for a bus to come in. Everything was good before this designline shit began. Had to cut runs on the 502/553 to free up buses. They fed to lie to the pax about it being due to low ridership, however thats not the case. We been putting 30ft nabis on the 502/507/508/509 just to keep some 40ft nabis free for the 552 short runs n 553 runs.
  15. First of all the 1030 is a meadowlands run out of ACBT and the 1130 is eht outta PABT. And no it wasnt 7185. Get your facts straight before assuming. The 645 is Meadowland also. Both buses were Meadowlands.
  16. Terrible! Blame Howell. They have MCIs from every garage. We have about 10 nabis daily on the 553. Im sick and tired of hearing the complaints. My run had to mci a 45fter, lemme just say, its not pretty.
  17. Hey you know how it is lol! Ill be happy the day signing into the radio is gone. I still accidentally hit PRTT when signing on lol
  18. There trying do away with signing onto the radio also. When ya sign in on the clever device it signs ya into everything. So far hamilton is the only garage that has that option. Itll make life much easier. PIA signing into 3 devices.
  19. Clever Device news. Soon will be tied into fare machine n register n zones will change automatically. Slow going process.
  20. Our garage is damn near empty. Cant throw a nabi 31 on a full service. But with 7179/7184 oos who knows. Nothing will be normal until those mcis get to Howell.
