  1. Positive bro, 7108 was at egg harbor for a while. All of mtas mcis have retarders you just cant hear them.
  2. They do have retarders. Its just too quiet. I drove these many of times and the engine brake light comes on when you brake. Its a red light on the dash that says "engine brake". If you listen hard enough you can almost hear it.
  3. It was actually an ok drive, it just doesnt suit the 553 though with all the shoppers and casino workers. It quickly became standing room only. There just trying to get all of us comfortable with the nabis, but the 553 aint the route for that.
  4. The T444E is a terrible engine, which is why maxxforce 7,8,9,10, DT is the new age engine for school buses, they pack so much power with a heavy load. Ive only heard of the C2 with a MBE or cummins. The MBE was discontinued due to problems. The only option since is cummins w/ engine braking.
  5. The thomas c2s an ic ce300s are good buses especially the c2.
  6. Theres is NO DEMAND for a Philly/Camden New Brunswick route....you must be on dog food. What I got outta that plan was basically you thought because theres a Rutgers in Camden & New Brunswick that could justify such service.
  7. That was suppose to have started the day the 7100s & 9000s entered service!
  8. D4000s can pop up on the 319 @ anytime since we do have 7783-4 with restrooms. Those 2 buses were out which caused 8026 to go out.
  9. Taking it down Weymouth-Malaga Rd is just senseless, never mind the fact there is no demand, let alone those ppl on that quiet little Weymouth-Malaga Rd wouldnt go for that. Penns grove has more philly ridership via 468 to 401 or 402.
  10. A few packed buses still wont change the fact without ttc njt mercer would be down under. There ridership is low for that part of njt. In fact it would add too much time to the already long 401. They want the 401 to quick turn around to get them buses back to woodbury fast. Jake brakes are banned in pennsville and they dont want mcis making noise through there. Basicslly why the 402 is mia outside of rush hr.
  11. We use the majority of the nabis on the 552 short runs. Now and then theyll pop up on the cape may 552s. Or even the 553.
  12. If it wasnt for TTC NJT Mercer would have went under long ago, i have never seen buses with high ridership outside of TTC. Its the same with the 468, with out the 401, there would be no 468.
  13. So far up 2 6234; i havent seen anything lower then 6211....and most are being used on the 552 short runs.
