553 Bridgeton

17080, 17086, 17088, 17097, 17113 at eht. 18074 to Washington Twp, 16003 is a goner.

Warwick was on the of njt lines from the start, mainly the working class use that line in the peak hours 196/197, outside of that the line is dead past Pompton Lakes. Ringwood P/R and Warwick P/R was power houses pre pandemic now, I can’t say the same.

18115 to egg harbor

If I remember correctly njt used to service that part of Pennsylvania but not that far deep.

My boy has that bus. They are testing the a/c on them as a lot of them are failing with the ones we have.

I currently have 18105 on the 552 and 315 today. This bus is leaving for meadowlands tomorrow.

Howell is chill garage, they do what they want. Just be prepared to not have weekends off, all the senior guys take all the combo work. If you do Atlantic City prepare for long deadheads. Howell and Egg Harbor are the only 2 garages that work the entire state. In terms of a senior garage most of the old heads are retired or on their way out.

What bus tracker is this?

Your ID is your riding pass. We don’t pay to ride the bus or train. Amtrak, Metro North, and LIRR honors us as well, although sometimes you get a nasty one that says no.

18108-18110 been here for about a week. 18111 last night, and 18112 just came in tonight. So we have 18108-18112 now Meadowlands 18098,18100-18102.

Meadowlands has 18098 now Egg Harbor has 18111 now 7170&9050 has been retired.

It’s supposed to be at meadowlands Idky it’s back here. 18111 has been transferred to egg harbor.

18110 now eht 18101/18107 now meadowlands

Interesting

I have no idea. But the way it looks those may be the last to go.

18108-18118 Lavs getting sent to egg harbor 18097-18107 Lavs to meadowlands 18069(non lav), 18092(non lav), 18096(non lav) 18100(Lav) to meadowlands

Apparently 18069 has been transferred to the Meadowlands.

17095 currently on its way from mci in Blackwood to Egg Harbor.

The way how njt specs their buses, more specifically the ISX12 and X12 caused these buses to live in the shop. Meadowlands has over 35 21000s out of service. It took 5 years to work out the bugs in the 18000s and they still breaking down. 18089 was in the shop 2/3 of the time and most times they just ran it to make service. The 17000s we got are not going to last at eht with the 24hr work we do and a 67mph gov; they are literally choking the buses to an early grave. They worked at decamp because they don’t do relentless driving.

I’m going to say it once and once only. Those buses are not staying there. Ironbound has the ability to use anyone’s buses because of CMF being right there. That’s how 22056 got sent down here. Ironbound will not use the hybrids for a roadcall; as after 4pm since there are no 20000s or 21000s In the garage during the rush hour. Cmf will let Ironbound use foreign buses(as called in the garages) if they are down buses. Just how 22056 came down and been on the 313/315/316/319/552/553/559 we can use that bus and can keep it until they fix our bus(18102) that broke down. Howell will not let Meadowlands fix their buses and meadowlands has a poor maintenance issue. However they will let egg harbor use and fix their buses.

I have pics but I cannot post them. It doesn’t look bad however major damage the rear frame of the bus. That bus looks to be a write off. 22056(Fairview Bus) tracking on the 552, came from Ironbound yesterday evening. 22053 is a Ironbound now…

6201-6203 should be en route as well. 5869&6204 went up Friday night.

Testing purposes

17120 in service. 17077 was on one of Ironbounds lines earlier.

17111 & 17120 at eht with 17111 being in service. 17085 had to go back to cmf.
