That's a crazy system. Selling your own lines to a private carrier because either you can't or unwilling to operate them yourselves.🤨

And that my friend is there motto “the way to go” & “the way we do”.

Njt sold those lines there’s nothing they can do but take back the buses they won’t need. Or njt can buy those lines back which I doubt.

I think you guys also have 17115

I haven’t seen it, I’ll check when I get there around 12. Possibly in the steam room or on a lift if it is there. 
 

That Philadelphia tracker site for njt is down so I have to go back old school lol something the new gen knows nothing about 😂.

17085,17111 at EHT

17073,17079,17085,17089, 17091, 17099-17100, 17108, 17112, 17114, 17116-17119. Not sure if missed any but this was just a quick glance at the fleet paper.

I’m operating 18078 this morning on the 166T

That bus is fast, I am going to miss that one the most, and it got a new ISX12 about 4mo ago.

I just had a passenger just randomly put his mobile credit card in the reader on the 192 and wouldn’t you know it the damn thing actually worked considering it was said that payment was only testing on the 161

Probably was a spotter. 

Septa has the same readers as well do. Njt is finally catching up. I hate how njt test things in one place. Njt is still afraid to tell people they can’t pay with a 20.

Wow, it is starting....Did 18068 also go up the Expressway to Twp?   I have noticed it on other routes besides the 551 lately. 

Maybe it I’m not sure but I know 18064-67 are there for sure. 

24 points over a 2 year span. 

If you call out today 7/5/23 that point is removed 7/5/25.

The old system was 16points in a year and reset Jan 1 of the new year. You can thank the people who abused it why we are on the current 2 year point system.

Yeah, and the dilemma continues with the nothing leaving AC after that 11:30pm trip...

We been telling scheduling dept this for years even if you ran it every 2hrs until 730am, but nope they rather people do the 139 to the 559; and yes some people actually do this.

DeCamp buses went quick out of Meadowlands.  Think I saw 3 left.  Also saw some at their old garage in Montclair as I passed by on the Montclair-Boonton Line going to Newark

There at cmf, egg harbor has 3 already.

FLEET once all Decamps buses are sent down

17071-17120

All 18000s will be moved north to cmf then sent to Wayne, Oradell, meadowlands, and Fairview to retire out the 7100s, 9000s and Detroit’s.

17117 is on a hard hold, Idky as the inspection is good until December.

17112 is just on hold. Both buses are still gov at 67mph.

Definitely makes sense. I am sure those 17000s ( DeCamp) have lower miles than even Camden's 19000s. Camden has most of their buses back it looks like too.

Also Ironbound is losing buses to eht and a number of 18000s are going Ironbound; as well as Wayne to retire the 9000s and 7100s; also will force some 20000s to eht with 17185.

17117 is also at Egg Harbor. In service on the 552

Yup run 393; it was supposed to be on hold as it doesn’t even have a lytx camera or partition yet. Cmf only did the registers and clever. Eht has to do everything else.

I noticed EHT has a few of their 18000s back (18068, 18069 and 18071).  Is the switch with Camden being reversed now? 

It’s been a while since they stopped it. Because of the 17000s that are coming to replace the 18000s and 18000s are now going north.

Hey I just went on the mta exam site and they removed the conductor exam for this upcoming June. Does that mean that they cancelled it for good?

I just saw that

Didn’t it use to be that when you signed on to the register, the clever device turned on with it?

No, when one scans the mytix from the phone in the reader it pops up on the register and you don’t have to press anything. It updates the count for you on the wayfarer.
