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. 

For what it’s worth, the mytix reader has been turned on and when you scan it comes up on the register. The tap pay feature however has not been turned on. The tap pay won’t be turned on until the fare card available.

I was talking with an operator on the 319 who broke down in Ocean City and the control centers weren't updating each other on what was going on and they yelled at the driver. You can't make this stuff up.

Idiots work in control then blame the driver.

Not sure about that.  
@553 Bridgeton?

They have to add each stop in the clever device for those legs. They are only running as extra trips in the 900 series run numbers. They will be all added for the summer pick and to the mybus app. 

We are supposed to get all of the 19000s from camden. Twp does not want to give up those 2 that they have but have no choice. 

19129 is a breakdown and 18070 is a breakdown. 
 

The process is slow right now. A lot of mechanics are calling out, especially the A Rate guys who do major work and newton wants all major brake work done before they take on the rest of the 18000s. 

Those scanners don’t even send the ticket to the register all it does is deactivate the ticket so it can’t be used again. The system isn’t turned on yet. They will have to rollout new registers for both to work together. 

19122-19123 to Oradell. They already got the Oradell emblems. 

19138 and 19140 transferred to EHT.

18068, 18085 to Newton Av

Open door no restrictions. This is njt now they are hoping to carry local passengers as well. I think decamp should have lifted that. Maybe they could have held on and only ran peak buses and cut weekends. 

22071 is currently in West Caldwell and 22070 south into orange on the parkway.

https://www.njtransit.com/decamp
Schedules are out for 191D 192D 195D 199D all leaving from gate 208 on the 4th floor.

These new schedules and lines won’t be on njt MyBus app until late may.

Oradell and Westwood will be operating these legs.

18070, 18075 transferred to Newton Av

So if you ride everyday you have to reserve? Send the state buses back and let them use their own buses for that nonsense. 

18126-18127 currently being transferred to eht. Will be at the garage in about 15mins.

Yup

Yep.  I was thinking 9 times out of 10 when ever it rains really hard, the electrical systems start going haywire.  Not the case here.  Thankfully I got out of the tunnel and into the right lane.  Former co worker at my former employer said he had the same problem couple weeks back and told me to check the back.  Belts were gone

When “not gen 1 & 2” along with check and stop engine comes on 99% of the time the belt is gone. 

19131/19133-34 transferred to EHT

18064/18069/18071 transferred to Newton

18069 currently on the 317

19126-19150 will be EHT buses in the coming weeks.

Its a mileage swap.

They need them back, some of those buses(17Ks) can come down to Southern NJ ( Egg Harbor Twp and Washington Twp-Turnersville) where they're needed desperately. 

Currently the 18000s at EHT are getting swapped with newton Av 19000s going to EHT. 

I’m going to let this sit. They didn’t mention it was the first run of the R211.

And this is why money is wasted. All that money spent to get them and transfer them under NJT only to transfer them back. Makes no sense.

Don’t think logic when it comes to njt. They do stupid things. They waste money on nonsense it never put the money where it needs to go.

The run starts in Paterson Broadway Bus Terminal. I believe it's either the 190X New York Express or the 190R New York Express using Oradell equipment.

Anyhow,that should be a fun quiet drive deadheading to the terminal 

I thought the 190Rs start/end at Union/Darwin….

Correction upon looking at the schedule the R does start in Paterson. Never knew that.
