Thanks. Anyone know if this will finish the delivery to Westwood or are there more to be delivered next year?

They need about 46 new buses to replace the 2001, 2002, 2003's. So they should get all of the remaining buses in this batch.  That would get them close to what they need. Maybe 10 short or so.

5232 crashed near the PABT. I'm guessing it'll most likely be scrapped based on how the bus looks after the crash.

Hope everyone is okay

Yeah its done. Black paint time. A fairview bus right ?

GWB at a stand still upper and lower now any buses heading to NYC side will be delayed. Dont know why just not moving. Tues 145pm.

New MCI's 20087, 20088 and 20107 on the 126 right now. Monday 815AM.

I forgot to mention that 5375 is OOS from a crash from June and I don't believe it'll be repaired since the NABIs are set to begin retiring soon if im not wrong

Might be fixed it will 2022 before Nabi's start to retire.

Thanks for the updates on this site Dave I no longer belong to the FB Nj bus page. At least you update on here for the artics and new MCI's.

I thought it was 7271.

I think they are only getting 20120 thru 20147 for now. The rest of the order 36 buses are going to Howell and Meadowlands.

Not happening anytime soon NJT time line seems to point to 2025 the latest at the rate they’re going they might as well purchase a whole bunch of XD40’s with suburban seating and no rear door for Oradell and call it a day 

Now that would be cool for a change.

is 20803 at hilton?

These should be part of the first order of 85 not the 25. But it really does not make any difference.

I thought Coach was going to get more buses at the end of this year. If any of those operators are still running the older coaches then they're bound to get a few more.

BTW 20062 is now in revenue out of Ironbound.

They should send them some 18000's and NJT can get the newer ones.

No D4000CTs built yet?

Dont think any will be built with the new huge garage being built for Oradell and Market st etc...

And I believe they’re still going to be D4500CT’s. If MCI was gonna put CRTs in New Jersey, we would have heard of it by now.

I doubt they can get 334 buses in one year so some should be 22000 series numbers.

Saw that, highly doubt if it will be scrapped though.  It may take a while but it can be repaired.

19137 was hit right at the rear axles right side. Very fixable the wheels took most of the hit.

And another crash it was a head on crash I could only see the last 3 bus numbers 512 so 7512 or 8512 IT was an older MCI.

As per the Garage Manager Oradell will not be getting any new buses I don’t know where this phantom order of D4000CT you all speak of is coming from Oradell will be receiving 40 foot Buses from Wayne & Meadowlands it sounds like Meadowlands will become a fully 45 foot garage there is talk of them getting XD60’s

 

 Oradell will only get new buses when a suitable location is found and a garage is built this is just my presumption I could be wrong 

Or until the order for 290 option for 40 ft buses happens.

Thanks its so easy on Facebook to add photos but tougher on here.

Yes many many miles. I would post a pic of 7186 on here but can't figure out how to do it.
