Will look further into this later but there are some new MCI's 18020 and up on the property. Two confirmed have the VINs JP015005 and JP015006. Do not know where these buses are, or if they have brothers. Like I said, more research into this later.

I think you mean to say 18120.

Looks like these buses need some inspection time because these buses have either caught on fire or accident prone

Most were head on crashes so driver error involved by someone. In the case of bus 6348 the driver hit a tree. That was severe damage. Then there was bus 5612 that T-boned 5784 in Newark another caused by a driver not the bus.  The bus fire they will look at that to see what the cause was.

What bus number was that under Saddle River that was recently caught on fire?

That bus was a Nabi from NJT 6101 and it looked totaled. It was running for Saddle river. I think that must be about 7 or 8 totaled now. Nabi's totaled that i know of are 5612, 5784, 6348, 6357, 6101, badly damaged  outcome unknown  are 5772, 5998, 5952, 6545. I'm sure a few more.

I bet they were anxious since they were only 12 years old when sold.  Many Mci's are about 17-18 years old and still going at NJT.

Nice pis Dave. I see you got a pic of an old NJT Eagle I thought 5604 was the only Eagle saved. I am glad another one was saved.

Also 18103 out there today.

Many 18100's out today. 18101, 102, 104 and 105.

The Year Two order so far consists of 17185-17240 and 18001-18110, making for a total of 166 buses. Need 21 more buses to make the final total of 187 for the year, so looks like we will be getting the balance of that within the next few weeks. Missing buses should be 18111-18131. In September likely picking up at 18132, and then at some point starting the 19000's when the 2019 buses begin being built.

September buses could be 2019's series 19,000.

4017 on the 559 and 4026 on the 552 today. And 18100 was on the 553 so it needs to be added to bus roster.

Thanks Dave.

I guess the missing vins were built for other TA's in between NJT buses.

Thanks Dave for the update.

Egg Harbor's low floor Nabi 1606 is totaled head on crash.

18102 on the 319 . Sunday 3pm.

Good catch go25. I did not look today.

Nice Dave up to 18119.

That is a surprise maybe for training purposes a temporary move.

Awesome Dave.

Thanks Dave great job with the info.

Great so the only ones missing is 18081, 82, 83, 91, 92, 93 so far.

Thanks Dave for the new info. 

That is surprising 18080 was thought to be the highest number for now.

18080 on the 559 this morning, headed towards Lakewood. Spotted it myself near Monmouth Medical Center Ocean Campus.

Must be a glitch in the system but mybusnow showing  route 553 has bus number 18095 running .

Good catch Dave, 18080 finally accounted for.

Yeah Dave i have been looking for 18080 so far nothing. I will post when spotted. Maybe they are using it for training the mechanics.
