As of late last week all 64 of the Academy buses from 17121-17184 were state inspected.

 

17121-17125 HP014373-014377

12126-17135 HP014450-014459

17136-17184 HP014461-014509

12126 ? Lol that would be an old new bus.

So it looks like there are only 8 Nova RTS's left running. As of 3/2/17 there are 5 40ft and 2 30ft buses for Coach usa Elizabeth. And 1 40ft left running in south jersey (Salem). If the roster is correct.

Well most of them are scrapped. But some of them are still being kept just in case 1 of Orange's novas goes outta order & they bring it in as a replacement. Also 1 more thing I don't think Hamilton has anymore RTS-06 (30 Ft) novas.

RTS 2625 is preserved in the museum fleet along with 30ft 2501.

Where is the updated depot by depot NJT bus roster here ?

Thanks

A man was found dead on a Roach USA bus in Newark. Bus #6511 was doing its rounds on the 24 in route to Jersey Gardens when they found him unresponsive. RIP sir

Roach USA they probably could not tell the difference in the bus smell from the normal odor. LOL

I don't think they did. Saw some of those on the 126.

The roster above says they are back at Fairview.

Here's a few changes u should make. Wayne doesn't have 8853 - 8856 or 8961 - 8968 anymore. They do have 7419.

Egg Harbor no more 40ft's other than 7783 - 7784.

Howell still has 8202 and 8203 but they don't have 8227 anymore that bus was burnt out or 7929, 7931-7932, 7937-7938. 7511 8225 8251 those are at Ironbound now.

Ironbound doesn't have 7531-7533, 7535-7536, 7538 those still belong to Fairview. They also don't have 7470 7472 7473 7475 7476 7477 7479 7482 7483

Fairview also still has 5236 and 5278 - 5281.

Washington Twp. doesn't have 8850 - 8852 or 7802 - 7805 anymore

Meadowlands has 6237 & 5801 - 5804

When did Fairview get back 5278-5281 from Greenville ?

101 (1995 Orion 5) is not listed as scrapped, but it most likely is.

Probably would be easier to post buses still in service instead.

Most were fixed. I wonder if 5755 was fixed from that head on with that 15 passenger van in Newark ? Maybe 2 or 3 are junk not too many.

Yeah 6348 is junk now.  It would take a miracle to fix it. If it was a 5200 they would not even care.

When did Greenville get 5278 to 5281 from Meadowlands ?  I guess Meadowlands got more MCI's instead.

Yes 5388 is back at Greenville. I would like to know why the temporary swap of 5326 for 5388 very strange. Was there a change in the drivetrain or engine around bus number 5345 ? I know the front doors changed around that number. If there was a change maybe that's why the switch for testing.

RIP 7835 https://www.govdeals.com/index.cfm?fa=Main.Item&itemid=82&acctid=6644

Well it only had 2 years left max.

It is minor damage. RTS and Flx's are long gone.  It is what it is, move on.

That's normal to have a few bugs to work out on any new bus order.

Nice but I was kinda hoping to see Prevost in NJT colors. And drive them, of course ;-)

Photoshop one.

Between Greenville and Orange garages is where they are now assigned?

Yes Greenville sent all 6400's to Orange. Then they got all of their 5200's back from Fairview.

Just in: a Roach USA CRAPI has crashed into a Bank of America in in Orange. Bus #6545 was on a scheduled trip on the 44 to Newark at the time of the accident. Its unknown of the conditions of the bus driver, passengers, a pedestrian and another driver of a vehicle. Based on pictures that whole front part of the roof of the bus is completely mangled...

Damn a brand new bus wrecked. 6th bus from the end of the Nabi order.  I think the one dead was on the sidewalk.

Add 5388 to washington garage swap for 5326 to Greenville. Why ? It makes no sense at all. 

i should have posted this a few days ago, a driver at ironbound took a picture of a notice, does this mean they are getting new buses or transfers that were never there?

What notice ? It is a vintage bus page on facebook.

This was a pointless switch, 5326 is a Washington Twp bus which was swapped for 5388. It was an even exchange but still wonder what the reason was for it.

I agree it makes no sense at all.

Not all....A&C Still runs 2528 on the 4 line

As of what date was it still running ?

I spotted Baby Nova 2565 yesterday running on Broadway Bus

Why would that bus still be running in service ? They were all gone.

5326 spotted on the 126. I think it's a Meadowlands unit.

No its greenville seen it on 87 route twice now.
