"Yeah I saw pics of that incident on the #37. 6438 is DONE.
Is there a count of how many NABIs got into bad accidents/got put out of service? Seems like a LOT
A couple of weeks ago, a Coach USA NABI crashed into a Bank of America in Orange.
Then there was the one that crashed into the building in Newark.
I Don't remember the bus #s from either incident.
"Jeez. I feel like there's been at least 10 NABI wrecks. I could be wrong, but I don't remember any of the Novas or Flxibles getting into bad wrecks this often.
Anybody know the status of the previously wrecked NABIs?! "
I guess they're not retiring all the Novas. I just saw 1345 on the 94 not too long ago. I'm willing to bet there's still at least 10 more Novas still being used at Orange.
Are they keeping some of the Nova B's around for a couple more years?! I saw 1350 on the 94 this morning, even tho Orange is done getting all their NABIs
Holy crap, I was just on that bus around that time! I couldnt come here to report my sighting cause my phone is messed up tho. Were you actually riding on it or saw it on MyBus Now?!"
Since Greenville is getting all those NABIs, will they even have enough to go to Orange (last I heard, they had at least 60 Novas left), AC, and Coach USA (which has a whole fleet of Novas)?! The order stops at like 65XX "
WTF. Orange still has a crapload of Novas left. They did this same back and forth stuff with the 6300s that went to Orange. What the frick is NJT doing?! I wonder where 6403-6311 is, then..
"
Yeah, you're probably right. I was just estimating. lol Cause I know Hilton & Orange were going back and forth a lot with receiving NABIs.
Also, I saw 6402 on the 96. I think it's safe to say Orange will be getting up to around 6435. "
"They may actually be Orange's. Hilton's newest NABIs are from around 6330-6398. All the other 6300s belong to Orange. "
"Orange swapped about 20-25 buses with Hilton like last year. So Orange now has like 5830-5851, and Orange now has about 5975-6000. So the 58XXs you've been seeing probably really were Orange's. lol"
"Wow, I surely thought the Nova suburbans used on the Go25 were gonna stick around a lot longer. Lol
But that's weird, cause I thought the goBuses used suburbans (like the go28 uses suburban NABIs and the go25 used suburban Novas). I wonder how the inside of them look. "
"They probably haven't fitted them with clever devices yet because the Go25 is such an infrequent route with not that many stops. NJT probably sees no point in doing so. I could be wrong tho. Maybe they will order suburban buses in the next couple of years from whatever company they have build the replacements for the Neoplans..?! "
"I don't think the Novas for the Go25 are going anywhere anytime soon. Mainly cause they're the 2001 suburban model Novas. Plus, since they're only used on the Go25- which only does a few rush hour runs every weekday, I can imagine those buses have VERY low mileage. I'd say give or take another 5 years until NJT orders a few more NABI suburbans as replacements. "
"The NABIs (at least the ones from Orange & Hilton) no longer say "Stop Requested". When you ring the bell, it just makes a chime sound (instead of the chime, then the voice saying "Stop Requested"). Also, some of the 5800s at Orange now have driver shields. "
