Ok while i was in downtown today waiting for the 43 going down Raymond Blvd. to Penn Station i see a Coach USA Nabi on the 44 of course and i have to say that i couldn't catch the number of it since i was to far but damn it looked awesome.

 

Man, youre so lucky! Cant wait to eventually see one on the 24/31.

I also saw 5999 on the 52 in Union today, while I was on break from work.

"I can confirm what Jayden 973 said as true. I saw 5993 on the 70 yesterday, and another 59XX on the 25 this morning. If Orange got 20 of Hilton's buses, my guess is Hilton got 5980-6000 from Orange."

"6000 is at the Orange garage, saw it on the 94 this afternoon."

Here's the predicted RTS replacement that I've calculated so far Academy Hoboken has(or had) about 40 RTS's left (according to the last updated roster) and should be done after 6051. Then if I'm correct, Academy Perth Amboy will get 6052-6085(or more depending on whether Academy is going to replace the newer Nova B's they have) Then Coach USA garages will get them in this order Elizabeth(ONE/Olympia Trails), New Brunswick(Suburban), and Paramus(Community Coach). Please don't hold me to this.

 

As for you ONE bus fans, yes the time when we will see NABI's in a CUSA scheme is near. If I can improve my photoshop skills I might be able to do an atist render.

 

PLEASE make an artist render! Words cant describe how much I can't wait to see a NABI in the Coach USA "ONE" bus scheme.

Maybe a breakdown and a Ironbound NABI that was deadheaded was close by to do a switch?

Yeah youre probably right. Cause A lot of Orange's Nova B's been breaking down. I saw two break down in Linden this week, and one had a broken wheelchair lift.

Oh and words cant describe how much i CANT WAIT to see them Nova B's used on the coach USA "ONE" bus routes (24, 44, 31) get replaced with NABIs"

"Okay what the HELL is up with Ironbound's buses?! I saw 5652 on the 94 last night in Newark.

Can ANYONE explain why Ironbound's NABI's are being seen everywhere?! lol"

I saw 5982 today in West Orange on the 21.

I dunno if this meant anything or not, but today in Linden I saw 1342 with the destination sign saying "Egg Harbor". It didnt have a route number next to it or anything. So Im wondering if that bus is being transferred to the egg harbor garage?!

"Ah you beat me to it. Lol I saw 5971 on the 34 downtown yesterday.

Any word on the 5900s that were recalled/sent back to Alabama?! Cause for the most part, the 5900s from Orange don't seem to be missing. "

What's going on with those Ironbound buses?! They keep getting spotted on routes at other depots..lol

"But i thought Orange had 75 Nova A's?! So they would need at least 75 NABIs to replace them..and, if I'm not mistaken, the NABI delivery at Orange started at like 5940. Therefore, the delivery would stop at around 6015"

"I spotted 5966 on the 94 in Bloomfield. I was working, so I couldn't pull out my phone and take a pic. lol. I think they're at least up to 5970 by now."

"That is REALLY odd. haha I cant explain a 5600 being used on the 21 lol, but did the 27 yu saw have a bike rack?! Cause if it didnt, perhaps it couldve been one of hiltons suburbans they use on the 107/108?!

interesting find, btw."

I thought Orange had 75 Nova A's left?!

And ahh damn I really think Coach USA should be next to get the NABIs for the O.N.E. bus service (24, 44, 31) after Orange..cause Academy takes great care of their buses (especially in Middlesex county), so their Novas aren't nearly as shot as those Coach USA Novas used on the 24, 44 and 31"
