Pretty bad deal for everybody involved....but it looks like the motorcycle rider cut off the (NJT) buses.

 

Anybody have any idea which buses were involved. By the look of that pic in the article that 2nd bus looks like it has frame damage so that may be a write off.

The first bus was #8083 on 116 line.

The second bus was #9022 on 139 line.

Both could either a D4000 or D4500. If 52 passengers was hurt, how fast was that njt driver going. I hate to say it, but the driver maybe f*****. I hate those ppl that drive motorcycles!

 

I don't know if you ever had to work the Lincoln Tunnel or the GWB during rush hour but those motorcyclists LOVE to cut people off. Pure 100% jerks if you ask me. GWB, yeah they can get away with it since they're allowed to go into other lanes, but the Lincoln.....I nearly had one of those accidents years ago during the evening rush. Dude just came out of nowhere and was INCHES from my right mirror in the middle lane. I thought he hit me but he didn't. But it was damn close since I was in the left, and there was a MCI on the right. They shouldn't allow motorcycles in the Tunnel during rush hour unless they have a sidecar.
