18001-18004 now at Washington Twp. 8269 is either in storage or at cmf

18002 and 18004 are both on the 554 today(per myBus now).  Just odd that NJT keeps sending buses to storage when they are still short MCI buses in South Jersey; NABI 5333 was on the 315 this morning all the way to Cape May, 406 and 412 see NABIs almost everyday now.  I wonder how many new MCIs is Twp getting to start.

Currently all 18000s at twp are out of service. 5 are out of service indefinitely. 

About 10-15 old mcis will be kept, 18000s mostl” likely  wont be on the 412.

How come they are out of service?

Yeah I've noticed none of the were running this weekend.  I see the 551 is borrowing 8013 this evening from( Newton Ave) Camden.  Friday the 412 had a NABI 5337 and the 406 had 5324 last night.  What happened with the 18000s?  Why are they out of service?

Yeah that is definitely not good.  Hope they get these defects ironed out soon.  

 

These are the 18000s out this AM according to MyBus Now:

18004, 18006, 18016, 18007 and 18019 are on the 554

18005, 18010 and 18015 on the 551

18011 and 18012 are on the 408

18009 on the 406

Noticed that none are on the Broadway/Woodbury corridor ( 401, 402, 410 and 412).

7402 has been out of storage and at Oradell for some time.

Twp seems to have up to at least 18025, as it and 18022 are both operating today (401 and 554, respectively).

I've yet to see any 2001-'02 model year units go into storage yet, unless I've missed something.

I 've noticed since there are a good amount of 18000s in Turnersville, a couple of their buses have been sent up the Freeway to their neighboring garage ( Newton Avenue). 7526 and 8271 are both doing 409 runs tonight and I know 7526 has been also seen on the 317 also.   Meanwhile, with the NABIs, Turnersville is still borrowing from Camden. 5585 was on the 400 over the weekend and for some odd reason 5370 was on the 406.    Still with the presence of 18000s in Turnersville, there are still a couple of NABIs on the 406, I hope that will not be next to be converted to Exact Fare like they did on the 400, 403 and 459.    Even tonight 7939 and 18012 is are on there but so is NABI 5326.  Most weeknights, there's one NABI on the 406 and sometimes on Saturday nights too. 

 

And lastly there are a few NABIs missing from Camden:  5574, 5639 ( again), 6007 and 6008. Its been a while since those 4 buses have been seen on MyBus Now.

18019 is the highest i have seen running. But they are coming in fast now can't keep up.

that will be fast. Once this mommy starts warming up after today, ill look to see what's the latest, but the older 7500s, 8000s, and the 8270/8280s should have been either sent to the storage, up north or Secaucus to sit at the retirement spot.

Newton Avenue Camden: Gone for now is 6007 to Academy Hudson County ( has been on the 22 the past few days)

                                                 6008 and 5639 ( unknown as to where)

                                             7611 and 8012 are also missing

                                         MCI additions: 7512 and 7526 from their regional neighbor Washington Twp ( both have been on 317 and 409 trips)

 

Washington Twp: Gone are 8003 and 8010 ( either Wayne or Market St) both have been on 190

                                                7512 and 7526 took a short trip up the 42 Freeway to Camden

            New Buses: Have seen up to 18032, on MyBus Now, also confirmed 18027 and 18028 have been running as well.

8012 is still active at Newton Ave, as are 7512 and '26 (I hope they enjoy those last two units especially).

7529 is now at Oradell, also from Twp; they also appear to have 7405.

8224 and '25 are at Ironbound.

I can also confirm that 8003 is at Market St and that 18031 is also operating for Twp.

I saw 6212 yesterday on the 551. Is this the first one that 551 has used a NABI or was there another one before or way before this......................

I've seen them a handful of times over the past couple years. Interesting how the NABIs pop up on lines (551, 319) that the NOVAs and Flxibles never did (at least to my knowledge, I never saw one).

They had 5362 last night on the 551 also.   It is not unusual...Washington Twp is still about 12 MCIs short.  Newton Avenue loaned 7545 and 7548 to Washington Twp last night too, 7545 was on the 402 and 7548 on the 406.   I find this also odd when they just transferred 7512, 7520 and 7526 to Newton Avenue when the 18000s arrived.

Long time ago, many garages that had the MCI's ('82-84 and '87), none of which were built with lifts, were assigned one or two Flxible suburban buses with lifts to be used on those routes for wheelchair passengers, Now, all of the buses have lifts so there is no need (technically) so it should be rarer to see a NABI suburban on those cruiser routes.
