According to an Academy Perth Amboy driver, their NABIs will be parked at the Suburban Transit yard when Coach USA takes over their routes, so I'm guessing this confirms which garage will be operating these routes.

As of today the Academy buses are now carrying Suburban Trails legals. They came over in groups of five with one of Coach's D4500CT's ferrying the drivers back and forth from Academy to Suburban. USDOT 31458, NJMVC 57764. Thx to Yue Wu on Facebook!

Some Greenville routes are operated by Market Street during the weekday peak hours as of lately. I have 6263 on my YouTube channel on the 80 here: https://youtu.be/yxCyHm43i8E

but I’m not sure why however. If Market Street buses are on Greenville routes (mainly the 80, 81, 87) during the weekday peak hours, that a block for them

Thats quite strange dont u think....I would think that they would use a much closer garage than paterson for JC Routes....

Egg Harbor Twp: 19145 has been returned to Camden ( Newton Ave)

                                7422 and 7442 are out of storage and still running in service.

Newton Avenue: 19145 is back

7422 and 7442 were never in storage. 7422 was at cmf getting major overhaul new brakes lines, axles, air brake parts within the drums and new floor, drivers seat, steering wheel, and a fresh entire repaint and new mirrors and bumpers. Rebuilt engine(done at cmf) and trans(cmf).
 

7442 received a new floor, drivers seat, steering wheel to match the 18000 series and nabis, rebuilt engine and trans(done at Washington Twp). brake lines. 


19145 was a loaner because EHT’s mechanics got wiped out by covid, so Newton Av was doing EHT’s DOT work on MCIS  and Washington Twp was doing EHT’s NABI DOT work. 
 

5283 was a replacement for 5201 which have been retired and sent to virtua marlton hospital. I may have said 5284 my mistake. It took Washington Twp over 2mo to get 5283 road worthy.

The only old MCI at Newton Avenue is 7645( which has been MIA for about a week now)

The only old MCI at Washington Twp is 7516 ( 7515 was recently retired and I think 7512 may be now as well).

According to 553 Bridgeton Egg Harbor Twp has 7422 and 7442, they were rehabilitated and running now since their garage was short. 

 

Still with some of the new 21Ks sitting in Turnersville's backyard, it would be nice if NJ Transit left a few down there, Turnersville garage and Egg Harbor Twp can use a few more MCIs now.  Both garages have lost 3 of their old MCIs, also Turnersville is running short on NABIs too, MCIs are being used on some trips on the 400, 403 and 459 and those lines are Exact Fare now.  I have noticed even with borrowing NABIs from Camden that they still put the MCIs on these routes( even on the weekend).

Thought 7645 was at Wayne but this from CPTDB still. 7512 is also retired. Most the units on 7401-8990 are jumbled up on wiki which why 7661 is still listed with Washington Township and 520, 7545, 7564 at Newton Ave.

 

Idk as well but I'm hearing rumors that Howell retired 7101-7118. It was listed retired on NJ Transit wiki but listed active on CPTDB still. Though I haven't seen any running lately as well.
