Suydam Street Posted June 30, 2021 Share #2777 Posted June 30, 2021 (edited) Meadowlands & Howell were probably place holders for the Buses until they made the infrastructure upgrades at oradell that’s just my best guess I was also told that they removed Stanchions to the bay doors or something to that affect to make it possible for 45 foot Buses to fit Edited June 30, 2021 by Suydam Street 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLiu15 Posted June 30, 2021 Share #2778 Posted June 30, 2021 From what I've heard a large number of 21xxx and 20xxx from Meadowlands, Howell, and Ironbound will be transferring to Oradell. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

553 Bridgeton Posted July 1, 2021 Share #2781 Posted July 1, 2021 I just got this information as well. So the 18000s tracking north are correct. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is they will get 22000s next year as well as buses from the upcoming 172 bus order. There are still 30 lavs left in the current MCI order, and they would probably go to Meadowlands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tranzitfan81 Posted July 1, 2021 Share #2783 Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Washington Twp MCIs are in North Jersey this morning ( Paterson/Wayne area) 18005 on the 190 18006-18008 are also at Wayne. 19053 is at Newton Avenue. I don't see any oddities at Washington Twp besides them have to put NABIs on 406, 410 and 412 today. What is the reason for the switch? Washington Twp is already short buses.

Tranzitfan81 Posted July 1, 2021 Share #2784 Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) It looks like Newton Avenue has buses up there too, 18127, 18128, 19140 and 19141 are also at Wayne. Edited July 1, 2021 by Tranzitfan81 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see they swapped some of the 19Ks between Camden and Wayne too which is strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should have pulled from Ironbound or Wayne for Oradell, or perhaps trimmed the Coach USA 21K order to help fill Oradell's new buses first. They probably should have also assigned those Saddle River leftovers (17063-67) to Oradell instead of sending them to South Jersey. Glad Oradell is finally getting the new buses but it is at the expense of other garages being short buses now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad Oradell is finally getting the new buses but it is at the expense of other garages being short buses now. Transit is clueless on what they doing. They do dumb stuff at the wrong time. Why pull from other garages. Washington Twp lost about 6-7 buses and only got 2 back. Newton Av lost about the same but got the exact amount back. Egg Harbor is the 24hr garage that never stops running and don’t even have the buses to make service. The only thing that’s helping is that we are short on drivers so a lot of runs don’t go out. We got 17063 but that bus has no AC, and currently in the process in the shop fixing the unit. Apparently the AC belt came off during delivery. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad Oradell is finally getting the new buses but it is at the expense of other garages being short buses now. AFAIK Academy's 21xxx (21277-21334) are still not yet built. I think it's still possible NJT decides to reassign them to NJT instead to provide buses for Oradell as well as garages that donated D4500CTs to them. We expected 21191-21240 to be assigned to Wayne at first, but turns out 21198 and up went to Coach USA, so I wouldn't rule out such a change again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
