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.

Academy is still a private carrier on the long-haul side and will probably still need that final allocation of buses. Plans can always change of course.

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. 

It is a shame they sent those buses down the Turnpike with problems.  I have noticed that they're not being used on routes yet.  I did notice 17067 tracking today but 19070 is in Camden at Newton Avenue garage along with 19075. I don't know what else Turnersville got besides 17067 and 19177 because nothing appears to have left the garage yet.

Those Wayne buses have major issues with brake lines needing to be replaced.

17063 finally hit service yesterday on the 319 yesterday and 553 today

It looks like Wayne ended up sending 3 buses back.  18127 and 18128 are back in Camden and Turnersville has 18002 back.  18002 was on the 406 earlier and is now on the 459 and 18128 was on the 409 earlier this evening.  18127 is tracking at the Newton Avenue garage.  Hopefully during the next bus swap, they send South Jersey buses that are operable right away.  It got so bad that they had to use an NABI on the 551 ( 5341).  Newton Avenue was experiencing an NABI shortage on Wednesday evening due to helping Turnersville.  19145 made an appearance during the evening on the 452 as a result which was definitely rare.

19076 is tracking at Washington Twp.

Oradell new MCI roster as of 7/23 (from FB post):

20062, 20067, 20087, 21009-21010, 21075-21083, 21085-21088, 21091, 21099, 21178-21179, 21184, 21191-21197

So what's been scrapped? I'm guessing a lot of D4000s were removed from service. Nice to see 45 Fters at Oradell.

Not sure. I just know that Oradell got a bunch of new 45's recently (most likely temporary until 22000s arrive), and Fairview got some 9000s (with some of their D4000s being retired).

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. 

You mean #19153? #19053 is with Academy Lines.

Well now it seems buses have been going back and forth, those 19000s went back to Wayne so now 20014 is tracking at Newton Avenue garage.  18127 and 18128 were also returned to Newton Avenue.  I think 17185 and 19177 went back to Wayne too, Washington Twp got 18002 back only.  The crazy part of all of this is none of Wayne buses have been in service on any of the South Jersey routes, which is bad because all three SJ garages are running short with MCIs now.  Also noticed 21138 out of Egg Harbor Twp these past few days, most likely a summer loan.

Has that been confirmed? I remember you asked a few weeks ago AND you asked a couple of day ago and no one really knew.

It was tracking at the Coach USA Elizabeth garage yesterday via the NJT Sector. It won’t show the routes history though.

Those swaps was for DOT Repairs and Inspections.

I brought 21138 down as a 319 to Wildwood, due to 18105 breaking down.
