Oh yeah. When I worked at Newark Airport Terminal A I've seen Red & Tan AND ONE Bus Nova's being used for that route multiple times, they only have a handful of MCIs (NJT owned, ex Greyhounds and the newer MCIs that they purchased) to use for it.

 

"Hm. I guess it makes sense that N.A.E. got the ex-Red and Tan NABIs before ONE bus, but I'm still wondering why Egg Harbor, and Orange have gotten NABIs, even though they have Novas in the 1300s. I can understand Egg Harbor getting NABIs since I hear their Nova B's are on their last legs..

 

But Orange's Novas are running perfectly fine. And isn't the NABI delivery stopping at 63XX?! Which means, at this point, they only have enough NABIs left to replace the whole Nova B fleet at Orange. Will they order more NABIs or is NJT just planning on replacing the Nova Bs in the worst condition?!"

I don't know if anybody has noticed but 8519-8523 has not been seen for MONTHS! Once the NABIs and Nova's started showing up on the Newark Airport Express these buses have been MIA.

Transferred to Community, Suburban or even back to NJT is my guess. Anybody seen these buses?

Wash twp nabis takes a beating on the 400/403. Those 5300s are crap now.

Funny story, I was on 5201 on the 459 to the college (around 1pm).  Then while i was waiting to go back to Lindenwold, I saw 5201 again on the 403 at the college around 5:30pm  They were definitely not the same drivers/runs

This is a reason they need more Transit/Suburban buses.  They run these things 18-20 hours a day.  Many of  these buses are beaten to death on the road, especialy on the rutted streets in Camden.
