Orion VII 4 Life Posted August 28, 2013 Share #1327 Posted August 28, 2013 Did they say which company or do we have to wait till September?I don't think we'll be seeing Designlines coming are way again... I seriously hope MCI builds this order as fast as they did the MTA's last one, so this whole fiasco with the current CNGs being retired and no more coming in is over with. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly hope that'll be the case. NJT CANNOT experiment with bus bidding again. I mean it's already bad enough they've been putting 40' buses out on the 64. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busdude2 Posted August 28, 2013 Share #1329 Posted August 28, 2013 The new buses will be 45 feet though. Designline only delivered about a dozen so far right ? And I guess that's about it for a while with their shutdown. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's no longer a temporary shutdown. Designline is bankrupt and has stated they have to pay back NJT for undelivered buses, so consider this order done. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfs NJT459 Posted August 29, 2013 Share #1332 Posted August 29, 2013 I looked at MCI's CNG specs on their website, and it looks like they only come in 40 footers currently 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted August 29, 2013 Share #1333 Posted August 29, 2013 You got a source on that? I want to see this for myself. Was in a news article somewhere on the bankruptcy. I looked at MCI's CNG specs on their website, and it looks like they only come in 40 footers currently I heard a few D4500CT CNGs were produced for an agency somewhere. It can probably be done, and if it can't then NJT will have to keep the CNGs 40 feet sadly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If MCI can make 40' CNG's, then they can definitely make a 45' CNG for NJT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtattrain Posted August 29, 2013 Share #1335 Posted August 29, 2013 MCI has made CNG buses ever since 2010-2011, although they haven't been produced in giant masses. Nevertheless, I believe MCI will do a good job with making CNG coaches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfs NJT459 Posted August 30, 2013 Share #1337 Posted August 30, 2013 Idk if I could confirm this or not, but I think 7167 belongs to Egg harbor cuz I was at the AC Bus Terminal and that bus was doing the 2:30 pm 319 to AC, continue as the 319 Local to Cape May at 5:15 pm, but that bus had problems, so those who were continuing to Cape May had to switch to bus 7410 I did not see a Meadowlands sticker on 7167 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted August 31, 2013 Share #1338 Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Ill be on the lookout in the garage for 7167. Was off today. Was in a news article somewhere on the bankruptcy. I heard a few D4500CT CNGs were produced for an agency somewhere. It can probably be done, and if it can't then NJT will have to keep the CNGs 40 feet sadly.

FlashThunder Posted September 3, 2013 Share #1341 Posted September 3, 2013 recently saw a NABI with a farebox on 154. It didn't have fairview garage logo and it was obvious that the bus was missing the sticker that says exact fare only. Is fairview short on buses? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they've had to send some MCIs down to South Jersey, so they can could send of their (Washington Twp) MCIs up to Howell since DesignLine never came through with the rest of their buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorEasterNick Posted September 6, 2013 Share #1344 Posted September 6, 2013 at least 2 NABI's each on the 553 and 559 today... very interesting.. it brings back memories of seeing the Flx's run the full service routes back in the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
