Mikan Wilhelm Posted December 11, 2011 Share #151 Posted December 11, 2011 Can someone answer this for me is Ironbound letting Orange borrow there Nabi's or something? Because when i was in downtown earlier waiting for the 1 i saw a nabi on the 21 and i just happen to look at the number on there and i saw 5615 i'm like ok? did a quick double check and that's what i saw so that was odd Then i saw a 27 and it had the black and white doors compared to all black so i assume that had to have been a 5600's being used to. It has me wondering. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiXxDiDdY Posted December 11, 2011 Share #152 Posted December 11, 2011 "That is REALLY odd. haha I cant explain a 5600 being used on the 21 lol, but did the 27 yu saw have a bike rack?! Cause if it didnt, perhaps it couldve been one of hiltons suburbans they use on the 107/108?! interesting find, btw." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJokaPlaya Posted December 13, 2011 Share #154 Posted December 13, 2011 We'll don't forget that buses break down and if a Ironbound bus is close by and is deadheading back to the garage for a end of day shift, Control can call the driver to go to that spot and swap buses. Then the driver waits for the mechanic and go backs to his home garage, while picking up some delay time. I've done it before and it was NICE! Flex breaks down at Hoboken, I'm getting done for the day with the 89 with a NABI and we swapped: Greenville with my NABI while I'm waiting for the mechanic. I got about 50 minutes delay time since it was the rush hour. I was lucky 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pablo M 201 Posted December 14, 2011 Share #156 Posted December 14, 2011 Looks like some 2000 Nova's are also being retired especially the ex-Red an Tan's1539 is retired; caught it on the NJ Turnpike exit 16W. bus 002 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! bus 003 | Flickr - Photo Sharing! Wow, thats crazy. 1539 was in really bad shape the last time I rode so glad it got put out of it's misery. I know there was more that was retired but I couldn't get the numbers of the units. So this means R & T is getting some 59xx series. no? Not at all. R&T cut too much service back in November. They have the eight 563x's NABI buses and then some RTSes. Now, they may need more NABI's when their other RTS buses are retired, but for the time being, they're alright. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, I thought they would do the same as A&C and replace the beat up Novas with NABIs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJokaPlaya Posted December 18, 2011 Share #162 Posted December 18, 2011 so.............who's gonna be number 6000? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikan Wilhelm Posted December 18, 2011 Share #163 Posted December 18, 2011 so.............who's gonna be number 6000? Maybe Orange to? well that's my guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTransitMan4608 Posted December 19, 2011 Share #164 Posted December 19, 2011 Maybe Orange to? well that's my guess. Nope. Academy is supposed to get 6000. Speaking of NABIs I saw 5986 coming off exit 11 on the NJ Turnpike. It was heading on 440 in the direction of Perth Amboy. Might be going to Academy, or South Jersey. Who knows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiXxDiDdY Posted December 19, 2011 Share #165 Posted December 19, 2011 "But i thought Orange had 75 Nova A's?! So they would need at least 75 NABIs to replace them..and, if I'm not mistaken, the NABI delivery at Orange started at like 5940. Therefore, the delivery would stop at around 6015" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BZGuy Posted December 21, 2011 Share #169 Posted December 21, 2011 Don't really know what the deal was but their was a 7100 series working the 168T today. Weird considering Oradell has the 168 but no 45s especially a 7100. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted December 22, 2011 Share #170 Posted December 22, 2011 Most likely a break down or a cover. I've never in my life saw a 45" on a Oradell Based route lol I would have foamed to shyt. But I swear I saw a 7100 in the 166T back in the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I swear I saw a 7100 in the 166T back in the summer. Probably a Meadowlands guy. My man that works outta Meadowlands does a 166T to Leonia, every once in a while he'll get a 7100....mostly he gets a 8200 or 7400. I would love his PM piece...he works the 320,124 and 166. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
