A&C no longer operate the 4 line...And 5919 has been scraped for years now...

[davemackey]

We've already talked about 5919; bus has been dead since 2013. 

Also we appreciate your enthusiasm about adding information but PLEASE do not quote the entire fleet roster to add one line of info.

Thank you!

[go25]

Also, Saddle River Tours no longer operates the Bergen County bus lines. Community Coach has them back.

After all that effort to get some more routes under their belt and to lose them. Oh well at least Saddle River still has those cruiser routes.

Meadowlands should also have 18117, correct? 18118-18119 are at Saddle River, and I think those are lavs too. Egg Harbor also has 18120-18125...?

Newton Avenue only has 4 D4000s left: 7520, 7545, 7563 and 7564- all others have been retired.

They also have 19126

Washington Twp and EHT: I believe 18093 went back to EHT, it is on the 559 today enroute to Lakewood.

I have noticed several of Wayne's old leftovers sent down to South Jersey and running out of EH Twp and W Twp this week; it appears that they're sharing these buses between the two garages.  Tonight 8304 and 7651 are used on the 401, 8301 is on the 554 and was used on the 459( of all surprises) earlier today. For EH Twp; 7642 and 8241 are on the 553; 8234 is on the 552. I know W Twp is short buses but now EH Twp too?? 

And 7512 has been returned from Newton Avenue in Camden to Washington Twp as well, that has been used on the 406, 408 and 554 so far over these past few days. 

And speaking of Camden, these past few days none of their 18000s (18126-18129) have been used which is also rather strange.

anyways the 18000s 7 of them caught fire and been temporarily put oos for rewiring and new batteries for 18001-18129. 1 more 18000 that catches a battery fire and they will see the fate of the designline for the 18000s, mci would have to replace those buses. 

 

I had 8301 on the 406, 7661 on the 406 and 8304 on the 401/410

Oh wow that is crazy. And just the 18000s at that, crazy how they're a year old already and this is happening.  Hopefully no 19000s end up with this issue and they get this fixed fast before the summer schedule with the 316 in the mix and the extra shore service on other lines.  I can see this is hurting WT especially because they were already short due to the AC train shuttle.  NABIs have been out all week on just about every MCI Full Service route, I even saw a 555 with a 5300.  There some borrowing going on from Camden too; tonight 5587 is on the 410 and 5911 is on the 400.

Yeah it’s madness. I had 5355 on the 401/412. 

MCI Buses are not what they once was since NFI took over. MCIS never had a bottomed out issue, these 16/17/18/19s can’t absorb bumps for nothing. They sound like Navi’s on a bumpy road and it’s so bad that if the bump is deep enough the computer will tell the bus to stop power. Never had this issue with the Detroit’s and Cats. Not even the 7200-7300 and hybrids had this issue. 

The 18000s are lemons. The C Brake doesn't even give enough output at the highest setting; NJT capped the torque on the take off making them underpowered. It’s a whole host of problems and they only are in the 100k mileage wise. 

[Ron2themax]

MCI bus 19181 is on rhe 161 line this morning. That's the highest 19000 I've seen so far for Wayne Garage. 19178-79 and others are there at Wayne.

[553 Bridgeton]

19184 should be the last for the 2019s unless they exercised the options.

[zzaiahh]

Is 19125 a Meadowlands bus? I seen it on the 166 on MyBus

Yes it belongs to the Meadowlands along with coach 19124. Basically getting familiar with the new update Cummins engine. Wayne, Howell and Ironbound has two buses each of the new engine. Correct me if I'm wrong if the rest of the 19100 order has the new engine

[mfs NJT459]

Does anybody know which of the Saddle River MCIs or NABIs went to CUSA Community Coach?

The only buses with the Cummins X12 are 19104 and 19119-19127. All others have the older ISX-12. I believe with the 2020 buses the X12 becomes standard equipment in the MCI commuter coaches. No Detroit/Daimler engine options for commuter coaches any more. That engine is now only being used in J4500's as an option.

19183 and 19184 have not been delivered yet to my knowledge. I'll keep looking though.

That's very disappointing of Detroit Demand having their engine as an option for only the J4500. That just kills the hope of Detroit ever coming back into the transit market of their engines.

19126 on up have the new X12. And up to 19125 have ISX.
