I was just told by a friend that Market Street is helping out Fairview due to their NABI situation, so yes its probably a loan for the day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone can correct this list if needed. One for the history books. As of November 16th all the above units have been decommissioned and no longer on Oradell Property. You can find them at the North Bergen lot Doing a last check, it appears all of the D4000 system wide are no longer in use. My gosh 20 plus years of public use they survived well Edited November 17, 2023 by Gmansports 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gosh 20 plus years of public use they survived well I remember I heard an operator from Oradell mention they had less than two weeks left. That was on November 7th. I haven't seen any out the entire week. Does seem to be likely though as a bunch of 21000s came in recently. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My gosh 20 plus years of public use they survived well So long to hearing the Jake Brake off those D4000s. At least now some Wayne's 20000 year model cruisers and also 17785 have developed deep groan personality to them. They're getting the work. Don't know about the other garages of their MCIs though. I'm still amazed that Oradell has kept their 22000 MCIs looking clean from the exterior 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those were all really good buses. I miss them. I recall riding many of those out of Washington Twp and Newton Avenue garages when I lived in NJ. Out of the D4500s I must say I like the 20-22Ks better than the 17-19Ks that are in the Camden and Turnersville garages now. Their C brake is better and overall they sound better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of these buses end up all over the place due to breakdowns. Especially the PABT lines. Whatever is available will be used. 21029 was a Howell Bus. When Howell breaks down above exit 14 meadowlands sends a bus if at Weehawken, Galvan, or PABT anything goes. This is how 22056 ended up at Egg Harbor. Hell I’ve brought back Oradell buses to Egg Harbor. Any garage can use any bus from another garage until their bus is fixed wherever it’s at. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gmansports Posted November 19, 2023 Share #3495 Posted November 19, 2023 (edited) 2023 had been an interesting year for the DT4500CT bus reshuffling since the downsize of Coach USA and Academy service settlement with NJ. We are done with any future cruiser type order and fulfillment. I was hoping to see a D4500 CRT in the fleet this year, However that order has been put on hold indefinitely. Next up are the Nabi replacement with the XD40 diesels. Last board meeting, there was not any discussion from public at all regarding the approval of diesel only order. This shows you how the public does not invest enough time to provide feedback on bus operations nor they ask who are the new buses for?

Wasn't that surprising that the CRT order was postponed. Tbh I wouldn't be surprised if it was outright cancelled. Once I saw those 17000s and 21000s begin returning to NJT, the CRT order wasn't coming anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
