Anyways what's the reason for the Academy buses going to NJT again? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if we get some new 22000s in South Jersey, they should go to EHT and Newton Avenue and send all of the 17Ks to Washington Twp. At this point, they shouldn't get any newer buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EHT needs buses bad. Washington twp as well. Newtons 19000s should go to Wayne. Send the 17000s to newton, they only have 2 full time mci lines. Send some of those 22000s to EHT and twp. We can’t get parts to fix these buses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted October 3, 2022 Share #3039 Posted October 3, 2022 Hearing from a reliable source that the 2023 Cruiser allocation of 91 + option buses will be fulfilled by the only bidder, MCI, with D45 CRT diesel models (not the Low Entry). These buses would be assembled at the New Flyer facility in Crookston, Minnesota, the new home of the D series. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted October 6, 2022 Share #3040 Posted October 6, 2022 VINs for 22901-22908 are 5FYB8FJ1XNB105300 through 5FYB8FJ12NB105307. New Flyer electric was trotted out to the press on Tuesday, and should go into revenue after training is completed in October for drivers, mechanics, and local first responders. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranzitfan81 Posted October 7, 2022 Share #3043 Posted October 7, 2022 The Courier Post ( Camden Newspaper) stated that (per NJT) 22901 will begin service on 10-24 making debut on the 452. I am surprised they chose the 452 first. It runs up and down a lot of raggedy streets. The 455 and 457 are next after that. I am surprised they're not choosing the popular Mall routes first (404, 405 and 407). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure those D45CRT standard floor cruisers are going to Wayne and some possibly to Meadowlands to replace the 9000s and 7100s. Oradell should definitely have all of their 40 foot MCIs replaced by the 22000 white back MCIs and they'll be housed in Oradell garage. Fairview may have their ex-Wayne 9000s replaced by the white backs as well. It's just a guess on my part 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted October 11, 2022 Share #3046 Posted October 11, 2022 Between Washington Twp and Egg Harbor there are 111 18000 series. With the high miles on the 18000s they are going to have to shift those buses to a garage that does less miles. Same with the low 17000s njt took back. I can see at least 40 18000s going to market steet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairview may have their ex-Wayne 9000s replaced by the white backs as well. It's just a guess on my part Since Oradell split to Westwood, it leaves Oradell room to expand service including adding more buses to the fleet. The physical limit of 45 footers at Oradell stands at 182 but management wants to stop at 160 for comfort. Originally, we had 209 40 footers. They will go to garages that have the oldest buses in the fleet not miles driven. Take your bets :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead now buses are sent to garages and die there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fairview may have their ex-Wayne 9000s replaced by the white backs as well. It's just a guess on my part My money is on the CRTs going to Wayne/Meadowlands/Howell to replace 7100s (both 7101-7118 and 7121-7187) and 9000s, and to southern garages which will displace 18000s (for a mileage switch like @553 Bridgeton said) to Market Street (to finally replace their D4000s), Oradell (to get up to 160 buses as @Gmansports said) and Fairview (to replace their ex-Wayne 9000s). I did hear a theory that the CRTs will be going to southern garages to replace their 18000s which will then go to Wayne and Market Street. Not sure tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
