Seriously, I used to ask my foreman how he knows what buses are ours and what isn't, he just shrugged at me and laughed.

Not sure why severely short Washington Twp is loaning buses to North Jersey, but this bus has been up there since last Tuesday apparently. As a result of the shortage, there is a domino effect, Washington Twp has to borrow from Newton Avenue to assist with the 400 and 403 while Newton Avenue has been borrowing from Hamilton Twp ( Mercer County). 5509 was on the 413 yesterday and 5539 was down in Camden doing a 453 last week. This week I saw 5578 on the 403 and 5582 and 5585 on the 400. On the MCI side, it seems like more Newton Avenue busses are down the Shore in Atlantic and Cape May Counties ( 17064, 19128, 19131 and 19150). Just to clear things up: 5334 is actually 6356. Neither 5334 or 6356 are tracking, so I believe that the tracker's been mixed up or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly they don't need all of them. But I do agree that CUSAE has more buses then they need. Hell, they don't even use the NABI's for the Airport Express anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted December 23, 2022 Share #3083 Posted December 23, 2022 22114 is tracking in Pembina, and 22118 has not tracked yet. No idea when those buses are coming to NJ with the storms in that part of the country. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the clarifcation. They use some of them but not as much as they used to, they started using the MCI's since I'm guessing NJT told them to use em or lose em. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since Community Coach got a piece of the Airport shuttle, they've been using them less. It's been largely a variety of MCIs lately but the NABIs do show up still. Here's 6499 from like two nights ago, I was surprised to see this one out late. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted December 28, 2022 Share #3089 Posted December 28, 2022 We are still waiting for 22114 and 22118, the last two D4500CT's to be delivered. Meanwhile on the New Flyer front both 22902 and 22903 are both still in St. Cloud. Nothing yet on the 23000 cruisers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted January 10, 2023 Share #3090 Posted January 10, 2023 22118 only 22000 series cruiser not yet in service. 2023 D45 CRT's will prototype in summer and be mostly 2024 buses. 22902-22908 still in St. Cloud, along with maybe the first of the 60 artics which should be on deck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AtThat 119 line is popping ever since transit took over and converted it into an artic route, with some Nabis and an occasional MCI. Like you guys know, Transit wants the 126 line to be a full artic line during off peaks and weekends. The 123 line is a give or take of XD60s. Also, routes 1 & 25 still needs more XD60s because of rising heavy ridership. I've said it before that them 60 artic buses will be split between Meadowlands and Hilton Edited January 18, 2023 by FlxMtroD Add on to my response 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think about dedicated busways on longer routes. They already have more artics than they ever had when they were the Volvo B10MA and the Neoplan AN459, and now they're expanding using the 60 options from the 2020 contract, and they're going to test some electrics in that length as well. New Flyer has really been rocking it with electric buses in other cities and hopefully the NJ riders and staff will get a charge out of them too (hee hee). In a way, I'm glad NJT didn't go with Proterra. Their electric buses for Philly are just sitting there rotting, and I think someone at NJT noticed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlxMtroD Posted January 18, 2023 Share #3096 Posted January 18, 2023 On Fairview Garage bus 5240 on the 74 to Paterson this morning. I'm thinking dayum...is Market Street getting some of Fairview NABI suburbans too? They got four from Newton and now two from Fairview.

New Flyer " is the way to go" kkkk, when it comes to electrics. Dave, I've thought transit back then had close to 200 Volvo artics at four of the garages ( Hilton, Big Tree, Fairview & Meadowlands) if I'm not mistaken. I've always thought NJT should have around 250 or more artics. Jersey City is going bananas when it comes to population growth, condos galore, heavy investments and surely emphasis on transit. Soon it will overtake Newark as to being the largest city in Jersey population wise. Of course I know it all boils down to space at the current garages of holding additional artics, how long it will take for Union City Garage to open back to business and the mega bus facility in Ridgefield Park to be built. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree that the artics that serve routes within Jersey should get the three door model, while the New York routes have the two door. Yet maximum seating capacity matters to NJT and most passengers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
