Yeah I heard it yesterday it sounded great!

I rode that bus a few times last year; she a big ol' beast!!!

 

Other notes: I have been seeing some MCIs working the 156 and 159s more often lately; in fact I have seen #7680 on the 156 and 159, saw #7777 today on the 159 and just a little while ago I saw #7586 on the 156 in addition some Market Street Garage NJT NABI Suburbans have been working the 84 Today; saw #5432 on the 84 and I rode #5433 on the 84 a little while ago; however those buses have been loaned from other garages so expect MCI #7586 to return to Oradell Garage soon, #7680 and #7777 should be returning to Meadowlands and NJT NABIs #5432 and #5433 should be back @ Market Street Garage soon; those are just loaners.

7644 is at Howell... I still can't understand why we're getting more D4000s unless it has to do with the Designlines failing or something.

I think it's because Egg Harbor is getting a lot of people trying to take the bus to the casino, and their D4000's were getting crowded so they needed more D4500 buses. That could be a possibility, I seriously doubt it has anything to do with the DesignLines, they don't make as much as a presence as the D4000's have been making. But that's just me. Maybe 553 Bridgeton can touch base on it.

I thought we got our 4500s back from them...

 

Should also mention I haven't seen 1 Designline on MyBusNow in about a week. Either they're keeping them on the 13x routes (which they never do) or something's up...

Yeah we did get a few back from Egg Harbor.

 

Same here, I've been watching the 67 like a security guard on MyBusNow looking for a DesignLine. You may be right since the last time I was saw one (2 weeks ago, 7201) it was on the 139. They might still be running on the 68 and 138. I'm going to be traveling along Rt 18 a lot the next two weeks so I might see one during both rush hours.

 

I'm pretty sure Howell doesn't run that.

They don't... that's run by Meadowlands, but Howell sometimes helps Meadowlands and vice-versa.

Might be out on the 12x/13x routes, I didn't think they were actually on MyBusNow considering that they are still pretty new.

They are Clever Device equipped, you can see the touchscreen next to the steering wheel. It's not like MTA Bus Time where the buses can go a long time after delivery without GPS (as in what happened with the newest MCIs) because MTA installs the equipment, the Clever Devices are installed at the manufacturer and ready to go right when they're delivered and since we use their tracking service the newest buses will be on MyBusNow right away.
