DaTransitMan4608 Posted November 30, 2011 Share #1 Posted November 30, 2011 I just finished reading a thread in the Bus Manfacturing Industry board and saw that (NJT) is possibly going to get some Millenium buses somewhere between 2012-2018. One thing I am wondering is if they will end up replacing the MCI D4000s. IMO I hope this doesn't happen. They should leave replacing the D4000s up to MCI.

553 Bridgeton Posted November 30, 2011 Share #2 Posted November 30, 2011 Well hopefully that ain't the case. Njt is best fit with mcis, But maybe they want a change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wonders if Millennium is doing Motor Coaches than keeping with transits. Lets remember that Mill just got back from Chapter 12 (apparently), have an order with MTA coming up, and now they want to do Motor Coaches? And whatever happened to Designline? We haven't see those yet or heard ANYTHING in the last 2 months or so besides that schematic that was shown at the APTA. So..........who's to say what's really gonna happen.

SirJokaPlaya Posted December 2, 2011 Share #8 Posted December 2, 2011 Prevost? This is NJT, not MTA. NJT will get the cheapest stuff, not the most expensive like MTA did. I'll bet you that MTA could of gotten MCI's instead of the new Prevosts since MCI's are cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metsfan Posted December 4, 2011 Share #9 Posted December 4, 2011 This is NJT they will get the cheapest stuff? Since when? I guess you have not been looking at the rail ops in a while, or light rail for that matter. The 416 order was NOT cheap, they had the original design modified to save weight. The changes help those busses accelerate fairly well and hold highway speeds easily. NJT is looking to shake things up, and i bet you those MCI's are next to go when they get approval for funding the next bus order. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted December 4, 2011 Share #10 Posted December 4, 2011 Incase you haven't noticed those changes caused those nabis to be complete JUNK! You shorten a bus n now they have serious crowding issues. They are light as a feather, drive like crap in the wind, feel like they are falling apart on most roads.That zf tranny is a fail. Yeah I could go on for days..... The mcis now were supposed to get rehabbed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
