So does anyone here know what the actual fleet number is of the new Gilligs and the early 1800's. From the info that was shared in this forum, this is what I compiled:

'22 Gilligs: 2087-2107, 2109-2110, 2113-2114, 2116-2117 (27 but it seems sort of right)

'10 Orions: 1810-1815, 1817-1822, 1824-1825, 1829-1837, 1839 (24 but extremely skeptical of this)

For those in the know, please add any corrections to the list I put here.

I have the correct fleet numbers:

 

ACTIVE 1800s: 1810-1815, 1817-1822, 1824-1825, 1829-1830, 1833-1837, 1839, 22 units

1831-1832 just retired

 

2022 Gilligs: 2086-2118, so far 2086-2110 and 2112 have entered passenger service

I would also like to inform you that buses 1862, 1886, 1889, 1897 and 2016 have been taken off the roster due to accidents, 1877 is back in service, I saw it on the n70 back in February with a broken tracker

So for the first time in NICE history, a New Flyer XN60 operates on a route that is NOT the n6X Express or the n88☀️, today 1969 ran in passenger service on the n43, the clever device on 1969 was not working meaning that it couldn’t be tracked. This was a very interesting appearance today on the n43

As of 4/27/2023, 2116 has officially entered passenger service, it debuted service on the n22 and n20H routes today. I also got some news that as part of pick 223, the n75 pilot route will be discontinued on 5/26/2023.

 

So I’m assuming that route didn’t do too well?

I noticed that NICE gets away with running dog crap service on the n4x specifically. It is not uncommon to wait for the n4x just for it not to show up forcing everyone to use the n4 regular. I was waiting for the 8:07 AM n4x out of Jamaica and it never showed up. It is also not unusual for the last n4x out of Jamaica in the morning at 10:03AM not to show up or in some cases come up to 10 minutes later than expected. I rarely experience lateness issues with the regular n4 from Jamaica.

^^^ Damn, IIRC the N33 only uses one bus so that route basically had no service after that bus got into a accident. Yikes at the ppl who rely on that route as they likely had no notice that this accident happened.

Was thinking the exact same thing.... Those people are shit outta luck.

What is with all these buses having broken glass and missing parts? There's no way all these buses have that many problems...
