BZGuy Posted October 10, 2012 Share #1 Posted October 10, 2012 I decided to start a thread on this subject because there seem to be alot of weird equipment sightings lately. Example......today 7121 (a Meadowlands D4500) was operating in service on the 111 (and Ironbound rte) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiXxDiDdY Posted October 10, 2012 Share #2 Posted October 10, 2012 A while ago I saw a 5600-series Ironbound NABI (cant remember the exact number) on the 94 (an Orange garage route). And every so often now I see a Nova on the 66. Strange since Ironbound has no Novas in their garage last time I checked.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuBus Posted October 11, 2012 Share #3 Posted October 11, 2012 like a week ago the 320 line using a suburban nabi (medowlands)and i was thinking no way in hell that is a reasonable equipment for rush hour because it is always uses mci buses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashThunder Posted October 12, 2012 Share #4 Posted October 12, 2012 saw Neoplan Artic on 321. It was struggling to keep up with the traffic on the turnpike... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJokaPlaya Posted October 13, 2012 Share #5 Posted October 13, 2012 Reasons available: - Original bus broke down, and the closest garage gave them the only bus they got - Not enough buses due to maintenance, so they use whatever available (I've done different routes with the wrong buses, it is normal at times) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go25 Posted October 16, 2012 Share #6 Posted October 16, 2012 I have seen a couple of years ago 2 MCIs at Hilton garage and that was definetly a rare but odd sighting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SirJokaPlaya Posted October 16, 2012 Share #8 Posted October 16, 2012 whatever can be used to get people to where they need to do, NJT will use it. Flx on the 319, MCI on the 123, Neo on the 167, whatever that can be used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyctRman1278 Posted October 16, 2012 Share #9 Posted October 16, 2012 NJT Neoplan 3531 had clever devices and some NABIs in newark saying watch out bus is turning then said the same thing in spanish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyctRman1278 Posted October 17, 2012 Share #10 Posted October 17, 2012 O and 1426 Novabus RTS on Route 39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiXxDiDdY Posted October 17, 2012 Share #11 Posted October 17, 2012 O and 1426 Novabus RTS on Route 39 Is 1426 from Hilton or Orange?! If Hilton, they along with Big Tree use Novas/NABIs on the 13 & 39 a lot on off-peak hours and weekends lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
go25 Posted October 18, 2012 Share #12 Posted October 18, 2012 Remember 39 is Hilton's route so to see a RTS or a Crapi serving it is pretty normal (also same goes for the 13, Hilton & Big Tree share it). Also i have seen numerous times a Neoplan (9510, 9508, 9513) on the 99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

553 Bridgeton Posted October 22, 2012 Share #24 Posted October 22, 2012 Yupp. I dont do locals so i know when they beg me to do so I know we have a shortage. But hey that was extra $$$ in my pocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTransitMan4608 Posted October 22, 2012 Share #25 Posted October 22, 2012 yeah your right so NJT has a shortage of buses and drivers it seems ehh? Yup. That's the case with the 817. One oddball sighting for me is when I see those CUSA NABIs doing the Newark Airport Express. It just seems odd to me that they would use a Transit bus for that purpose.
