Orion VII 4 Life Posted March 1, 2013 Share #101 Posted March 1, 2013 I'm on Academy 8580 on the 139 right now, it has the Clever Devices though again no LED sign in the front. They're calling out stops now too. Another thing, I think now with the Clever Devices Academy 139 runs won't be signed up as 51x because this is signed up as just "PORT AUTHORITY" and 139 PORT AUTHORITY on the side. And yes it makes the door announcement, even says Welcome Aboard New Jersey Transit. I wonder if they'll program the Wall Street routes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan833Blue Posted March 6, 2013 Share #102 Posted March 6, 2013 I rode MCI D4000 #7663 today on the 127; that bus has the Clever Devices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashThunder Posted March 9, 2013 Share #103 Posted March 9, 2013 Buses from Oradell are getting clever devices. 7836 has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted March 9, 2013 Share #104 Posted March 9, 2013 Sounds like they're serious about getting BusTime running around the state in the spring. Not all the RTSs will be retired by then, but I guess if they're all at the PBLs then they can roll it out statewide on time. Don't know about the MCI CNGs either, I don't see any Designlines out besides 7202 so those could definitely still be around by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJokaPlaya Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share #105 Posted March 10, 2013 I wonder the frequency of complaints on the hoity toity lines with those clever devices (129/166/167/190/130's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted March 10, 2013 Share #106 Posted March 10, 2013 I wonder the frequency of complaints on the hoity toity lines with those clever devices (129/166/167/190/130's) I can only imagine, especially now that the 139 is fully programmed. Took 7115 in on the 139 today and every stop got called out and showed up on the LED sign, but I think they might have changed the frequency of the random announcements, to me it felt longer between announcements on 8580 and 7115.

mfs NJT459 Posted March 14, 2013 Share #108 Posted March 14, 2013 For some reason, I think the "PSA" annoucements that run automatically have been disabled, sure a driver can manually call it up on the touch screen, but i have not heard them for the past week or two Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted March 30, 2013 Share #112 Posted March 30, 2013 Lets face it: all NJT buses are now clever'ed Except MCI CNGs and RTSs lol. Even Academy has a bunch of buses with them for their 139 runs, IDK if the other PBLs will get them that don't run NJT contract services though.

If they're NJT owned, they will at least have a drivecam. Clever, probably not. And, you're right, none on the RTS but that's cuz the RTS will be RIP soon.

go25 Posted March 31, 2013 Share #114 Posted March 31, 2013 this is off topic, but when i was back in NJ my friend from Hilton showed me how the artics there some dont have the Clever Device yet but had cameras slowly getting installed on them, 9549 being the first one (that is based on a driver fresh off a 13 route from Irvington Terminal DH to Hilton ran over a pedestrian at Springfield Ave & New St a while back) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted April 21, 2013 Share #120 Posted April 21, 2013 what about Ironbound's MCI fleet, any word on them getting clevered? Nearly every MCI has them now except Wayne, unless I'm mistaken. Don't know if I mentioned this yet, but the MTA rejects are now doing the "caution bus is turning" crap, been doing it for a few weeks now.

mfs NJT459 Posted April 29, 2013 Share #122 Posted April 29, 2013 All the south jersey MCI's clever devices need to fix the interior and exterior audio when it comes to door announcements and stop to stop announcements I was on the 551 today, and the driver had to manually keep pressing the audio button on his screen multiple times when we approach Avandale or Camden, it seemed to work for some reason when we were at Avandale, which is the volume at max, but not at Camden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
161 New York Posted May 26, 2013 Share #123 Posted May 26, 2013 Most of the equipment used on the 161 buses (Wayne) has the Clever devices... some do not... As long as the volume isn't jarring, I have no complaints aside from the annoying bus is turning messages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QM1to6Ave Posted May 27, 2013 Share #125 Posted May 27, 2013 I took the 167 recently. It had the clever device but no audible announcements whatsoever. Not sure if the B/O turned it off or not. The B/O also happened to get into a fight with one of the passengers over a missed stop LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
