Unless another one was retired or is used as a parts bus. Not 100% certain, but I heard that 7115 also retired without making it to MTA. So the 15 buses to MTA would be 7101-7108, 7110-7114, 7117-7118 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe they are reserving that for something else...... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before they were rejected they were supposed to be 2251-2268. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

checkmatechamp13 Posted May 8 Share #3833 Posted May 8 Which lines are considered Passaic County vs. Bergen County? (I know right now they have the 700-series routes that aren't operated by NJT, but I thought they were all operated in one contract out of a garage in Paramus) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I know right now they have the 700-series routes that aren't operated by NJT, but I thought they were all operated in one contract out of a garage in Paramus) Remember Saddle River Tours won the contract and ended up running the Bergen County routes years ago, but most of us know what happened to them that NJT had to take back the routes and buses. If they were in good standards, they would probably run both the Passaic and Bergen county routes respectively. Coach USA - Community took over the Bergen routes along with the buses. Both county lines and buses were all under one roof in Paramus. Before Saddle River, Academy Express ran the Bergen county routes. Well at least the 30 something buses that Academy are gonna take from CUSA- Community will look sharp exterior wise and clean ads compared to NJT Market St garage. If there wasn't a bidder out there for the contract and CUSA went defunct, NJT would not have a choice but to take the routes back and give it to Market Street garage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJT doesn't want to fund private carriers unless absolutely necessary because some of those operators are only marginally cheaper in operating cost than NJT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JLiu15 Posted May 18 Share #3843 Posted May 18 According to a Howell driver, the leased MCI buses from 2006 were actually originally numbered 9054-9073. In 2007 they were renumbered to 7101-7120 to tell them apart from the 2006 D4500CLs. Little is known about these buses since they were only at NJT for two years. Can anyone confirm if this is true? Thanks! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks! Those buses was from company called “Trentway-wagar” until the 2007-08 D4500CLs “7121-7187” arrived. They had lavs and some was based at Howell and some Meadowlands. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have confirmation on if they're numbered 9054-9073 before 2007? They were originally those numbers before being renumbered to 7101-7120 in 2007 according to a driver from Howell. Just wanted to get another source to confirm since I never heard of them having those numbers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I don’t know the numbers from the company they were leased from but in njt service they was 7101-7120. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
