GojiMet86 Posted May 17, 2014 Share #726 Posted May 17, 2014 This question is not exactly related to New Jersey Transit, but this is the closest I can get. Does anyone know what specific model RTS #30615 from Olympia Trails is? I don't know if it's a T80-206 RTS or something else like a T4J or along those lines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busdude2 Posted May 19, 2014 Share #730 Posted May 19, 2014 Ive seen the 126 some of those turns are tight but not impossible. If you can move around in pabt you can drive a 45' anywhere. The key is mirrors thats it and shoulder your turn, aka box your turn. The problem is alot of drivers make it hard by not following the basics. However boxing doesnt apply to every turn. Right now at 611pm there are 19 buses on the 126 including mci 7788. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted May 20, 2014 Share #731 Posted May 20, 2014 7757 was on the 114, the one with the new signs. My god, they look pretty sweet. Missed it twice in both directions, ugh.On another note...this 1413 hauled some serious ass! https://soundcloud.com/shane-ramkissoon/new-jersey-transit-1999-novabus-rts-06-1413 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlashThunder Posted May 21, 2014 Share #732 Posted May 21, 2014 A small commotion at PABT tonight Around 10:20PM, as 8983 (166T) was backing out, the bus hit 5261(126) on the side. It made some loud noises and scared many people on the bus. (I was on 166T) Part of 8983's rear bumper fell off and one of the side panel next to rear door on 5261 got damaged (btw 5261 looked beat to hell, even before this accident) Immediately, bus drivers from both buses got out and assess the situation. But the problem began here... B/O closed the door to our bus and when another 166T pulled up at 323, many people wanted to get out but didn't know how to open the door. Some passengers tried to use the emergency opening mechanism on top of the door but it didn't work. They decided to use the honk to gain the attention of B/O and other supervisors... after trapping us on the bus for about 20 minutes. The real commotion began when passengers from our bus began to complain to the poor driver who had no idea what was going on. I honestly felt bad for this driver because he had nothing to do with it. In the end, I came home on a very packed bus (63 passengers... I think we need more D4500 on oradell lines) and a customer that never stopped complaining to the poor bus driver. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfs NJT459 Posted May 21, 2014 Share #733 Posted May 21, 2014 apparently a bus in Millville hit a pedestrian tonight as well, not sure if it was 408 or 553 http://www.nbc40.net/story/25571219/pedestrian-hit-by-nj-transit-bus-in-millville 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I was on 166T) Part of 8983's rear bumper fell off and one of the side panel next to rear door on 5261 got damaged (btw 5261 looked beat to hell, even before this accident) Part of the problem up there is that NJT drivers don't want to give way to buses backing out. I've seen near misses lots of times. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjbr40 Posted May 22, 2014 Share #737 Posted May 22, 2014 i read on sub chat that some analysis said that NJT train can run along the PATH. Yeah right the tunell is way to small and too many sharp turn that rail cars will all be bang up. Also i read that Orlando will have first America Maglev 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silk City Transit Posted May 23, 2014 Share #740 Posted May 23, 2014 7840 from Oradell covered a trip on the 186 this morning from Dumont to the bridge. Oradell also covered a trip yesterday morning on the 145 but I forgot the bus number. I operated both trips. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BZGuy Posted May 23, 2014 Share #742 Posted May 23, 2014 I wonder if it would be worth it to convert these to diesel. Being rush hour only units they can't have that much mileage on them plus it would definatly help out with the MCI shortage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

553 Bridgeton Posted May 24, 2014 Share #745 Posted May 24, 2014 Have those CNGs ever seen full time service on the 139? Not from what ive seen. They usually run them alot on the weekend 139s. But now ive been seeing the 45fters. The way how they run them i can see them doing the same with new cngs to come. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted May 24, 2014 Share #746 Posted May 24, 2014 (edited) Another question, which way did those 134 ops deadhead into Lower Manhattan? Holland or Lincoln Tunnel? I've seen them take some odd ways going through to Greenwich Street. Edited May 24, 2014 by Cait Sith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weekends it's all 4500s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I member seeing a memo saying we couldnt go through even if we were detoured. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Q101 E Midtown Posted May 24, 2014 Share #749 Posted May 24, 2014 Cant go through the holland tunnel. I member seeing a memo saying we couldnt go through even if we were detoured. But then if the Lincoln Tunnel were not a reasonable option, they'd have to go through Brooklyn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZGuy Posted May 24, 2014 Share #750 Posted May 24, 2014 Cant go through the holland tunnel. I member seeing a memo saying we couldnt go through even if we were detoured. I don't know if that's still in effect. Guys from Howell and Ironbound do it during the rush to avoid the backups on 495 during the PM rush. I think the new CNGs will be out all day from now on. The problem with the 7000s is that they have small tanks so they don't have enough fuel to stay on a all day 139 run. The new D4500s don't have that problem. Now if they are gonna be running these on the 128 I would love to know if MCI has fixed the "2 standee" problem on the new CNGs 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
