B35 via Church Posted May 24, 2014 Share #751 Posted May 24, 2014 But then if the Lincoln Tunnel were not a reasonable option, they'd have to go through Brooklyn. ...which I've actually seen. 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. While I simply don't know what garage the buses were out of, or why they did it - But I can definitely say that it was rather common to see NJT's MCI's approaching the Holland, when I would walk to Battery pl. from the Village (when I still worked in Manhattan) to catch the BM's for my commute home).... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 There not suppose to be deadheading through there. Get into an accident and there goes your job. The memo posted says for all garages inculding eht. Its one of those things you do and nothing happens cool, but the second something happens, you cant say well they did it too, cause now your getting fired not the others. Anyways we here at eht maybe getting the 551/554 from twp. Edited May 24, 2014 by 553 Bridgeton 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's known that it goes on but as long as they don't get a ticket or have an accident then nobody cares. Losing the 551 and 554 is a big deal for Washington Twp. Is this a spilt or outright transfer of these routes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this mean Twp is sending buses to the Harbor? Looks like I'm gonna see more NABIs on the 406 Will this happen for the June 20 schedule change? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

553 Bridgeton Posted May 27, 2014 Share #764 Posted May 27, 2014 The operator is destroyed. He did all he could not to hit them. The girl that died was the niece of another operator, he came in earlier and broke down, couldn't work.

Orion VII 4 Life Posted May 30, 2014 Author Share #766 Posted May 30, 2014 (edited) Looks like Coach now owns some of its Novas and they won't be retiring. 1557/31557 is on the EWR Express and has "owned and operated by Orange Newark Elizabeth Bus" on the side and an Illinois tag. I'm guessing the prime use for them will be EWR service now. Edited May 30, 2014 by Orion VII 4 Life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Academy's got that contract, figured it'd just be the usual Orions with maybe a few of their own RTS/LFS or D60LFs.

You have Blackburg Transit D40LFs, D35LFs and Gilligs. All the way from VIRGINIA! You have ex-Fairfax Connector Orion Vs. You also have private shuttle operators out there, there's quite a few with beat up Vanhools doing the shuttle. A whooooooooooooooooooooooole lot more! Like I said, gold mine!!! I was working at a hotel near the airport. I was able to see everything out there. Edited May 31, 2014 by Cait Sith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rutgers Eldorados aren't there because they aren't Academy's... but dammmn, sounds like they either contracted out a lot of the work to other companies or borrowed a crap ton of buses. Are Academy people still driving most of them? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are Academy people still driving most of them? That I don't know. I worked 2 days around the airport from two different hotels. I couldn't tell who was driving them. All I know is that the Shuttles to NWK Penn are packed as all hell. I had to travel home through it to NJ Transit Rail...I hate the McCarter Highway traffic. What I do know about those buses are that they don't go to Newark. It seems like those are shuttles within the airport. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aahhh, they're probably like the shuttles at JFK then with their Gilligs and D40LFs and all that (the operator might be Golden Touch then). So the buses to Penn are the usual Port Authority Orions then? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This seems to be a multi-contract deal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
