RFP is expected on 5/24/2022. Oh really? Starting to get tired of seeing these 7100s/9000s 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJT's resources are very thin and if the private sector is providing a service, they will try and avoid competing with them. If Suburban does keep this kind of schedule indefinitely, there definitely is a need for local bus service between NB and Princeton along 27. Once every 2 hours doesnt cut it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawrence St Posted April 9, 2022 Share #2553 Posted April 9, 2022 Surprised no one mentioned this, Oradell got flooded AGAIN and there was a mix of XD60’s and NABI’s on the 167/177. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jass Posted April 19, 2022 Share #2554 Posted April 19, 2022 Question about the NJT excursion tickets between NYC and AC. Hypothetically, could one buy the excursion ticket (round trip) and use them one-way with a second person? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tranzitfan81 Posted April 20, 2022 Share #2556 Posted April 20, 2022 I am beginning to see some rare sights on mybusnow out of South Jersey these days. Since this new schedule change, 5300s are showing up on the 551 and 554. It has been almost every day during the week since the schedule change. Really all of the MCI routes out of Turnersville are seeing 5300s more often. Also, the reverse effect still happens and MCIs show up on the 400, 403 and 459. It seems like loans from up the freeway ( Newton Avenue) only seem to be a night and weekend thing now. Tonight, 19134 is on the 554 which is rare; over the weekend the 400 had a couple of 5900s. 18129 was on the 406 last week during the evening. Makes me wonder how they're going to make it through when the 316 starts back up for the summer. It would be nice if a few 22000s were sent to help out during the summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The formans at Washington Twp as assigning certain mcis runs with nabis. Reason? There is a part shortage with new mcis. Some of those 16-22 series are out there with worn brake pads. That’s as far as I’ll say on that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence St Posted April 21, 2022 Share #2561 Posted April 21, 2022 Yeah the southern is a mess right now. One garage is short three 18XXX series after those 2 incidents. There’s even been a NABI popping up on the 317 lately, and apparently one ran on the 319 from Toms River to NY a few months ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jass Posted April 26, 2022 Share #2567 Posted April 26, 2022 Why are there little buses in Atlantic City, presumably 30 feet? Only one door, are they insane? My bus (505) was standing room. Also, instead of having a ledge to place bags, there is just a ton of wasted unusable space between the wheel column and the first seat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that NJT isn't used to operating that close to the margins, but I suspect that most companies will be there this summer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They used to run Flexs on the 504 and 505. When that issue happened transit got the 30ft novas with 2 doors and then 31ft nabis with 1 door. They was to run more 505s and have most of the service end in Margate at Franklin Av. Service past Franklin Av is really during peak hours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The folks from ML that we’re with us we’re cross trained on the 1 & 25 lines because they had to get artic wildcatting in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
