busdude2 Posted August 30, 2013 Share #327 Posted August 30, 2013 Actually, some 7400s, 8200s are D4500 and they are at Howell Regardless of what garage they are assigned to, check this out: http://ttmg.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=New_Jersey_Transit_Bus_Operations_Fleet_Roster#Motor_Coach_Industries Looking at the NJT MCI roster it says 2 units retired. Anyone know what numbers they were ? I'm guessing due to accidents or fire. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's way more than that now, since the Designline EcoCoach buses are replacing them right now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Academy) - Accident on Rt. 9 Anybody know whats going on with Howell's 7475, the one that caught on fire at the beginning of the year on the 139? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was 8592 that got into the accident on Route 9 with the School bus.

And here we are stuck in this shitstorm smh.You would think they'd do a better job impressing charter customers with a nicer bus than a publicly-owned commuter bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTransitMan4608 Posted September 1, 2013 Share #338 Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Smfh Academy don't deserve to have those buses. They could've sent those buses to Howell, but no. They had to use em' for a charter instead . And what sucks is that the general public doesn't give a damn. Hopefully the riders on that charter recognized the seat designs and thought "hmm, I don't think this bus belongs to Academy....." I saw one of OceanRide's Orion V's today. Those things look really old. And there was nobody on them. Edited September 1, 2013 by Transitkid4608 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had black around the windows and a red and orange stripe below the windows that said "OceanRide" smack in the middle of the stripes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mfs NJT459 Posted September 1, 2013 Share #344 Posted September 1, 2013 With Labor Day weekend, I found out that Meadowlands will not be sending any of their buses to Cape May for the 319 special schedule on Labor Day... Egg Harbor will be handling all the extra service including the 3 super express trips from Cape May to New York, as well as the 319 local trips to AC then continuing to New York w/o stopping at Toms River (Posted to Dropbox so these schedules can be accessed year round) Sat 8/31 and Sun 9/1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/04m3nt1ihx040lz/T0319.pdf Labor Day 9/2: https://www.dropbox.com/s/ivzvahzptumr4gt/LAB319.pdf 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
