553 Bridgeton Posted August 2, 2014 Share #1027 Posted August 2, 2014 Some runs are not on mybus. If the op puts the clever device in manual mode it wont pop up. Every run is not setup in schedule mode to show up on my bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbr40 Posted August 2, 2014 Share #1028 Posted August 2, 2014 oh ok i forgot to mention this bus didn't have clever device. he had to talk manual for any hot spot. Also on that bus there was a lot of ticking noise when it delayed the recording. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaTransitMan4608 Posted August 3, 2014 Share #1033 Posted August 3, 2014 I can see NJT doing the same thing with the CLs that Amtrak is doing with the HHP-8s. Retiring them early because of their maintenance problems. But I don't see it happening anytime soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MCI better not screw up with these CNG's coming in or forget any future orders for any type of bus. Competition is getting hot with Prevost and the new owners of Designline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what NJT wants on these buses they should not burst into flames. There is a problem with them getting too hot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a problem with them getting too hot.The new MCIs shouldn't have an issue. I've rarely heard about MCIs with Cummins engines having overheating problems. Speaking of which has anyone seen them lately? I'm also wondering with Howell getting 148 CNGs does that mean they're gonna put some out on the weekends? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why MTA's C40LFs and the Designline CNGs got those roof scoops, for air circulation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted August 4, 2014 Share #1040 Posted August 4, 2014 The actual issue is the rear design. Even with the new vent placement they will still get hot. That rear design needs to change. Njt specs there buses to death, they screw themselves over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZGuy Posted August 4, 2014 Share #1041 Posted August 4, 2014 The CATs are the worse possible engine for the type of highway and stop and go service that NJT does. Add to the fact that NJT keeps messing with the buses doesn't help things either. At least they know its a problem and the re-engineing should happen once the new CNGs come in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

553 Bridgeton Posted August 5, 2014 Share #1045 Posted August 5, 2014 Saw an ex rockland cusa njt bus doing a charter in ac. Interesting our buses are getting ran down doing charters especially by academy and many njt garages are short on mcis. But its the the only way njt can keep competition at bay. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kinda surprised, they seem to have a lot of (pretty nice looking) Prevosts for their charters. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
