qjtransitmaster Posted September 19, 2014 Share #1152 Posted September 19, 2014 NJ Transit's latest procurement updates, replacing all of the D4000s with 45 foot coach buses and to replace all of the single-level cars with multi-level cars. Also, MyTix to expand to buses. http://www.app.com/story/news/traffic/2014/09/08/nj-transit-set-hire-second-command/15316249/ About time!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted September 23, 2014 Share #1157 Posted September 23, 2014 Now i knew i wasnt trippen. Im at the port now. I saw it on MyBus. (I'm kinda mad I'm checking this shit out while at the West Coast lol) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTransitMan4608 Posted September 23, 2014 Share #1158 Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) 9047? Isn't that one of Meadowlands' buses? I guess they needed someone to cover the 111 and he was the only one with nothing to do. Speaking of Ironbound, is their garage okay for 45ft buses? Seeing as how we're getting all D4500CTs to replace the D4000s and Oradell has an issue with space for their buses, I'm wondering if Ironbound will be okay since they're an all D4000 garage.

BZGuy Posted September 24, 2014 Share #1159 Posted September 24, 2014 Meadowlands and Howell help out on the 111 during the AM Rush. PMs sees the addition of Greenville helping. Sometimes other garages help too. A friend of mine at Fairview has gone to JG in the morning after his run....and Wayne has helped too. Interestly enough Wayne helped on the 126 tonight with 7886. I'm sure the 126 will see all kinds of help until the PATH gets restored. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a 409 breaks down in trenton or needs help newton has to send a diff driver. Hamilton is not allowed to help on the 409. Due to there union difference. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode on 1349 & 1338 was also on 126. I was able to get some pics. Edited September 24, 2014 by jayden 973 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Fairview was the only TWU depot in the state, the rest are ATU and either way they're allowed ro help out on each other's routes. Look at the 128, Fairview has Howell and Meadowlands helping out every day. It's MTA Bus where things aren't so nice between ATU and TWU. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pjbr40 Posted September 26, 2014 Share #1166 Posted September 26, 2014 was in philly the other day and i noticed two things. Market Street East rail station got changed to Jefferson. Also i never expect anyone with stupidity idea of putting an ad on the bus ceiling(inside) by the wheelchair access. one question for the drivers-- does 551 ever get an overload? every time i take this bus (every 6 months) i rarely see this bus get filled up to the max. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted September 26, 2014 Share #1167 Posted September 26, 2014 It depends. The 551 doesnt carry heavy. In the summer months its packed and runs every 1/2hr. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess would be to cater to casino employees, which IINM is a 24/7, or just about, operation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How come other casinos like in CT don't have 24/7 service? Even PA does it with their 37 bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orion VII 4 Life Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share #1174 Posted September 28, 2014 Word is meadowlands is gona become a CNG MCI garage. They'd have to build a CNG station there, and they'd have to be getting a lot of fed money for that cause if it wasn't for them there wouldn't even be new CNGs coming. The original plan was to retire the CNGs with more diesels until the feds gave funding to keep going with CNG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSCTTNJ Posted September 28, 2014 Share #1175 Posted September 28, 2014 I had heard that Meadowlands & Egg Harbor were getting hybrid MCI's.Things in NJT land are subject tochange thou. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
