pjbr40 Posted December 11, 2014 Share #1301 Posted December 11, 2014 Today 12-11 i saw a transdev NjTransit NABI bus off course. I was walking along Front Street between Red Bank and Middletown This was app.1145 am. On the back of the bus it show either 832 or 833. I hope that driver didn't cross the bridge near the NJCL trestle track. Also i noticed the flasher light was on too. That was strange. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then again it might be the bus driver's. If that's the case, he's grilled cheese. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's the case, he's grilled cheese. Regardless of who is at fault, I feel bad for the injured passengers. I've rarely seen an MCI with that much damage 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlashThunder Posted December 28, 2014 Share #1315 Posted December 28, 2014 Bit messy evening at PABT today. Seems like many buses were either running really late or just did not run at all. Buses from Meadowlands were covering for 166 Local this evening... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silk City Transit Posted January 9, 2015 Share #1319 Posted January 9, 2015 Control Center was telling Howell operators to return CNG buses to the garage rather than park them at Weehawken this morning. Wonder why that was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaTransitMan4608 Posted January 9, 2015 Share #1320 Posted January 9, 2015 Control Center was telling Howell operators to return CNG buses to the garage rather than park them at Weehawken this morning. Wonder why that was.They didn't say whether it was 7000s or 72XX-73XX did they? If they're talking about the older ones then that could mean a few things, 1. They're getting ready to scrap them. 2. They need to check the fuel tanks. 3. All the CTs arrived which brings us back to reason # 1. If they're talking about the new CTs: 1. Those electrical problems Cait was talking about may have found their way to NJTs batch of CTs. 2. Same as previous reason # 2. 3. They may have found an issue with one of the newer buses so they want to check all of them to be on the safe side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonna try and get one for the ride back tomorrow morning.If you want to ride one your best bet is to wait until PM rush. They tend to run them Southbound around that time, but they're unpredictable so watch MyBusNow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think I seen any old CNGs out at all so I guess they're really starting to go.. Edited January 9, 2015 by Orion VII 4 Life 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted January 9, 2015 Author Share #1324 Posted January 9, 2015 7278 on point.. no comparing to the DesignLine Eco Crap. Smooth ride with some great sounds. Mad comfy too, the seats aren't even that hard like the DLs and recline just like on the other MCIs. Just a little upset there's no outlets in the back row like the MTAs but whatever, its a damn good bus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the announcer said was "All Howell operators with CNG buses." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
