DaTransitMan4608 Posted April 22, 2013 Share #129 Posted April 22, 2013 Guys I seriously believe that NJT is getting NABIs up to at least 64XX. They have to replace CUSA ONE's Novas which are in bad shape, and Hilton still has their RTS fleet. But I don't think they'll replace those right away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirJokaPlaya Posted April 23, 2013 Share #130 Posted April 23, 2013 No it was coming down 79 south of Freehold Center, it was a 130/2/9. Meadowlands can do the 139 if there is a need for drivers. Don't forget that in case there was a bus breakdown near Meadowlands, they could use a Meadowlands bus to do the route. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share #131 Posted April 23, 2013 Guys I seriously believe that NJT is getting NABIs up to at least 64XX. They have to replace CUSA ONE's Novas which are in bad shape, and Hilton still has their RTS fleet. But I don't think they'll replace those right away. AFAIK no options (if there are any) have been exercised except for whatever ones that brought the order into the 6300s. The CUSA units can be replaced by the NJT rehabbed RTS', plenty are still around and I'm sure the ones in storage by Meadowlands can easily re-enter service. As for Hilton and Orange and whoever else might still have rehabbed units they could get Clever Devices and stay in service, or they could (like I've thought about before) take the PBLs' NABIs and send them the rehabbed RTS in exchange. There's plenty of rehabbed units to go around, only question is will the NABIs at the PBLs right now be enough to replace all the remaining RTS running with NJT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joel Up Front Posted April 23, 2013 Share #132 Posted April 23, 2013 Is the Manhattan Transfer station still standing? I literally couldn't find anything on Google, but apparently a tower nearby is still there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinePower Posted April 24, 2013 Share #133 Posted April 24, 2013 I was researching Long Beach Island which seems to be a popular summer hotspot, but am quite surprised NJ Transit doesn't have any buses going there. You'd have to get off the 559 and walk down 72 a long ways across 2 bridges and through the middle of nowhere. Surprising, considering these buses would be well patronized if they ran summer weekends. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted April 24, 2013 Author Share #134 Posted April 24, 2013 Just a little insight on the Clever Devices turn warning system for anyone who's curioslus as to how it works, I know there's been some debate. An "optical sensor" detects when the bus is turning and plays the announcement on the external speaker. http://www.cleverdevices.com/pedestrian-warning.htm Posted this in the NICE random thoughts thread as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaTransitMan4608 Posted April 28, 2013 Share #144 Posted April 28, 2013 whats the garage name that is at the doorstep of the Lincoln tunnel? That's not a garage actually. It's a lot where buses layover until it's time start their runs out of the PABT. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion VII 4 Life Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share #145 Posted April 28, 2013 whats the garage name that is at the doorstep of the Lincoln tunnel?It's just a storage lot for buses going to the PABT to park in before going to the city or after they've completed a run. It's just called the Weehawken Lot IIRC, that's what buses going up there have on their signs "WEEHAWKEN LOT-NO PASSENGERS". 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
