The first Academy was inspected yesterday. So looks like Trans Bridge now has seven buses, 19031-19037.

davemackey Posted December 10, 2018 Share #452 Posted December 10, 2018 All the Academy buses have been delivered and most have been inspected (19064 and 19066 have not). I haven't seen any down around the Toms River area so I'm guessing the northern terminals (Perth Amboy in particular) should be getting the bulk of them. As MCI is on their traditional Christmas break (three weeks), I don't expect any more new buses until at least February. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted December 15, 2018 Share #454 Posted December 15, 2018 Whoa there! Check the date. That was the additional 332 buses approved for private carriers three years ago, in 2016. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron2themax Posted December 20, 2018 Share #456 Posted December 20, 2018 Wayne Garage has now some of the newer MCIs. They have bus 17185 which was on bus route 193 this rush hour morning. I saw bus 19070 on 190X New York Exp by my house this morning. I've checked "My Bus" and so far they have buses 19068 and 19072 which was on bus routes 192X and 197 respectively. They sounded crisp. I'll keep my eyes peeled for more coming in 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted December 28, 2018 Share #457 Posted December 28, 2018 My numbers may be off by one because of a missing VIN for the Trans-Bridge portion of the order, which would give them only 6 buses, which seems correct. By my count, through 19096 is on the property. There is a new block of VINs which if they belong to NJ Transit would take them to bus 19115. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing NJ Transit - Wayne Garage will take all of those new VINs to bus 19115. Bus 19091 was on bis route 192 this morning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted January 12, 2019 Share #459 Posted January 12, 2019 Confirmed all this info on the 19000's today. 19001-19030 are Rockland Coaches 19031-19037 are Trans-Bridge Lines. They did get 7 buses, one more than they were scheduled to get. Both 19031 and 19037 confirmed on the Trans-Bridge Lines app. 19038-19067 are Academy. 19051, 19056 and 19057, possibly also those buses in between, are running out of Toms River. The higher numbers are running out of Westampton. 19068-19097 are running out of Wayne Garage. Some buses of this batch received their state inspections at Newton Ave. Garage. 19098 delivered but I don't believe it's run in revenue anywhere. 19099-19117 are presumably built but have not been delivered to NJT yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coach 19098 is now running. Seen it on MyBus this afternoon on line 190D. So basically it belongs to Wayne. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted January 18, 2019 Share #462 Posted January 18, 2019 Another fresh batch of D4500CT VINs have been unearthed that would take us to 19134.... we'll see if NJT is getting all those buses, or they're earmarked for someone else.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted January 23, 2019 Share #463 Posted January 23, 2019 We got new buses.... 19099-19103 are inspected & ready to go. 19102 and 19103 just got their stickers this morning. I think 19104 is in process of being inspected. They generally do three buses a day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted January 25, 2019 Share #464 Posted January 25, 2019 As of today through 19108 are inspected and ready to go. The last four buses were inspected at Wayne Garage so I'm assuming that's their assignment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still see a good number of Wayne's footy footers roaming around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted February 1, 2019 Share #470 Posted February 1, 2019 Wayne should now be up to 19114. The next six buses in line were inspected and passed yesterday. All assigned to Wayne. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one of the 7100s there has two decals on both sides😁 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted February 12, 2019 Share #472 Posted February 12, 2019 New VINs up for D4500CT's. If they're all for NJT that takes us to 19172. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish Market St can get some of those. Sick of their dirty well worn Nabi suburbans. If only you guys see how Market St treats the exterior of those buses purposely and the interior on some. Anyhow, Oradell's MCIs are in bad shape yet still kicking aspalt. They desperately could use those 45 footers at their base on their busy routes to handle capacity issues, but due to the Garages limit space capacity and tight turns it may not be feesible 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted February 21, 2019 Share #474 Posted February 21, 2019 Wayne got 19068-19117. 50 buses exactly. A bus which is probably 19118 was inspected yesterday at Newton Ave. which might be its assignment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
