Fan Railer Posted December 2, 2014 Share #52 Posted December 2, 2014 Remind me again; which routes out of Egg Harbor will we likely see these operate? I doubt any of those routes make it up to PABT, do they? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cait Sith Posted December 2, 2014 Author Share #53 Posted December 2, 2014 Remind me again; which routes out of Egg Harbor will we likely see these operate? I doubt any of those routes make it up to PABT, do they? The main order won't be running on the 319 unless something drastic happens. You'll likely see them on the 550s out of Egg Harbor. If they accept the extra 10 buses with lavatories, then we may see them head up to PABT. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt any of those routes make it up to PABT, do they?Youd have to come down here to ride them. 7179-7187 will be limited to the 319 and 553(no 7100 will run the 559)runs. 313/315/316(seasonal)/552/553/559/510(seasonal) and whatever part of the 551/554 we get next summer.

BZGuy Posted December 3, 2014 Share #55 Posted December 3, 2014 Why no 7100s on the 559? Isn't it gonna be hard to pull that off with it being interlined with the 553. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
553 Bridgeton Posted December 3, 2014 Share #56 Posted December 3, 2014 (edited) Not every 553 is interlined with the 559. Some 553 runs are all 559. 1-7 are 553-559, 8 is all 553, 9-11 553-559, 12-14 all 553, 15 553-559, 16-20 all 553, 21 553-559, 22-23 all 553, 24 All 559, 25 all 553, 26-28 553-559, 29-30 all 553, 31 553-559, 32-33 all 553, 34 all 559. Once you add in all trippers which are all 553 trippers its about 50 553 runs. They dont the want 7100s breaking down up in howell land. Cause they keep it and run it into the ground. Right now we dont have a choice cause of the shortage. The pullout guys know which runs are what for the 553. All of this changes on the weekend. You dont have a 1/553, you have 101/553 which is all 553, 2 becomes 3/553, then 202/553 is all 553. The real confusion starts with 30,130,31,131,32,132,133,34; 30,230,31,231,32,232,233,34 Which are weekend runs.

DaTransitMan4608 Posted December 8, 2014 Share #59 Posted December 8, 2014 (edited) 7279 is at HowellThat was quick! I wasn't expecting it until after January! Was there a logo on the front, or did they leave it blank again? Edited December 8, 2014 by Transitkid4608 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BZGuy Posted December 8, 2014 Share #60 Posted December 8, 2014 Blank again. They really need to put the logo on the nose, it doesn't look right without it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaTransitMan4608 Posted December 10, 2014 Share #62 Posted December 10, 2014 7279 was out a while ago on the 136. Looks like they're doing the same thing with the DesignLines and keeping them out during Rush hour only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cait Sith Posted December 13, 2014 Author Share #67 Posted December 13, 2014 (edited) I just hope that they don't get plagued with electrical issues. Coach USA is not too happy with their 13000s they recently received...hence why they're demoing Prevosts for the Shortline division.

Their last MTA order took them about a month to get all 50 or so units here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they have 7279 doing the 136 currently, but I wonder if the others are gonna be restricted to the 139 or put on the other lines as well.

With 10 more on the way at DD/Allison, they'll be anywhere at this rate. Different ops had that 7279, yesterday it did the 139/136/139, a day or two ago it did the 133/136/139. They'll be anywhere at this rate. My question is, how many 7000s are left? Edited December 13, 2014 by Cait Sith 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still around. Lot of em were out on the AM rush Friday morning when I was coming back to NY, didn't see any new 7200s except 7278 on BusTime when I woke up but I didn't get out to 9 to make it on time. Was 7279 the only other 1 in service at Howell on Friday morning? Are the other ones in service or just there?
