TimDaEmeraldWizard Posted January 7, 2018 Share #353 Posted January 7, 2018 The NJ Transit 2017 Annual Report stated that the remaining 290 commuter coach units on the order will be 40-foot. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a switch. We tried to get 40 foot buses at Lakeland, and the state told my boss “no”. Smh 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the VIN is 1M8PDMBA8JP014822. Inspected on 12/26. Will have to see if there are others beyond that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We tried to get 40 foot buses at Lakeland, and the state told my boss “no”. Smh This is slightly inaccurate. If you read the actual report, the way the information is phrased indicates that the 40-foot cruiser buses are part of a SEPARATE procurement contract that has yet to be issued: Quote Bid specifications were developed for 80, sixty-foot articulated buses and 290 forty-foot clean-diesel cruiser buses, replacing buses that are approaching the end of their useful lives. Cruiser buses are primarily used for long-distance bus routes while articulated buses operate in densely populated urban areas. NJ TRANSIT plans to issue bid packages for both types of buses in FY2018, with the scheduled deployment of those buses between FY2019 and FY2022. All of the buses will meet the requirements of the ADA Edited January 8, 2018 by Fan Railer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there will be a DD13 bus in the near future. 17185 was said to have a DD13, but it has a Cummins engine in it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmansports Posted January 19, 2018 Share #358 Posted January 19, 2018 40 footers will go to Oradell and Market St garages due to facility limitations. Side note: In 2015/2016 NJ Transit/NJDOT applied for federal aid to build new garage replacement for Oradell to be built in Teterboro (75 million dollar) under the federal HUD Flood Resilience program. However, it was not awarded. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted February 1, 2018 Share #361 Posted February 1, 2018 Next batch of confirmed VINs from MCI is from JP014872-014889. If all these are for NJT that would take us to 18054. I have nine confirmed VINs for NJT so far. -872, -874, and -877-883. VINs all indicate Cummins engines. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted February 7, 2018 Share #363 Posted February 7, 2018 Next batch of VINs confirmed takes us through JP014915. If these buses all belong to NJT this takes us up to 18080. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted February 24, 2018 Share #366 Posted February 24, 2018 As of today I have inspection sheets for all buses through 18080, with the exception of 18073, 18074 and 18076. Egg Harbor is now getting buses. I do not know the dividing line between the two garages but will check Monday rush hour to see if I can find that out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
