Lawrence St Posted February 22, 2022 Share #1126 Posted February 22, 2022 6 hours ago, 553 Bridgeton said: I always said the same thing. Especially having mcis on the 159 is utterly terrible. Another thing to mention Fairview should be an exact fare garage. I fully agree. That's one reason I didn't go to Fairview, the 159 is an extremely high ridership line, and if I was to stop and play cashier at every stop I'd never get anywhere on time. If anything, MCI's should be restricted to the 156X and 159X only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, let's throw them on JFK Blvd, Bergenline Ave (worse to have them on), River Rd and Palisades. I agree that them lines should be farebox and ticket readers. Rider flow in and out should be sped up just so the drivers can stay on schedule. Agree that the express lines of the 156R and 159R should be MCI instead of the local lines. I guess they think that side of Hudson county & Bergen County deserves cruisers too. Blvd East is just a different animal 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davemackey Posted March 17, 2022 Share #1139 Posted March 17, 2022 I spotted 18023 on the Garden State Parkway yesterday so I am assuming it was on its way down to Washington Township after being repaired from its accident back in October. Bus will need to be re-inspected before going back into service. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLiu15 Posted March 18, 2022 Share #1140 Posted March 18, 2022 Wonder why none of the earlier 22000s have been delivered yet. Some of them (22001 & 22007) have already been built. These are Pembina units though - maybe there's a holdup at the Pembina factory or something? Would also explain why 21338 still isn't here. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear at least that one of them will be back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davemackey Posted March 19, 2022 Share #1143 Posted March 19, 2022 22001 and 22003 are at CMF, inspected.. and of course I have found the VINs. 22001 - 1M8D2W910NP140708 22003 - 1M8D2W919NP140710 As you can see they are Pembina builds and I found all 55 of the VINs for those 55 buses, 22001-22055. The only mystery now remains the last 30 buses of the order. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlxMtroD Posted March 24, 2022 Share #1146 Posted March 24, 2022 So it appears that Oradell might be getting some if not the remaining 22000s, correct me if I'm wrong. I saw Coach 22078 laying over at IKEA-PARAMUS at the time of writing this. I'm sure it's Oradell's new toy now 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
