Everything has been inspected except 20905, 20907, 20909 and 20910. 20897 and 20900 went to CMF today from the Sicklerville lot, as well as MCI 21061. I think within a week or two, all of the New Flyer buses will be in revenue. As of right now there are only two Neoplans left to be retired - 9503 and 9530. Fare thee well.

Now, in addition to 20825, Hilton also has 20826-20828 from Big Tree, so those displaced the 20880s.

The equipment shuffle means....

20801-20828 - Hilton 
20829-20849 - Big Tree
20850-20891 - Fairview
20892-20910 - Meadowlands

According to a FB post, looks like 20849 went to Fairview too. Guessing they probably took out the farebox.

The only buses that are not yet in service are 20901, 20905, and 20908-20910. Everything should be at CMF getting final prep. So it looks like NJT will come pretty close to their prediction that all these buses will be in service by the end of the quarter, which is today.

Yesterday 20901 went active, today 20908-20909. Only 20905 and 20910 remain to go into service.

Order is not finished yet. Order compiles for 85 artics in the initial order with 85 option units. 85 XD60 buses were delivered in the base order during 2020 (20801-20885), with 25 options exercised by 2021 (20886-20910) and the final 60 being ordered beginning no later than 2024 (24801-24860?). These 60 buses will replace at least 40 aging NABI units:

Meadowlands can probably take more and so can hilton and start the retire of some of their nabis......I always wondered why Artics never got sent to southern gararges....
