Check Out The (FINALLY!) New Bus Schedule Design!
NJ Transit has debuted a dynamic, colorful new schedule design for its bus schedules after almost 20 years with the same exact graphics which were very serviceable but we have all grown tired of. The new schedule has debuted on Rt 25, which is also the route of the new "Go Bus".
Rt 25 Schedule as of 4/5/2008Labels: schedules

Here Come The NABI's!
The first two production NABI units for the massive NJT order of over 1150 buses have arrived. The two buses - and it's not quite clear if they're transits or suburbans - are numbered 5201 and 5202.Labels: NABI

67 More Cruisers For NJT
NJT has ordered another 67 cruisers from MCI. The new buses are 2008 D4500 models, 57 passenger capacity, and will be numbered 7121-7187, immediately after the 20 MCI 102DL3 buses NJT acquired used from MCI Coach Sales & Leasing.Labels: cruisers

Don't Junk Those Flxibles Just Yet!
Yes, I know sometimes we're a little lax in getting this site updated sometimes. As I was on my way down to the parade in Wildwood today, I got a phone tip that NJT was going to run into some trouble with its recent order from Millennium Transit LLC. Seems Millennium is running into some problems and has had to shut down its plant. No production transits have come forth, and the few suburbans that have been delivered aren't going into service yet until Millennium fixes some electrical problems.
This is why you're still seeing almost 20-year-old Flxibles in the 3000 and 3500 series still on the road!
UPDATE: I've been informed that NJT is going to order additional buses from NABI to replace the last of the Flxibles, including the 1994 transits and 1989 and 1994 suburbans. As Millennium is no longer an entity, it's very unlikely the few suburbans that have been delivered (from what I understand they're at Newton Avenue) will ever see service.

NABI Sends Dallas Bus To NJ As Demo
The demo has arrived for the NABI buses, and it's a four-year-old suburban bus from the fleet of DART. We will be getting more information on the bus, which is 5722 in the DART fleet. NJT has placed a large order with NABI, which will eventually replace the entire transit fleet, starting with the few remaining 1989 Flxibles.Labels: NABI

NJT ORDERS 1100+ BUSES FROM NABI
Buses, To Be Camera-Equipped, To Eventually Replace Almost Entire Transit Fleet
In a move that was announced on the day NJ Transit also informed commuters they're soon going to have to pony up 10% more to ride its buses and trains, Bus Operations announced the purchase of 200 new transit buses a year for the next six years from North American Bus Industries.
The buses are all going to be equipped with security cameras. These buses will replace, in order, the remaining Flxibles on the NJT roster, then the 2600-series Nova Bus, then the 1999-2000 Nova Bus fleet. By the time the purchases are completed in 2013, the NJT bus fleet will be the NABI transits, the MCI cruisers, the Neoplan artics, and a handful of Milennium Transit suburbans. And then it will be time to begin thinking about new cruisers again...
