Cameras are a deterrent in many cases. They have helped apprehend vandals and even helped in operator assault cases. High floor buses are obsolete as far as the transit industry and bus builders are concerned. NABI tried to convince NJT to order low floors, since that's what they basically build now. High floors are almost a "special order" now, but with the volumn of buses NJT ordered, NABI would do anything.A twenty year old bus is very costly to maintain and keep running. You know that! The METRO B's were totally shot. And passenger/operator comforts and amenities were non-existant. Why subject the ridership to crap like that. It's no way to keep present riders or attract new ones. And in many cases the METRO B's didn't meet ADA requirements. They had to go.....period..... |
