Posted by The Flxible Neofan on Sun Sep 6 00:10:47 2009, in response to Re: NJT NABI buses will start to arrive in South Jersey, posted by TC40102A#9167 on Sat Sep 5 12:54:09 2009. 3275 is a nice bus but it runs out of Newton Ave, not Washington Twp. Washington Township has infamously poor maintenance, but thankfully they've managed to keep the Flxes running somewhat. In their defense, I'll state that the Flxes have been running in 7 day a week service on incredibly long, heavy duty routes right up until the NABIs arrived. However, their buses tend to be junky and quite slow. It almost makes me want to cry riding their buses as they struggle to get up and over that hill. These days, they seem so much worse than I remember them...from just a few months ago. Newton Ave's maintenance is noticeably better, and I used to chase after those Metro Bs when I would go on my Southern NJT fan trips. Unfortunately, two Newtown Ave routes - the two that were Metro B strongholds, were cut back to Camden recently. Regardless, the new NABI buses are well needed. I do believe, however, that several years from now (or even sooner), they will start looking beaten up unless maintenance standards improve. Only the MCIs still look good out of Washington Twp, although I can't say much about the 30 foot RTSs that I only occasionally see. |
