NJT NABI buses will start to arrive in South Jersey

Starting in about a week or so, the new NJT NABI suburban buses will start to arrive at Washington Twp. Garage. It can't happen soon enough. The Flxible Metro B buses are totally shot and are crying for a junk yard. Bus operators and passengers will love the NABI buses, especially compared to the junk they've endured for years.

Geez....let's hope not !! Well, one thing about NJT, they do a mid-life rebuild after six years and the plan is for nothing to be around longer than 12 to 13 years. I doubt we'll ever see 20 year old buses on NJT anymore. It just doesn't make economic sense to keep buses that long anymore. It has cost a fortune to keep that junk running.

Right, the first buses off the order, 7501-7503 are pushing 10 years old come 2010. The CNGs which are 1998-2000s JUST got rehabbed at 10 and 11 years old.

I don't think the NABIs would even last that well for such a long time, despite the maintenance practices. I was less than impressed when I rode one up county - dunno what's with the rattling in the wheelwell.

NABIS will turn into shit at Washington TWP in a matter of 2-3yrs. On the 400 they will take a serious beating with all of them Low Income ppl in camden that don't know how to take care of shyt.

Shyt I will never work the 313 again....Last month i did it with a 45' and that shit was trashed and written all up on the windows and walls and floors.

NABIs at TWP will be total shyt in a few years and will be junk in 10yrs. Flexs on the 410....means NABIs will be on the 410 which is a long hull route.

Don't be fooled by a new bus. These NABI's are JUNK. Parts are glued on and not bolted/screwed on and after a few weeks the glue stops sticking and everything falls off. A NJT bus mechanic told me recently that 1 out of every 3 buses assigned to his depot are o/s.

The bad thing is that NJT decided to essentially replace the entire fleet with them before even receiving the prototype...

The NABI buses are suburbans, not transits. They are a far cry better than the crap Flxible Metro B's now. I still would have preferred that NJT had ordered low floor buses, rather than obsolete high floor buses. I doubt that Washington Twp. Garage is any worse that any other NJT garage. And you find good and bad people where ever you go. Do you think Camden is the only place in New Jersey that has problems like that?

If there is a security problem, it should be reported and addressed. That's where onboard cameras come in handy. Trashing of a NJT vehicle shouldn't be tolorated, no matter where it happens.

You sound like a really disgruntled employee with a chip on your shoulder. I doubt you'd be satisfied if a bus was gold plated and made by Rolls Royce.

Well, if the NABI buses are bad, what are those 20 year old Flxible Metro B's? They're beyond garbage! Like I said, the NABI's are a major improvement over what's out there now. They'll get the kinks out. They always do. Everybody complains about something, with new vehicles....it's human nature. Every new transit vehicle fleet has its critics. And some people can't be satisfied no matter what you give them.

I, for one, found the NABI buses to be a vast improvement over a Flxible Metro B that's 20 years old and worn out. I'm not comparing it to a brand new Flxible Metro B 20 years ago, that's nonsense. How long the NABI's last, only time will tell. As with most things manufactured today, compared to years ago, quality has suffered. Even automobiles aren't made like they used to be. They're plastic and glue too, for the most part.

Yet, there are still many passenger and operator comforts incorporated into the new NABI's {or any other new bus} that were unheard of 20 years ago. Let's face it, in many ways, we've come a long way.

How long they last is NOT the drivers business its NJT. They get paid no matter what they drive. I said it 2 years ago they will never accept the nabi's because they wanted the Millennium buses.

"You sound like a really disgruntled employee with a chip on your shoulder. I doubt you'd be satisfied if a bus was gold plated and made by Rolls Royce."

Actually I love what I do and for sure I know camden is not the only place like that in NJ. Born and raised in the Bronx but living in Egg Harbor currently I know that life. I only picked the 313 for the summer because it gave me days I needed off. I tell every passenger that walk on with food or drinks to take it off when they exit in a nice manner and it works. But there are days when I get some crazy ppl. Shit I love those 45's and 40's. What I was trying to get out is how ppl ruin whats given to them. I know drivers that smoke on the bus while deadheading or eating while driving or having a cell phone convo while driving.

That 313 is such a long route. Do they at least give you a lot of layover time to rest?

It's nice that you let the people board with the food and drink, reminding them to take it off. I remember a SEPTA driver did that, and out of respect I always made sure I took everything with me (I normally do so anyway, but I made an extra effort not to leave anything behind). It's much nicer than the driver who will refuse to open the door to you in the storm while you are starting your morning commute because you have a covered cup of Dunkin Donuts in your hand...

"That 313 is such a long route. Do they at least give you a lot of layover time to rest?"

If i get to Phila early I get a decent time usually im about 5-10mins late getting into phila so I dont get a long enough break. That last 313 trip is a killer because it fills up quick with ppl heading back to Vineland/Millville for those that dont want the horrible 408 Local and the 313 hits route 42 and route 55.

When I get to Vineland Bus Terminal i sit for about 5min because a 553 is just pulling in and I let her go 1st and gets those passengers in front an when I pull out I only have to do drop offs. That driver hates when I do that hahahaha. Im suppose to be out first but I arrive late at Vineland Bus Term on purpose so she can go first.

oh wow. Well, it's nice to know that NJT buses like these



are bathroom equipped when they make the long haul into Philadelphia. I guess with the other buses, the riders are just up the creek.

Which one? The 423? I can't say much about ridership, but here's a picture from 2006:



The 423 (and the 468, which directly connects with the 401) actually is operated by "Salem County Transit", a contractor.

A sidenote: It's hard to believe those Phantoms are essentially gone now.

Heh - I've planned out a trip to ride that route (also serving the dual purpose of sightseeing in South Jersey); just never had the chance to actually do it! One of these days...

Gee....very nice of you. I've heard things like that from several bus operators. How would you like it if some operator did that to you? You'd be the first one to scream! I wouldn't exactly call this co-operation among fellow employees. In fact, I'm surprised to hear you openly admit it and brag about it.

Not all garages have the facilities to dump the chemical toilets.

Egg Harbor Twp. garage and Meadowlands both have facilities to dump the chemical toilets. This is basically for the # 319 runs.

The multilevel coaches already operate on the Atlantic City Rail Line. ACES uses them.

Nice shot of 7179. I worked 862 run a few times.

I know "full well" how long it took to get the Comet IV's on the ACRL and to "keep them" down here. One day, a few years ago, they suddenly started to disappear. A certain party screamed his head off and got them back....... It was during the time that NJT was having serious teething problems with the Comet V's and many were sidelined out of service. They were short of equipment on the North Jersey lines and decided to "steal" the ACRL Comet IV's.

The 313 isn't a bathroom needed route. If that were the case Egg Harbor would have gotten 7171-7175 for the 313/315. There only on the 313/315 by chance.
