septa105R5/seClip9 Posted May 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2017 Meanwhile, trying to get as many video of NJ Transit's MCI D4000 as I can from last weekend before they're replaced by new MCI D4500CT One NJ Transit's owned 2017 MCI D4500CT leased to Coach USA Suburban seen in Princeton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
septa105R5/seClip9 Posted August 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 7, 2017 According to one comments posted on of my youtube video (in titled: Exculsive: Krapf's Coach 2016 MCI J4500 #5060 with Detroit Diesel DD13 Engine 4/21/16), and in both wikipedia and cptdb wiki (about nj transit's bus fleet), there were some sources reporting rumors (yet to be confirmed) that NJ Transit 2017 (2018?) MCI D4500CT batch from the 2015 order 17185 (test bus), 18036 and beyond may feature Detroit Diesel DD13 engine. We'll have to wait if there's official video and/or audio recording of those buses equipped with that king of engine. Currently, MCI only offers Cummins engine for its D Series Motorcoach (D4005 and D4505, D4000CT and D4500CT) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MTA-(T)-Train Posted September 23, 2017 Report Share Posted September 23, 2017 Apparently Transit Systems Unlimited has acquired some NJ Transit RTS-06s.

septa105R5/seClip9 Posted November 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2017 Onto the new MCI D4500CT delivery status. According to one of the member post from PMATA's FB page, it was reported that #18005 has already been delivered and now in service serving routes in South Jersey. This means the 2001-2003 MCI D4000 will be history soon as they are in the process of being replaced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Len90 Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 There are a bunch of new buses sitting at the Atlantic Detroit Diesel and allison dealer in Piscataway. The buses look like they had just come in as they only had the NJ transit text on them and none of the other transit's markings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Transit geek Posted December 3, 2017 Report Share Posted December 3, 2017 I have just read this MTA forum post from five years ago: https://www.nyctransitforums.com/topic/38563-nj-girl-stuck-when-nj-transit-bus-wheelchair-lift-breaks/ It seems like maintaining the wheelchair lifts on the coaches in working order would be costly, and so I was hoping that NJT looks into MCI's latest innovation for its next order: http://future-of-commuting.com/ Compared to GO Transit which mainly has limited-stop routes, NJT could be a more viable customer for this model as its routes generally have more frequent stops.

Plus, Low Floors speeds up process especially for loading wheelchair passenger in the bus and securing them in designated spot. If ramp failed for any reason, I assume that ramp can be deployed by hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catharine Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 I wish the old version of the 414 still existed. The old 414 linked Northeastern Philly with NJ at Frankford Terminal. it went to Marlton. If they rerouted this to a bigger city, then this would surely succeed, right?

Len90 Posted April 5, 2018 Report Share Posted April 5, 2018 7101-7118 have had their headlights replaced to match the rest of the newer D4500s. Also does anyone know where 9001-9053 ended up going? When they were brand new they ran out of the Howell NJ garage but I haven't seen any of those in years and can't imagine they are retired before all of the 2000-2003 buses.

MTA-(T)-Train Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 Academy is purchasing some of the NJ Transit MCIs that were painted in Academy livery. There's at least a 1931 running (the GO Transit units end at 1930) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know they took over Atlantic Express for those but some of the bus numbers just don't look the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I've heard, they are buying back their NJT-leased buses to replace the buses from GO Transit. Apparently the GO Transit buses are beat up, whereas the NJT-leased ones were well-maintained under Academy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
