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...
