Don't Junk Those Flxibles Just Yet!

Yes, I know sometimes we're a little lax in getting this site updated sometimes. As I was on my way down to the parade in Wildwood today, I got a phone tip that NJT was going to run into some trouble with its recent order from Millennium Transit LLC. Seems Millennium is running into some problems and has had to shut down its plant. No production transits have come forth, and the few suburbans that have been delivered aren't going into service yet until Millennium fixes some electrical problems.

This is why you're still seeing almost 20-year-old Flxibles in the 3000 and 3500 series still on the road!

UPDATE: I've been informed that NJT is going to order additional buses from NABI to replace the last of the Flxibles, including the 1994 transits and 1989 and 1994 suburbans. As Millennium is no longer an entity, it's very unlikely the few suburbans that have been delivered (from what I understand they're at Newton Avenue) will ever see service.
