New Jersey Transit‘s Newton Avenue garage gets yet another batch of NABI Transits. This batch actually has multiple purposes, and retiring buses one for one isn’t on their agenda!

New NABI at Newton Avenue Garage

These new NABIs that are coming in (5907-5918,  5924-5928 so far) are serving multiple tasks for Newton Avenue Garage. First, they are going to, in turn, send the NABI Suburbans (5366-5383) over to Washington Township Garage to help eliminate the bus shortage at Washington Township. This would then allow Washington Township to send their other MCI coaches to other garages. The 5900 series transits would then continue to clear out “RTS B” buses from Newton and allow them to take the place of the place of the “RTS A” buses currently in operation in the Orange Garage. Here are the current standings of the changes the NABI 5900’s made so far:

NABI 416.15s

Newton Ave: 5908-5918, 5924-5934 (New Buses)
Washington Township: 5366-5367, 5378 from Newtown Ave

MCI D4000 


Egg Harbor: 8011-8012 and 8015 from Washington Township
Wayne: 8850, 8851, 8853-8855 from Washington Township

NovaBus RTS Assignments have not been affected yet.

About the author: Dash Verified icon 1

I have been with Virtual Transit Center since it's conception as the "Dash Forums" back in 2008. Since then, I have been writing and doing YouTube side by side, focusing both on Transportation and Gaming. Most of my knowledge comes from SEPTA as I lived in Philadelphia for most of my life. As of 2021, I am on YouTube as DashTransit, Dash5155, and TheDashOfficial.

As for the name DashTransit itself, it actually stems from my YouTube channel.

DashTransit was originally called "njt5329" and the channel was just clips of buses. Mostly SEPTA and NJT. A Fujifilm Finepix was used in this era.

Starting in July 2011, the Canon SX130IS camera became the camera of the channel, bringing HD documentary-style videos much like my buddy (trainman1971) did for DVD for many years past. This is when the channel became known as "Transit Action Series"

In May 2012, the original Canon SX130IS retired, and then all videos were recorded off a mobile phone until eventually uploaded proved too difficult due to hardships IRL

Starting in 2017, I used a Canon SX200IS from Bastranz to reboot the channel that otherwise was dead for a whole year prior.

Between April 19th, 2019, and January 21st, 2021, all videos were recorded by a Canon SX710 HS camera. The channel was renamed DashTransit 4/19/19.
