CRUISER BUS REPLACEMENT
Project Scope:
The new cruiser buses will replace buses manufactured from 2000 to 2003 over a five year period. The new buses will be a mix of 40 foot and 45 foot over-the-road coaches. Additionally, some of the new buses will replace those purchased in late 2006.
Schedule:
Advertise construction contract winter 2014

This is going to be a pretty major order, considering it covers some 1400 MCI buses or so. What would you like to see as powertrain in these new buses (considering we only have 2 real choices if NJT goes for MCI again)?
ARTICULATED BUS REPLACEMENT
Project Scope:
Replace 36 suburban and 49 transit-style articulated buses.

It'll be interesting to see who gets this order, but I'm really hoping we'll see some NJT XD60s.
