still remember seeing these along the 127 and out of meadowlands when i first moved to jersey, they were gone by may 2021. i then shifted my focus to the fairview units and those went as well, and-at last-the ones from market street and oradell. i caught every single one i could until they all kicked the bucket
I am glad I got to drive them. 7783, 7407, 7932, 7661, 8301, 8304, 8284, 8029, 7645, 7801, 8226, 8216, 8248 was my absolute favorite buses. Driving has not been fun since the new CTs rolled in.
Well I'm not from sith jersey I'm Newark and I remember how the buses run over their I started when they were 25 and I got on these buses for a long time and I really do miss that and you really do start to missed that when you leave you're hometown and you go somewhere different it changes things quickly that you learn to appreciate them more because we're I'm at the buses don't run like they do over their I want to say every 15: to 20 minutes thank you for showing these buses that I have ride at one time in my life
Farewell 7501 I really miss that bus I’d actually rode the 7500-8000 series in the 2000’s and 7501 is my favorite bus of all it’s a 2000 model but made in 1999 which is 25 years ago but I happen to see 7502 from Ironbound garage being preserved by the New Jersey Transportation Heritage Collection from time to time
I'm not surprised the D4000s lasted as long as they did. Think about how long the MC-9Bs, and even some of the MC-9As lasted for NJT. Hell, I'm old enough to remember when the last Flxible Metro D's rolled through Philadelphia heading to and from South Jersey.
Those buses retired too soon and now it’s these NABIS running alongside the MCIS. I’m used to the NABIS but I miss the Flixible Metro buses. MCI D series buses are the best.

I can see why. Especially in South Jersey, when all they basically have are 18000s........

I was lucky to catch a lot of videos of the remaining MCI D4000’s, I will start uploading them

And the DDS sixty engine with the B500 Allison Transmission sweetened the deal along with the D4500 even though it wasn’t mentioned
My childhood
Yessir
@@Eaze-i9kI basically grew up with Oradell’s D4000’s
Will be greatly missed!
They'll be missed in the future
no, they are missed now

Those were great buses!
Because of 2014-22 D4500CT arrivals, they are taken over the Midtown 100-300s
NJT went downhill since flexible grumman 870 & nova rts busses retired.
