They're system is basically made up of CNG Orions and New Flyers, pretty much sound like our Neoplans but with more Power...All-in-All i was very Impressed.

To the Big Apple I go I must say this system really has a lot of buses! lol besides the fact that its very congested there wasn't a single moment where you couldn't find an MTA around here, I'm kind of sad I wish I could of seen more Orion NGs and even some Orion Vs but It was mostly regular VIIs a couple RTS and New Flyer Artics;

New Jersey Transit, Home of many MCIs, Brand Spankin' new NABIs, RTS, Neoplans and some Flxibles on the side--NJT Is currently in the phase of Retiring the Flxibles metros which are 1994 Models I'm guessing from the looks of it the NABIs are whats replacing them, Managed to ride 2 3751 and 3758 both run on Cummins C Engines, Heres a few shots of their MCIs in NYC and Flxibles in Elizabeth and North Arlington NJ;

Jonesy - I'm glad you got out of the 'Burgh (and enjoyed the NJTransit Flxibles).  They are indeed a treat as those NJT guys always drive fast.   

Looking forward to your visit in the DC area.
