History

Deliveries History

The first of the 2018 models are in NJ Transit paint with Washington Township Bus Garage getting the first batch. Those buses began running in revenue on November 25, 2017. Except for two buses for Saddle River Tours, all of the 18000 series buses have been assigned to NJ Transit, concluding the Year Two phase of production at bus 18129 in June 2018.

Movement History

Buses 18118-18119, which were originally assigned to Saddle River Tours, were returned to NJT after the company went out of business. They entered NJT service at Meadowlands garage in late 2020.

In summer 2021, some units from the Southern Division garages were briefly swapped with buses from Wayne garage. However, these buses were returned to their respective garages shortly after.

A mileage swap between the Egg Harbor units 18064-18096 was underway with Newton Avenue's 18126-18129 and 19000-series buses in early 2023. However, this was reversed a few months later and all buses returned to their respective garages.

Starting in summer 2023, many of Egg Harbor's non-lavatory units began transferring to various garages, with Washington Township receiving 18064-18068, and Oradell, Wayne and Meadowlands receiving various buses in the 18069-18096, and 18120-18125 range. This was due to Egg Harbor receiving the former DeCamp 17000-series buses. The Egg Harbor and Meadowlands lavatory units are also being mileage swapped, with all buses going to the opposite garage. Later in 2024, some units from Washington Township (18001-18003, 18005-18006) began being transferred to Wayne. 18068 was returned to Egg Harbor while 18082 from Oradell was also transferred to Wayne in May 2024. 18073, 18087, 18094 and 18123-18124 from Oradell were also transferred to Meadowlands in July 2024. 18124 returned to Oradell in August 2024, 18073, 18087 and 18123 returned in September 2024, and 18094 returned in November 2024.
