History
The original contract, signed in 2001, was for 85 buses (including transits 9501-9549), with NJ Transit not exercising an option to purchase an additional 70 buses. They were originally purchased by SNC Barfin 2 and leased to NJT, except the demo bus 9601 which was owned by NJT. These buses replaced the Volvo B10MA suburban buses 9200-9259 dating back to 1985. They were technically the same model as the AN460, but were built one foot shorter to enable easier handling of the tight turns at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City.
Originally slated for a 2014-2015 replacement, in January 2019 New Jersey Transit approved a contract to replace these buses with New Flyer Industries XD60 articulated buses with deliveries beginning in late 2019 and continuing into 2020. Additionally, in late 2019 the ownership of all units was transferred from SNC Barfin 2 to NJT, and the non-demo units received new plates as a result. Their retirement was further delayed when production was halted on the New Flyer buses due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but once the production pipeline started again, the Neoplans began being scrapped in late July 2020. Decommissioning of the buses was completed in February 2021 with 9615 and 9624 being the final two in service.
