The PABCO bus in the background has mismatched panels. The Community bus has black on the rear.

Green and Triboro---Community Coach and Red & Tan (Coach USA in NJ is known for having some shoddy RTSs---and those at Community (1148-1184 and 1270) are particularly sloppy.)

Adam, the reference to Triboro is that PABCO bus in the background of the 1152 pic.

Man, those RTS could have been used by NJT better than what those guys do. Always smelly, or having engine issues, or whatever. And to think that NJT is actually CONSIDERING giving some of the new NABI's to guys like them?!?!? I rather send them all the crappy Flex's and take those RTS' back and see if they can be repaired and given to garages that can really use those 99-2000 models.

Considering that PABCO and Community are NJT contractors, they're probably kept on a shoestring budget.

PABCO's NABIs are on hold indefinitely (the mini-LF ones) unless they get 416s or MCIs instead or something happens that results in them losing the MCM contract to Lakeland or the MCM operation going in-house before their NABIs arrive if they do.

The stripes are missing in many places on buses 2575 and 2576 as well as 2579's rear.
2575

2576 Wrapped, notice the dent in the rear panel.
