Is GoBus 28 North Jersey First Bus Bike Rack Route

On October 28th NJ TRANSIT will be launching GoBus28 a rapid bus route that will connect Bloomfield, Downtown Newark and Newark Airport. Unlike the other GoBus Route it looks like GoBus Route 28 will be using all new buses (NABI 416 Suburbans) which include bike racks (at least in the photo provided in the brochure). Since NJ TRANSIT has not been selling the bike racks as an amenity we are wondering if all the buses will indeed have bike racks.










If you look carefully you can see the bike rack on the front of the bus

South Jersey bus routes have had bike racks since 2000 and on some routes especially in the Atlantic City Area the bike racks are very well used.

Yes there are bike racks on all of the new go28 buses. Great bus ride tho a little annoying the buses do not seem to be hybrids. Weird since they've been pushed in new York for years now. I wonder if they cheaper out, even tho long term fuel costs would pay for that. They are noisy buses, not the case with NYC's newest hybrids. Le sigh.
