Hey JB, I'd be glad to help you with the RU Bus page, even host it if you like. Maybe we could go down and take some pictures to illustrate. Anyway, here's some information that Dave Mackey, NJ Bus fan extrordinarire, sent me.

And he answered...


As you may know, HAML is part of Suburban Management Corp., which is owned by Coach USA. The place I'd start is sending e-mail to info@coachusa.com. They can probably get you in touch with someone at Suburban who can get you the information. A more recent HAML roster (as of 3/17/95) has these buses listed on it:

76 Flxible: 7057, 7082, 7126, 7343, 7345, 7353, 7359, 7374-7375,
7378-7380, 7401, 7403, 7413, 7420, 7875.
Flxible Metro: 1448, 1449.
GMC: 307A, 308A.
Grumman 870A: 1211-1212, 1214, 1216, 1219, 1223, 1225, 1260-1262.
Grumman 870B: 2080.

An even more recent accounting (April 1997) lists these buses:

101-102, 104, 106, 108, 701-705, 1211-1212, 1214, 1216, 1219, 1223,
1225, 1260-1262, 1448-1449, 2080, 3258-3260, 3272, 7126, 7375.

The older buses were returned to NJT but may have been scrapped by now.
