Ride on the rear of 17017 on 77 from Whippany to NYC: • Community Coach HD 60f...
Welcome aboard Community Coach route 77X. Our bus today is brand new 2016 MCI D4500CT 17006, as we ride the entire line from Port Authority Bus Terminal in New York City to Headquarters Plaza in Morristown by the Green. This was my second time on one of the new motorcoaches that will soon be replacing the bulk of the old MCI fleet that dates back to the early 2000s.
I have to say that I was quite impressed with the smoothness of the updated powertrain, which is a Cummins ISX12 (425 hp and 1450 lbft torque) with Cummins C-brake (jake brake) mated to an Allison B500 Gen V 6-speed transmission. We do hit the governed top speed of 70 MPH while on Interstate 280 just after the 1st Street on-ramp merge (26:10). The updated engine brake software makes stops much smoother; instead of the jake brake being constantly set to a specific level of output, the brake output varies depending on how far the brake pedal is depressed by the bus operator. This means that there is more constant and active blending of the engine brake and the air brakes.
The Cummins ISX engine shares some auditory similarities with, but doesn't sound exactly like the old Detroit Diesel Series 60; the quality of the base is a bit throatier with the Cummins. Additionally, you can hear the variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) adjusting as the engine returns to idle speed. To hear more of this powertrain, go here: • Community Coach HD [Au...
The seats were also of a different quality; the cushions do not sink as far down, but instead stay firm at the points where you want your body to be supported. Overall, I can say that I'm looking forward to the bulk of the 1100+ order coming in to replace the old MCIs on NJT and Lakeland (among other carriers). Enjoy the ride =)

I miss the D4500s we had at Gray Line NY. They switched up to the J4500s but they were destroyed after Hurricane Sandy, and they never replaced them. All we have now are the Alexander Dennis Enviro 500s, Trident 300s. And a few converted old New Flyer Low Floor buses.
That's amazing I'm watching this because I did the exact same ride a few months ago. Very cool!!
Quick note. The 170xx buses are actually 2017 buses. The year code in the VIN is H which means 2017. MCI builds buses for the next model year beginning on August 15, IIRC.
yup
I'm leaving this as 2016 since I am going by manufacture date, not the model year.
I thought these new Cummins Engines were the 350hp version to preserve trans, 425 is cool lol
Very similar to major Detroit automakers which start the new model year in August (usually). But some of the 2008 NJT 7100s have build dates as early as May 2007 and the 17186-17240 series for Lakeland continued well into September 2017.
This sort of reminds me of the old Transbay Terminal to freeway to Bay Bridge, route the buses in San Francisco used to take.
Here before processing is finished. Nice catch, sir.
lololol it's not even done uploading, much less processing. Curse my slow internet lol. Probably won't be live until like 5 am in the morning or something.
@@FanRailer I know right!!! That Slow Processing really hits different.
Chuga Choo Choo! I'm a train and I approve this video!
I went on this bus today it was a school trip.
The great country in the worlds God Bless America and Indonesia too.
I never understood why a public transit company needs Greyhound style buses. I also noticed there were no tollbooths near the tunnel. I didnt know the Holland tunnel was free. I always loved taking the turnpike to NYC. get to see a lot of great stuff.
8:28 what happened to the bus on the right
Maybe it was a sick passenger
Pardon any lack of geographical knowledge I may have, but as far as I know, as soon as you leave the Port Authority and cross through the first tunnel, you're in New Jersey, right?
I've been wondering then what those MTA buses going the other way are doing there, those three Prevosts. I know MTA has had express routes heading into NJ but can't find information about them. Never been to the tri-state but one of the interests I have in this area is bus and train routes operated by MTA, NJT and SEPTA that cross state borders. Which route are those Prevosts running, and have you ever gotten video of the route shotgun like you did with this one? That's something I'd sooo love to see. Thanks in advance.
Yes that is correct, once through the Lincoln Tunnel after leaving the PABT, you are in NJ. The MTA buses you see using the Lincoln are operating on Staten Island routes via the NJ Turnpike. I have not shot those routes from a Prevost, but I have from the Alexander Dennis Double Decker (Enviro500 SuperLo) when it was demoing with the MTA last year.
@@FanRailer Ah, thanks! :) That's actually very interesting! Kinda reminds me of some train routes in Europe (I believe Deutsche Bahn) that cross national borders for a short distance before going back into Germany, travelling inbetween two German cities. Think it's that Austrian line that's only connected to Germany that that happens on.
Definitely will be one of the bucketlist routes for me to film if I ever go down there.
Some of the motor coach buses are louder than the other motor coach buses
As far as I’m aware the 77 now terminates at Livingston Mall. I wonder when and why they made the change…
Probably lack of ridership. Even when I rode, not many people rode past Livingston. There are better ways to get to Morristown than on this slow-ass bus lmao.
@@FanRailer lol that’s a great point.
They should put some of those buses on the bus to Orange County that goes via route 17/M.
The Rail Shooter 197
The Rail Shooter those are our buses that go there. Shortline bus owns those routes. The way Shortline works is, if the route is longer than 1 hour in or out of the city, we require the bus to have a bathroom. Also the 17K series buses are owned by NJT and don't want their buses to go past our New Jersey routes.
nice video and if this bus needs to do Morristown to midtown manhattan super express its routing would be 287-24-78(exit 48-58)-95-495 lincoln tunnel-PABT but if community coach operates Morristown to lower Manhattan super Express routing would be 287-24-78
bookmark for myself:
1:15:27, camera shows the back of the bus
wait i'm confused i though commercial vehicles should always be on the right lane left lane would be if your making a left turn
Ummm duhhhh did u not see the buses coming down the ramp???? And it's hard to switch lanes when there's traffic like that
It's too bad the MTA is doing away with MCIs and replacing them with Prevost Car x3-45s. Gotta love how the Volvo D13 SCR EPA 10 12.8L engine sounds with the Allison B500R6 Gen IV transmission though.
DJ TORO I agree with you on that one but the last MCI buses that MTA ordered were in 2012-2013 would be 4 years or 3 years depending on their service entry date
Jersey an Beautiful State No Doubt about that at all
how much is the fare on that and can i pay cash?
~$10, and yes.
THANKS FOR THAT INFO
@@BusTVChan Im mad late but OOOOOOOHHHHHH SHIT WE GOT BUSTV CHAN IN THE CHAT
!!!!
@@FanRailer Have you ridden on the CUSA NABI 416.15's? Whats the difference between GoBus, CUSA, AC ,and NJT?
This reminds me of quebeca highways ngl
Very little room for error on these highways - lanes seem so narrow
D4500CT to your right 1:33
We all love the CT
No, actually at the one hour and twelve minj
No, actually at the one hour and twelve minute mark the bus passes a line of railroad passenger cars on the left before moving into downtown Morristown. That is the station to which I refer. This is also before the bus passes the Morristown train station.
OHHH you mean whippany railroad museum?
Fan Railer: OK, mystery solved, thank you very much indeed. I've never traveled to that part of NJ.
what was the maximum speed bro?
70 mph (113 km/h)
expectacular viaje
What is the train station at 1:12?
you mean 14:12? there is no train station at 1:12 lol. Secaucus Junction.
Ok
at the 40 minutes mark why did the driver get up then back on ? btw this took like 30 minutes to load lmao 😂
Had to get something out of the luggage compartment.
Fan Railer ohhh ok
I thought this vídeo was 1 hour of trip
а почему у меня денег нет?
Is Community Coach a good line? I already know that Rockland Coaches are literally the worst thing in existence. I feel like the passengers that ride those lines should get paid to ride on such a bad line. Yes their new coaches are sharp looking but when they run over 2 hours late and have a rude driver (like most of the time), you can say no more.
Fan railer whats the name of this bus
