1998-2001 MCI 102-DL3 Bus #2109 on The x22 Express Bus To Midtown Manhattan-3RD Avenue and East 57TH Street (59TH Street-Lexington Avenue N, R, W, 4, 5, 6Express and 6Local Subway Station), Manhattan via New Jersey 1998-2001 MCI 102-DL3 Bus #2109 on The x22 Express Bus To Tottenville-Hylan Boulevard and Page Avenue, Staten Island via New Jersey
With MTA MCI 2109 being retired, and Academy no longer doing SIM runs via NJ, it's all moot at this point. Judging by the video this bus looked like an Academy and quacked like an Academy rather than a NYCT express bus. NYCT 2109 was not always a fast bus, and unless NYCT touched the speed limiter during maintenance and hence fell through the cracks (no longer being capped in the 60 area), this bus appeared to be going at typical Academy speeds on the Turnpike, not the lower limited maximums found on the NYCT MCI/Prevost Fleet.

I have taken the former X17J route southbound through New Jersey before.

This bus was #2109 from NYCT! This was about 6 years ago or so. This was on the X22...NOW part of the SIM26
