NJ Transit in GA (or actually AL)

This post follows up on a previous post regarding the NJ Transit buses spotted twice driving along I-85.

A fellow student here in Georgia made an unsolicited comment about how he saw an NJ Transit bus driving around Atlanta recently. Likely I-85. He mentioned how he figured they were getting built somewhere west of Georgia and then driving to New Jersey.

So I sat down and worked out where they were coming from, and then driving down I-85 on their way to New Jersey. Looks like NJ Transit ordered their new buses from North American Bus Industries, Inc. which is located in Anniston, Alabama, along I-20. These buses likely drive west on I-20 to I-285 around Atlanta, before heading northeast along I-85 through SC, NC, and VA.

The news releases from both NABI are NJ Transit were tracked down.
