ᴴᴰ⁶⁰ Front POV: NJT Route 115 Rahway to New York via Jersey Gardens onboard a 2015 MCI D4500CTH

Описание: On Monday, December 29th, 2025 after a series of riding buses around North Jersey, this was another to add onto the list. I saw that an MCI D4500CTH (Hybrid) bus was running on the 115. I filmed the inbound trip from Rahway to New York which covers the Jersey Gardens deviation. This was my first time riding a Hybrid MCI so it was a fun ride. NJTransit only has a handful of these 2015-16 D4500CTHs (Ironbound and Egg Harbor) with several out of service and/or retired since these can be unreliable at times. Unfortunately, my phone had ran out of storage several times so I used snapchat to record parts of it, making the quality not as pleasant.

Also, the driver was kinda rude. He complained when we were taking pictures of the bus and then told me I couldn't film a ride video. He said that you cannot film on New York buses but you can do them on routes that stay within New Jersey (Completely made up information). Anyway, I used his logic and asked if I could record the section within New Jersey, which was from Rahway to Jersey Gardens Mall in Elizabeth, he agreed so not all was lost. However I still wanted to cover the full ride (Which is also why I'm just now uploading this video, nearly two months after it was initially recorded). I used clips from my recent 111 ride video as well as from a trip on the 197 which I was able to complete the full inbound 115 off-peak route. And as you can tell by with the last clip, the driver flipped me and my friend off for filming which was weird because during the first few minutes of the ride we actually had a civilized conversation with him and he seemed nice. Welp that's enough yapping from me, enjoy the video!
