Interesting........
On Eyewitness News at 11 (ABC) Friday evening, there was a quick "run through" story on the Hoboken PATH station closing for a month for much-needed repairs.
Footage showed people boarding an MCI on the #126 (I always associated transit-type buses with this line)
What really caught my eye was a recent-model Van Hool (no company logo visible in this footage I watched) bearing the legend "PATH SHUTTLE BUS"; am wondering now what company supplied this bus.....could it have been an "ACADEMY" coach?

Further:
Saw the aforementioned clip again over the weekend; I am now leaning more towards that recent-model VAN HOOL being an "ACADEMY" coach..........

| Well, yeah...that's obviously an Academy Bus from that link to Academy itself, but I meant a link to the news story you referenced... |

Memories...........
ACADEMY's "22 HILLSIDE" was a line both Mom anf I frequently; Mom used it for shopping and visiting my aunt;bb often used it as part of my commuyre, and to visita now-defunct honny shop.
Beginning in late 1993, I rode the "BOULEVARD EAST" run to Hoboken; the drivers were the BEST (as they were on the "22") and became goof friends of mine (one even gave me his "MCI" tie clip, for mu collection!)
Over the years, I rode Fishbowls, Flex New Looks, METRO "Bs", and RTS....all now bygone classics.
The "22" drivers often helped Mom with her packages at her stop; these guys were the BEST!!! 
After I retired (the buses wete now NJY) service on the "22" was cut back, that it no longer served my yown......I truly felt as though i had lost an integral part of my everyday life. 
THANK YOU, ACADEMY, for the many years of great memories and great service....both are sorely missed!
