3482 on the K this afternoon.

7212 was on the 18 this afternoon, which isn't unusual at all ... except for the fact that the destination sign read "97 CONSHOHOCKEN."

For starters, I observed & rode 9072 on the 11 this morning en route to 65th & Woodland Avenue(9072 runs so smoothly). Whenever 9072 crosses track intersections, you can barely feel the car crossing the intersection(strong, new shock abosrbers I assume).

9072 is a great car Eric.

I spotted 3484 on the 5 this afternoon.

The 5 is no longer split between Southern & Frankford. The 5 is exclusively operated out of Frankford depot.

I spotted the 8000 on the G this afternoon, as well as 8108 & 8113.

5746 & 8106 have front destination signs that display the destinations on 2 lines instead of one(one side of the sign being lit, halfway, the other side of the sign being blank).

Around 11:30 pm last night, 8083 and another New Flyer whose number I couldn't make out, in Lancaster, PA taking a rest on the way to their new home, at the EconoLodge around the corner from where I live.

sigh, VERY slow driver with 5135 this morning - got in quite late.

Rode 5341 on the 98 "NABI Bullet" tonight, fully stocked with rt 66 schedules (never see that happen in rt 66 operation). Also was rather loud with the hums and sharp whirrs and whatnot.

Rode 5338 on the 98 this morning, 5341 the other night, 5343 the other day.

5338 isnt bad, has "old style NABI" seating, low hum sound on outside.

5341 IIRC was pretty cool yet rather rattly

5343 was a nice one, somewhat sluggish, but still nice

5342 is still my favorite out of the bunch though. I think one of these buses had all tinted windows like 5145, but i dont remember which one.

Also 5329 has a crapping out sound to the engine like 5332 did - hopefully they'll fix it immediately as they did, eventually, with 5332. 5329 is a favorite of mine because it has this nice whirr when shifting into 3rd gear that the other NABIs dont seem to have.

Ah, isnt it nice being "NABI Central" of the system ;) .
