5597 was sitting at King of Prussia Mall tonight. I saw it when I got there around 6:00 and it was still in the same spot when I left around 8:15. It had a sticker near its fuel tank that said USDL Fuel Only. |

Wow, 8075 in service - these New Flyer just keep multiplying Got to leave early to catch the 80, and that artic made incredible turns in the culdesacs to the point where the bus could not turn any sharper (like, the bus was bent basically at 90 degree angle). It was nice to see. no Neos last night, but I did see two Hybrids (both of which i managed to miss) as well as 5041, which had a wheelchair lift that would not go back to the "stow" position. Of course, this happen right smack dab in market street (apparently trying to go aroucnd someone parked in the bus lane) and held up traffic until the driver was able to drive to the side of the road with the lift still up. Rode NJT 3144, which wasnt in the nice condition I've seen other B's in, and finally got to ride 1203 on the 453 to Ferry Ave PATCO. Those RTS sound quite nice - who could resist a Neo shift, even though it is in an RTS with an ISC, However, the ISC didnt sound too bad, but I like the ISL/ISMs the best! Had a driver on the 27 who refused to pull to the curb to pick up people at Broad and Walnut stop (right across from City Hall). He was flying down the highway, and without warning just slowed sharply and drove slowly the rest of the way. He seems to not be the best driver of artics for other reasons as well, including sharp braking! |

You rode a Washington Twp. Flxible Metro B. Those buses [used on the 400/403/406] are TOTAL P.O.S. [I ride these junkers every day]. The only good-looking bus out of that sorry-assed bunch is 3239, the bus NJT took away from Red And Tan upstate. If you want better-looking Metro B's, ride the ones used by Newton Ave [routes 404/405/407/413/419]. They are in MUCH better condition, also Newton Ave have all of the D's assigned to South Jersey. |

Ah that explains it, although I thought I rode a decent Metro B (with windows you could actually see out of) on the 403, but maybe i was wrong. Which Depot has 1770? That is one of the best buses in Sojo! |
