Wow, in terms of rt 8, it seems like the Neoplans are only used in tripper service - afterwards its straight New Flyer from there.

I didnt see any Neos on the 8 today, but i did spot 3394 on the 3, 3323 on the 5, 3440, 3430, 3417, and 3416 on the 66 (hmm, aparently it still does run a good bit of Neos), 3427 on either the 73 or 84, and 3436 on the 5.

I did ride 3430 and was VERY disappointed. As I once remembered it as the "King Neo Screamer" (where the lockup is inactive and the bus doesnt do the regular shift), it now shifts like a normal ZF Neo. Why I called it the King was because this bus would rev up and roar so much, you could feel the vibration of the engine. It just sounded so POWERFUL - wow! Unfortunately/fortunately its not like that anymore - just another SEPTA disappointment referring to a specific living bus (the other one being 4501, and i suppose the rest of the Dorado fleet as well).

By the way, anyone see the "Willow Grove" dedicated buses? So far, 5707 and 5750 are dedicated (the banner ads, regular ads, and rear wrap) for the Willow Grove Park Mall.

Had a sighting outside or Reading Terminal today. Saw a demo model of a Hybrid NABI 60BRT bus. It is as FUGLY in person as it is in the many pictures posted on various bus boards on the 'net. These guys were probaby trying to sell this ghastly monstrosity to SEPTA [it was on a sales call], and I hope they NEVER see the streets of Philly.

My only real regret was that I left my camera in my bag at the office, or else I would have taken a picture of the bus. ;)

9090 is at Elmwood. I spotted it on the 36 @ 68th & Elmwood Avenue this morning.

Spotted 9017 on the 36 @ 70th & Elmwood Avenue yesterday. 9017 still has the two piece windows. Thank God.

LOL that bus in philadelphia, so it appears the the city gets the call on this one not SEPTA. IF SEPTA were to get the choose they would likely rejected nabi due to the problems they had with them in the past.
