Today there was an eldorado at olney terminal in the section for the L and another passed by, not sure if it was on the 26 or out of service. No neoplans on the 3:40 or 4pm 8's.

Also, this morning I saw a hybrid on Stenton Ave that read route 23.

4551 on the 113/114/113/116/108/104 4503 block today. It is currently doing the 4:35PM 104 to West Chester express to Eagle Road. Who the hell put 4551 on that block in the morning knowing that the bus, after doing the 114 with 113 pull in and pull out, does a 116, a 108, and then that 104 trip?

Also while riding a crowded (some standees, I was one of them) 4:20PM 109 (5857 / 4408 block), I accidentally stepped on someone's foot. I say "Sorry, My bad." This guy says "Next time you step on my fucking foot, say excuse me. Next time you step on my fucking foot I'll slap you in your fucking face. Do it again!" The intial action on my part was a complete accident (I moved back involuntarily when the bus came to a stop). The way he react despite my repeated "Sorry" was way out of hand. Next time I see him I'll make sure to not sit / stand near him and I'll definately try to avoid stepping on his foot. Good thing it was just me traveling alone cause if Nolan or any other of my friends were with me, there would have been trouble. I can't do anything about him so I'll leave it there.

Joe, that guy had no right to act that way to you. Some people are real a**holes. and you meet them all on public transit. I ride the 15 with my friend, driver Roro Garrett. You should see the scum that gets on, especially the screaming high school kids.

Mr Greene, ride the 52 from end to end at 3:00pm during a normal scholoday. Tell me what you think. If you're on the 15, pay attention to the 40th & Girard Avenue area in either direction during school letouts. Doesn't it get interesting?

To me, no. It gets boring, watching society slip away.

I ride the 52 often, as well as the 31 & 38. I hear & see the schoolchildren, using obscenities beyond the comprehension of the average human mind.

Years ago, the School Distict of Philadelphia used to have charter schoolbuses of their own to transport these brats from end to end. Up until about 1988, they used the 1973 & 1978 International 66 passenger schoolbuses with 4 speed manual stickshifts for these school charters.

I wonder why the school district gave the charter services up.

CA, there's nothing worst then riding the 52 at night. I remember one time I was on there around 10PM and it was like hell on board. With people standing, one time the driver snip out on the passengers and was like "ring the fu*king bell". This was after when some young bull's got on the bus and pissed her offl

Don't get me started with the Be-Be's kids that catch the H/XH, 23, 26, and K on a daily basis. Ya'll have to remember that I live near Germantown High School, and a large charter and Pickett Middle is only FOUR BLOCKS APART. Forget it if you want to catch anything between 3 and 5. The 23, for example, if it actually comes, two or three at a time are all packed to the rim. If you're at a stop OTHER than Germantown and Chelten you're waiting for at least an hour and a half, LESS if you're lucky, in both directions. And did I mention, they're always ready to fight?

Ok someone expalin this one.....

I was taking my son to Milky Way Farm in Chester Springs Saturday to pick a pumpkin. As was driving on Route 30 west just past Route 401 I saw NABI 5145 heading toward Paoli with the sign reading Not In Service but with a paper 204 sign covering the block number.

Did Kharpf's have a shortage?? Are Frontier operators trained to cover this route in emergencies?

I beleive there's a shortage of cutaways in service which promt SEPTA to redirect depots and to use whatever else they could spare on the route from frontier.
