3396(or 99, I forget which) on the jack(across from the R stand) with no rear wheels. 5947 at 46-Market on Truancy Duty. And an unknown Victory Nabi on the 108 that sounded like an Neo CD stuck in 3rd Gear.

WOW! I saw and rode 3430 on...the 73! That's quite rare to see a Neo on that route - in fact, I haven't even see a NABI run on that route yet!

Much to my dismay, I saw Frontier's 5323 running on route 15 (two bad things right there). :( The sign wasn't working, though. Give us our bus back, Callowhill - you already took 5901! <_<

The other day, I rode 5392 on the 80. That bus was loaded with cameras, including one looking out the front windshield. Upon arrival at Olney, I saw 7210 with cameras as well (including one on the outside above the door). Looks like SEPTA's testing cameras...again...

Truancy duty - SEPTA has teamed up with the Philadelphia PD and school district to provide a bus to pick up kids who are cutting school. Now, how do people know it's on Truancy duty - I doubt there's a sign that says "Truancy Bus"...is there?

U can tell it on trauancy duty usually by the cops on the bus, and cop cars around the bus. The best place to spot that bus is usually at Olney Terminal, Frankford Transportation Center, and 15th & Market on any school day.

Speaking of the truancy bus, I saw it once back on March 14th, 2007 parked on the sidewalk on Market Street at One Drexel Plaza just west of 30th Street. Lots of cops on and about the Midvale Shark. The block number was (3)369, which leads me to believe this truancy bus is an L bus in the AM peak. You're right about it travelling to major terminals in the city. I've even heard it has gone outside the city to 69th Street Terminal in Upper Darby, probably because the kids cutting school figure they can't get them outside the city - 'fraid not my friend. I got some pics when I saw it right here. On that day it was 5931.

Rode 5312 on the 104 inbound from West Chester. The A/C worked , nearly froze on that bus.

Rode 5401 back from 69th Street. At one point the driver put the bus in neutral and she revved it up. ???????
