During the first week of the new Route 50(week of February 11-17,2007), I spotted 5568 quite frequently.

I spotted 5294 on the 50 today.

For the first week, they didn't have the signs programmed for Route 50.

Both buses are operated by Krap(f)s.

The 205 and 306 (and apparently an occasional 204) use buses apparently bought by Krap(f)s with their logo on the body of the bus and the customary SEPTA stripe on the top of the bus, and roll signs instead of electronic signs.

They're National Coach (read: Champion) low floor buses on a 2007 International chasis. Only a slightly better ride than SEPTA's cutaways, but that's not saying a heck of a lot.

For their Beeline service between Coatesville and Great Valley, they're using at least 2 Glaval cutaway buses on a Ford F-650 chasis. Those buses actually make SEPTA's cutaways look pretty good.

Schedules for the 205 & 306 are now on SEPTA's website.
