Rode 5650 on the 104. It had one purple seat cover near the front, behind the driver.
Our driver almost passed 3 people up on West Chester Pike. he backed up to get them and let them in the center door.

Spotted 5309 & 5426 on the 15. The are short of trolleys. I rode on 2335.

Here is an excellent DVD on the workings of the old PTC company, plus a great slide show at the end.

Yesterday I was disappointed that my driver didn't let me out the back door at Plymouth Meeting Mall (they used to make people walk to the front of the bus to pay the zone surcharges, but now the L and 27 are 1 zone rides - the driver didn't ask for a flip of the pass or 50 cents though...)

Today, I spotted a new wrapped artic! It wasn't for wired, though, although the bus is black. It was for Coke Zero. The number of the bus? The ever-so-unique 7244.

Yesterday on City Ave, between 3-3:30pm I saw a NABI on the 65 headed to 69th Street. It had a lot of smoke coming from the engine, I think it might have been on fire.

Mr Greene,

You lucked up on that occasion. I don't see many Neos along Frankford Avenue anymore. They might place only about 10 to 15 in revenue service on Monday through Friday, mainly during peak periods.

3432 lived a good & normal life for a SEPTA Neoplan. When assigned to Germantown, it was a dependable bus. When assigned to Callowhill, it was a dependable bus that rode as smooth as could be expected.

The day they retired 3458, that killed any enthusiasm that I had towards Neoplans.
3458 is a Neo I really miss. 3458 didn't get sent away yet did it?
