Victory should send 5136, 5138, 5142, 5144, 5148-5150 and 5324 to Frontier since they already have 5135, 5137, 5140-5141, 5143, 5145-5147, 5151-5153, 5157 and 5322-5323 and 5325-5329. Frontier should send 4555 and 4556 to Victory as they already have 4540-4554 and 4557. Comly should send 5330-5331 to Frontier.

Why?

First, Victory and Frontier are in the Suburban Transit Division (I will NOT abbreviate that, lol). Also, 4555 and 4556 WERE Victory buses, but they don't really need so many Dorados down there so they sent those two to us.

Although I do like the mass of NABIs going up to Frontier in your plan, must they be Victory and Comly junkers?

In regards to the earlier Airport Express bus, I agree - we should bring the actual bus back (not the route). To bad it's probably razor blades by now.....I may actually be shaving with it! :blink:

When Frontier got 5326-5335 in the spring of 1997, 5330-5331 were up there for less than a year then they got sent to Comly. Both buses are beyond hope to even think about going up there.

Laugh if you must, but what if Southern got all of the 5100s currently assigned to Victory & Frontier in exchange for 8000s? Southern has nothing but stop & go rotues. Why do they have so many 8000s?

The 8000s down there don't get used to their fullest potential unless they're on deadheads or the 37 in the Elmwood section(65th & Lindbergh Boulevard) & Eastwick (84th Street).

Because, at the time they were delivered, Southern was the only depot that was capable of using the Ultra Low Sulfer Diesel fuel required for those buses (and the hybrids).

I think that Frankford & Comly need combine opertations. Since they are minutes away from each other.

And where exactly would you house a combined Frankford/Comly operation? There's barely enough room at both depots as it is now...

Dont have the 31 bus Cross haveford avenue 4 diffent times. that is so F&$king dumb

Dont have the 89 do a million and a half loops through westmoreland section

KEEP THE NEOPLAN AN440's

Give the one better service, or let the one become an express. Leave 54th city av, go down ridge av and then get on the route 1 extention. people in west philly likes to gamble to and should not have to ride the el and the 50.

Trash those PCCII!!

Route 23 have express service

Reroute the 25 one more time to have it serve all of aramingo av and delawere av. not going through ALL residential neighborhoods

Route 26, Have better service and 1 routing. not 4 diffent 26's going to diffent places

Have the 8 run on saturday to releve pressure off the 26, but only every 30 minutes

Reroute the 18 Express so that it goes up Broad Street and turns left on Cheltenham Avenue and it would stop at Broad and 66th, 19th and Cheltenham, Cheltenham and Washington Lane (Cheltenham Mall), Cheltenham and Ogontz and then local stops to Cedarbrook Mall. Let the 1 become an express on weekdays via Roosevelt Boulevard Extension and make it only stop at places where other routes connect to it. Let the 89, 77 and 35 run every 10 minutes everyday.
