Hmm...that's odd... Is there some sort of center door syndrome? 3490 had the same problem on Friday, and another one did one time before - 3418 if I'm not mistaken. In 3490's case, I think it was that the back doors would open, but wouldn't close unless the bus is shut down (it's a default think I learned when I rode a Neo on the 23). I got a recording of it starting up - too bad an ignorant fool had to go off cussing about the old piece of whatever breaking down and whatnot...fighting words, lol! I might upload it, but please beware of the somewhat strong language. BTW, 3490 looked horrible. Up front the mechanics' favorite tool, lime green duct tape, was used quite a bit to hold up that destination sign panel (above the window). The AC cover had a slight crack in it too. Speaking of 3395, it seems like SEPTA didn't mean what they said when they stated that buses would be repainted every 9 months. This neo has had that rip in the paint scheme ever since its frontier days...over three years ago! Fortunately, by great contrast, 3397 was in great condition! It was a nice, comfty-cozie ride on none other than the 73. Can't believe it? I think it's a regular run on that route. I'm disappointed that they aren't running Neos on the PM 8 trips. I wonder if a Neo could have better held a run than the New Flyer I rode on that route on Friday, which was packed up to the front door... |

The Neos promblem is the doors it seems not the engine but i guess that you cant blame it from breaking down they where made in 1989 and in service for 19 years |

5436 broke down on the 65 at 63rd and Malvern sometime around noon. It was still sitting there at 2:15 with the back cover up. Two hours and Callowhill is only around the corner. |

Rode 5593 on the 104 from West Chester. Did really well on time until we got a wheelchair. Rode a Nabi on the 15 Block 009. Forgot to get the bus number. Rode 7150 on the 65, it kept good time for a Neo-Artic. Rode 5318 home from 69th Street to West Chester. It did well for a Nabi. Chuck Greene |

5026 also broke down on the 65. I spotted 5026 @ Germantown & Chelten Avenues this afternoon. 5026 had the hood cover up. I spotted 2 8000s on the 47, back to back, to South Philadelphia. 8010(7910 block) & 8054(7911 block). Lastly, I spotted a Hybrid on Stenton Avenue @ Sydney Street, a pull in on the 23(deadheading back to Southern), @ 11:45am this past Sunday Morning. Southern has 2 trips on the 23 on Sunday morning but they're very early in the morning. |

I remember 5296 as being a quiet NABI, sounding just like a New Flyer (no whirr or anything). Is that still the case? |
