I need to start riding on some more Neoplans. event hough they are one year older than me, i would rather ride a old neoplan than a crappy nabi.

I noticed that all Southern nabis have terrible suspension.

including 5365 that i rode on the G/7657block

Ride the 75 , the operator of 2102 block always has one.

3372 is a good bus,mostly everything works on it.

3427 has malfunctioning center doors. My operator had 3427 and had to switch it for
another bus, and they gave him 3372. The doors were supposedly fixed on 3427, but messed up again so he had to switch. The Neo's continue to fall apart.

Rode 5138 from West Chester to 69th Street this morning. 5 minutes early at West Goshen and 8 minutes early getting into 69th street. My motto with Red Arrow is get to your stop early, I've seen this happen before.

In Philly, Bus 3425 Rte. 59 (2001 block) at Castor & Cottman broke down in middle of the intersection. The driver heard a big bang then it quit. He was able to get the bus re-started enough to move it out of the intersection and called control. At 7:00 AM they brought him another bus, 3422, with no heat or defroster, Supervision is mighty thin in Frankford. It takes forever to get something done up there.

On Route 75, 3421 had a hot front wheel, smell and all. The driver checked it, and the wheel/rim was hot to the touch and the smell was pretty bad. The driver missed his 7:40 trip, his follower pulled a double headway and led at 7:47(split the street). Finally he was told to take the bus in and the Frankford mechanic noted that the wheel had cooled down but gave him another bus , 3443.

The rails on the EL were slick, our train slid one car length past a station this afternoon

I had a very fast and loud New Flyer on thew 104 on the way home toda.
