What does the term "Deadheading" mean?

Deadheading means when a bus is heading back to the depot without any passengers.

I AM SUCH AN IDIOT I must remember to log back in before posting a topic

-the same bus you see im my avatar picture is 5916 and i spotted it on the 70 today
-5693 on the 47 in need of a overhaul


- this morning while waiting for the K bus the bus came the same time school started (8:oo) i boarded a Nabi my ride from 5th and godfrey to 17th and chelten was sopposed to be 15 minutes long i would have been late for school. But she floored it we wnt as fast as push and pull train down 66th avenue. My 15 minute ride was 5 minutes! I had to walk all the way to the front to thank the bus driver and she was a female! that bus that saved my attendance record was NABI 5280. I cant thank the bus driver and the bus myself.

for that i am putting an nabi on my avatar picture

its usually the depot, or to the begining of another trip, like an 18 deadheading FROM midvale to rising sun and knor.

Anyways, I've been heading over to Frankford to catch an 440 on the 67, but no luck. Plenty going on the 88 and the 66, but no love for the 67.

5621 promotes SEPTA:careers.

5937 on the 47 with that fare paying passenger wanting to deposit so much change in the farebox. That's weird, but on the Midvale routes that run through the heart of North Philadelphia the operator will consider himself/herself lucky if he/she doesn't have to go through a series of "episodes" to get a non fare paying rider to pay the fare.

Again, on the Midvale routes that run through the heart of North Philadelphia, at times, some of the general riding public will trick the operator by putting in school tokens, missing the fare/transfers by pennies/dimes, pleading with the operator to let them go & lastly, if the operator keeps the back door open, they'll sneak on at the bus stop while the traffic light is red if there are a bunch of people up front trying to get on. Look at the 23 @ Germantown & Lehigh sometime, either direction.

I remember that happening 2 years ago on the subway surface tunnel
a woman just steped in the back door and just stood there the driver was not doing anything Why?

-Maybe because the trolley driver was scared and did not want a dispute.
-Because the trolley driver thought the woman was fine.

JUST REMEMBERED: My mother's friend works in the Market-Frankford yards, Frankford yard.

I remember my friend telling me he and his father would sneak in the back door. "we would be laughing" he remarked.
