I too have noticed that the first half of the articulated's don't have advertisements, I can recall one bus that is in that group 7251. What up with that? On Wenesday I spotted a neoplan articulated traveling on stenton ave with an ugly green full wrap. Anybody know what this wrap is and what is the number?

Was the bus empty or did it have people on it?

On this weeks transpass it has LRV kawasaki 9064 s/e old livery. I faked it in class and asked what is this? The majority of the class said bus. One of my friends though I hated septa and said why was i drawing the that. I said it does not look like septa what is it. one of my friends said it was old.

-5111 on the 70
-5222 on the 47
- El dorado spotted at 5th and olney morning
-5524 on the K
-one neoplan heard in class today
-i spotted a nabi on the 70 next to destination sign it would have septa logo
the logo was reversed sided and it had red on the left side and blue on the right side. The regular septa logo is blue on the left side and red on the right side ANOTHER COMMON ERROR BY SEPTA
-5697 overhauled resting at 5th and godfrey loop
-8064 on the 47
-8008 ON THE 47 YESTERDAY

BIG one here.

I'm pretty sure it was the RTS, 4462 I saw this morning. It was going Northbound up Ogontz Ave, and made a left-hand turn onto Olney Ave, heading westbound. I was at a pizza joint on the corner there to get some breakfast before school and I saw it make the turn. It was followed by an orange SEPTA work truck. I whipped out my phone as fast as I could to take a pic, but it was up the block, but I did get a semi-low quality shot of the rear.

Theres the RTS back during the Bus Roadeo.

As for the 124/125 not serving Wissahickon Transfer Center, that is nothing new. This goes as far back as the 1960s, when the 125 was numbered the 45.

The 45 didn't start serving Wissahickon until the early 1980s. At first, I think it was you had to notify the operator upon boarding the bus that you wanted off at Wissahickon in both directions. As time went on, the procedure was usually applied for inbound trips only. Then, as more time progressed, everything depended upon as to how I 76 was/is during rush hours. If I 76 was/is screwed up, the buses bypass Wissahickon.

Correct me if I am wrong, but in the AM peak,many if not all outbound trips bypass Wissahickon. In the PM peak, many if not all inbound trips bypass Wissahickon. Or it could be the other way around.

Until the early 1980s, the 45(today's 125) DID NOT OPERATE ON WEEKNIGHTS, WEEKENDS OR HOLIDAYS. Then, they implemented Saturday Service BUT NO SUNDAY OR HOLIDAY SERVICE. In the mid 1980s, they implemented full weekend base service on the route. Can anyone imagine not having Sunday service on the 124/125 today? Not me.
