Five Points (Rising Sun & Oxford & Cottman)

Neoplan AN-460 : 18
New Flyers: 18, 24, 67, 70
Nabi's: 18, 24, 67, 70
Neoplan AN-440 : 67
Eldorados : 77

(You will almost NEVER see a lawnmower on the 18.. how could they justify putting an artic on the 18 for 75% of all trips, and then throw in an eldorado??)

4th & Market:

New Flyers(8000s)-17(57)
Hybrids-17(57)
New Flyers(5411-5470)-38,44,121
(5613-5646,5656,5713-5752,5925-5950-57 Midvale)
Neoplan Artics-33
NABIs- 17,38,44,57,121

An Eldorado is next to non-existent on the 57. The residents & general riding public below South Street would have a raging fit if they saw an Eldrado covering any of their trips.

Wissahickon transfer center



the 35 used to stop there with the only eldorado, but is still in the area comming out of midvale


There is still an AM run that starts at Wissahickon (it actually loads on Ridge Ave at the northbound stop) that goes to Fountain St/Roxborough High. It leaves there around 7:25. I've seen it signed as both a 35 and a 440. In the old 35 schedule it used to go into service as a regular 35 after this run, but I'm not sure what it does now (I'm assuming it returns to Midvale since the 35 is already covered by its single bus at that point).

Speaking of Wissahickon, the new shelter appears to be finished (finally!).

Speaking of places to see just about any bus, the Metroplex stop for 27, 95 and 97 has anything that runs calling there:

27 - all artics

95 - anything from Champions to NF's

97 - anything from El D's to NF's

This location will blow all of your @$$es out of the water:

Juniper and Market:

Virtually every type of SEPTA bus in the fleet: NABIs, New Flyers [diesel and hybrids], Neo Artics, the occasional sighting of an Eldorado [likely on the 62, and once or twice on the C!], the rare sighting of a Neo AN440 [usually seen when the El fraks up], plus the NJT fleet-Flxible Metro B and D transit/Suburban, MCI D4000's, RTS [both sizes- the baby ones are a rare sight in Philly but they occasionally come across the river], and the Parkway apartment shuttle buses [The ex-WMATA Flxible, the Gillig Advantage, that blue and gray Thomas monstrosity], the cheap-@$$ Temple U buses, the Big Bus Co Doubledeckers, the purple Phlash fake trolleys, and finally all of the Greyhound and Tourist buses ever made.

This should put all of the crappy locations previously mentioned to shame.
