Here's the link: http://septa.org/service/preview_schedules.html

Um, the 139 looks nice, will be on it, the first chance I get.
Noticeably absent is the 14 round-trips that is supposed to be added to route 201. I guess that will be added when the RRD scheudles change in October.

Most of the added service is great, especially the 129. Service between 9 and 5, pretty much!

Although, on he map for route 111, SEPTA says the service to Chadds Ford is weekdays only, but the schuedles has service going there days a week, with no service to Penn State on Saturdays and Sundays, as well as Lima Acres adn Franklin Mint.

CTD scheudes change 8/31, 9/1 and 9/2, as well as 11/1..so far..Remember, this is subject to change :)

Not all changes occurring now. On Nov. 3rd the 103, 104, 109, 112, 113, 115, 119 and others will be changing. They are being done in stages because SEPTA is awaiting arrival of the first 100 new buses. This is from an email I received from Barry at SEPTA customer service.

It is great they extended the 111 to Chadds Ford 7 days a week, but I don not se it lasting0 The ridership is not really there now during the peak hours.

Exactly. Now, I believe none of the CTD changes will occur until November. Alright, let's start our vote? Where do you think the first 100 Hybrids are going? I think Callowhill & Southern

Finally...Sunday service on the 129! This should be really good.

Southern..100% they get everything!!
Callowhill.. 100% Needed for increased service on the 21 and 42
Midvale...50%
Victory...50% Perhaps they would get some buses from Southern?

Comly is getting the worst of Allegheny's Snakes in exchange for almost all of their ZFers, so they're fine. Frankford isn't seeing anything major just yet but I'm worried about Red Arrow and Frontier. I'm putting money on Callowhill seeing the lion's share of the hybrids followed by Midvale and Southern and knowing that Callowhill has the oldest of the NABIs means that what they don't need probably will go to Suburban. The other problem is that Red Arrow NEEDS SPEED. The schedules still suck.

So my boys and girls at rail gets Southern Rejects and Frontier gets CallowTRASH.

(I know what I said: Victory Avenue falls under Rail - ALL OPERATIONS, and Frontier is BUS B) )

They put the artics only on the 14 in Comly and the depot also has the oldest of the NABIs too.

Nolan have you been around here in PHL recently? The zfers are not your glorified faster new flyers anymore. Most of these coaches which I've ridden on recently has a turbolag as worst as the Neoplan artics! I'm starting to think the NABIs are a better choice to put on some of Victory's faster routes versus the Zfers!
