I hope they don't retire 5015, it is so different from the other NABI's it somewhat sounds like a New Flyer

Just curious: what time did you see that POS? Because 3556 is a BSO block that (at last check) turned into either a 47 or 57 depending on the day of the week.

Are you sure? It could be a southern bus. Block numbers are hare to understand on NABI's because of the three digit limit

You're quite right, because Southern's C trippers are 755x.

And the three digit blocks aren't that bad. Try deciphering the K-cars! I've been around them all my life and I sometimes forget!!

Just curious: what time did you see that POS? Because 3556 is a BSO block that (at last check) turned into either a 47 or 57 depending on the day of the week.
3558 block on the BSO turns into a 47 trip on Monday through Friday morning.

3556 block on the BSO turns into a C-Cheltenham run on WEEKDAYS & a 57 run on SATURDAYS(perhaps on Sundays as well).

3554 block on the BSO turns into a 57 run during the weekday am peak period.

3557 block on the BSO turns into a C- Nedro run on weekdays.

3550, 3551 & 3552 blocks on the BSO turn into weekday am peak period trips on the C- Cheltenham division.

Except for 3556 & 3557 blocks during the week, the remainder of the BSO runs turn into one trip(round trip) runs on the C, 47 or 57.

5007 on C, 3557 block @ 4:25pm en route to City Hall on 10-14-08.

The 5000s assigned to Callowhill(or formerly were)have their issues, but I think that the Southern group of 5300s are indeed the worst of the NABI buses.

5002 on the 44: about 50mph. max. If you're riding with an "oldhead", maybe 55mph, maybe.

5382 on a deadhead from Southern to "wherever": 40mph on the expressway.
max.

Everyday there is a NABI and Southern hybrid parked in that same location at 5th and Godfrey. Today was a repeat, this time the NABI was #5378.

This could possibly be a southern bus.
