816 still does not have the buttons installed properly. They claim they are just stuck inside. I was a mechanical designer, how does the button fall inside? SEPTA has a vehicle that coasts twice the price of a bus and and is not fixing the minor things on it. Nice image. 802 has a bad transfer cutter, the list goes on and on. Chuck Greene |

Neoplan also made ETB's. DE40LFR's were available in 2006... something to kick around in the 'ol noggin... Edited by Septa_kid, Mar 12 2009, 09:09 AM.

Huh??????? I don't get the connection. You must understand, though, that later Neoplans weren't really all that great. It's a primary reason why they shut down - they had to keep rebuilding all of those buses! Our ETBs, in my opinion, are better than the Neoplan ones (in Boston). They just have a lot of teething issues that need to be addressed.... |

59/75 -2102 had 826 today. The A/C fail light came on, so he was forced to turn the climate control system off. The continuing saga of the troubles of the trackless..... |

It's been hot the past few days. About 4 Trackless operators are saying that ever since New Flyer /Frankford District fooled with the heat, the A/C is not as cold as last year. As you might remember, last year , the Trackless coaches were very cold, one operator called them "meat lockers" Chuck ,(I remember last year. I had to wear a light jacket) |

817 has lousy A/C, a woman came by the operator and was fanning herself, it was so hot. They are saying this A/C is worse than the old trackless. Passengers are pushing open the bottoms of some of the the windows to get some fresh air . They fooled with the heat this winter and now the A/C stinks.

#824 was operating today on either the 59 or 75. It was written up Monday for lousy AC, and back in service with lousy A/C. They just don't fix them! There are major problems with some of the climate control systems on various TT coaches. I'm surprised New Flyer is not fixing them. |
