One thing I did notice is that now the 13 will have more trips originating out of Darby T.C. during the PM peak. They also took the lone Darby trip out of the AM peak, which was the 7:18 originating out of Juniper/City Hall.

The operator of route 75-2102 had his picture taken for the new cover.

He's the only operator that uses a kitchen timer in the windshield.

Did SEPTA eliminate the portion of the 44 that runs through the Wynnefield area(City, 52nd south, Overbrook, 54th north)?

I don't see as to how they could elminate the 54th & City trips?

Oh yes, Saint Joseph's may have complained about buses laying over around their dormitories.

SEPTA seems to be confused when dealing with the 36. When the new schdules took affect in September, they added the short turns at Island Ave. Now, with the new schedules, they actually eliminated many of those runs in the afternoon.

They just don't know what to do. When they have all runs start at Eastwick, riders along Elmwood Ave (East of 65th Street) complain about the trolleys being too crowded (which in some cases they are). But when they have runs start/end at 73rd & Elmwood, riders on Island Ave complain about the lack of service.

It's better than it once was though. There use to be a time where the 36 had LIMITED service down to Penrose Plaza, with NO service after about 10p.m.

No, some of the 121 trips are now found in the 44 schedule. With the additional of a 1200PM trip from 5th and market which goes to Gladwaynne.

Hurray for the 150 - I took that bus this morning to work. Funny, all the people that were there thought it was a 90 (due to the Dorado) but alas, it was not. A nice, quick ride to the office, instead of the "North Philadelphia Shuffle" I had to do.
