I went to Germantown this morning at 9 am and saw the following: 8221, 8222, 8223, 8224, 8225, 8226, 8227 and 8229.
If any of you see a new hybrid in revenue service before I do, then I guess you can post it here.
I was told that they will be active within a matter of days or weeks

"Again"??? They were out there before? I went to Broad and Erie and I saw zero hybrids operating on the 56...or any midvale route for that matter

Since when do any bus go to germantown for mechanical issues. I know when NEVER. 8231 was NEVER in service nor any of these new buses as of yet. It not that big of a deal they are just like of the buses.

A bunch of the 8200-8219 had mechanical issues. These buses were resting in the parking lot at Germantown for several months before they were placed into service.

I agree about 8231, as of this date, it has not been placed into service. In fact, during the time when it was reported, it was reported to still be in MI getting work done on the bus.

Actually, Quite often. 5790 was there for mechanical issues, some of the Older Hybrids were there for mechanical issues... and also, if the hybrids aren't at Germantown for mechanical issues, then why are they there? :o

I'm guessing that the status of 8231 is a Mystery, but we'll find out soon enough of it's loaction ;)
