Saw 8309 on 9 leaving the office and decided to ride it instead of walk to ME. It was on block 0013 (yes, I know it's wrong!). Two things noticeable - the interior lighting is very bright to the point of being glaring and there is a blue frame on the back bulkhead above the bench seat (not sure if this is for notice cards, ads, etc). Still had that new bus smell.

I don't know how many more slybrids there are left but we will see.
these slybrids came SSSSOOOOOOO fast.

I guess they might go with the option of 20 hybrids a year, considering the rate this delivery is going.
What the heck took SEPTA 9 x 10234531 years to get those

I saw it too....

8309 was inbound on the 9 at 30th and Market at just after 5pm. Looking nice and shiny!

Block 5013, so that was it....I couldn't see it from where I was standing.

I caught it at 6:00 at 5th Street westbound.

I was told the interior lighting is LED. Anyone know for sure? It sure is bright, if nothing else!

Particularly on 9, but a few times on 27, I've noticed the '0' in the first digit of the block instead of the '5', or the block number only without the preceding digits (e.g. 6, 73, etc). Block 5520 was displayed on 7153 on 9 this AM.

If 1234 has the gut to put Beluga Slugs into our streets then they can easily expect to deliver 5221 by freight truck, drop it off at OTC and just leave it and expect it to serve route L.
Yeah, or save 5002 as a historic bus, since it was the oldest NABI.
Hmm, if they didn't save a Neoplan, I highly doubt they'd save a NABI.

Or maybe they would and I would be even angrier.
