I was told this morning that SEPTA is taking their Trackless operators and training them on the new Hybrid buses. It's a 2 hour familiarization course. You never know when they will have to pull a trackless for some reason, and a bus pops up so you'd better be ready to drive anything they give you. |

That makes sense, in that you figure the trackless drivers are already trained on the diesel Flyers and NABIs. It's only a matter of time before Elmwood operators have to get trained on the Flyers - diesel and hybrids. It kinda ticked me off to see hybrids on the 102 shuttle while Bricks show up anytime there's a long-term Elmwood shuttle. |

I think SEPTA was trying to impress in Sharon Hill. But I agree with you, the Bricks should not be on the Elmwood shuttle. Some day, when we get all the hybrids in, the Bricks will be all gone. That's the plan,anyway. |
