Rode 2660 (Nova) on the Y46 today, that bus is a mess. Coming from Century 3 Mall, going up this one hill I swear we were going under 10mph. On flat road it did better.


Rode 5424 or 5434 (Advantage with DD50/B400R) today also on the Y46, a mess. I was up front standing and the driver was complaining to another passenger about how slow it was. It had very slow acceleration. Also, on-board there was almost a fight. I got on at Southbank. There was this lady mad at someone else because she was pregnant, and when she sat down that person was invading her space. The driver also was saying to others when they got off that the lady was crazy.

Also on Youtube some of my recent video's got deleted, I have no idea how. So unless it is a bug, those are gone forever since I don't keep backups.

Big Neo's are back! Saw 3055 on the 61D, first time seeing one on a 61/71 since maybe early summer (a DD50 Neo I mean).

Past three days there have been big Neo sighting's on the 61D, monday morning I will catch one. Quote from Pittsburgh Transit Talk forum:

Here is the "official" list posted at Ross for the Cummins ISL Repower program:

5201, 5203, 5204, 5205,
5231, 5234, 5236,
5329, & 5330

These also have "soot filter lights" mounted on the foward dash to indicate when these buses need serviced.

This list was posted I believe sometime within the last 2 weeks.



EDIT: Today found 5330 on the 58, only recorded the outside because inside the AC was on and it was almost indisquingishable from any other Gillig with AC on. Overall, can't wait until I find one without AC on.

Are these Gilligs louder than the other ISL powered buses, similar to SEPTA's repowered New Flyers?

Not at all, Septa's NF's are louder. Can't wait to ride one without the AC on.
