So looks like PAT now uses orange seatbelts on newer buses. First TA in Pennsylvania to do that as far as I know of.

So Pitt has been testing out the new PAT Smart Cards. I may be about to join in, but the program ends next Friday (the 17th), so I will only get a short time to try it out. And recently a Nova caught fire, they continue to be killed off one by one...

BTW wonder which will last longer, Nabi's, El Dorado's, or Nova's?

Votith and ISL in a New Flyer artic, not sure I like it. The bus was kind of slow, and the sound was ok, but I truly wish PAT would come off their love affair with Voith. Video's and pictures coming as soon as I process/edit them.

Wow, those 2011 New Flyer D60LFR do look great! Looked good with the paint on that bus and notice on the front, its headlights were adjusted so that bicycles on the rack won't obstruct the headlights. Nice photos!

125, how many artics PAT wants to have in 3 years. Many more D60LFR's are coming, as well as more Advantages.

Audio with some details (not mine):

If your saying PAT would like to have 125 Articulated buses in 3 years that makes Pennsylvania TAs have a large number of Articulated buses. I know SEPTA already has 155 Articulated buses on its fleet.

The Next Page / The Future of Port Authority ... by the Port Authority

Quote:
 
Last month, Bob Firth offered sharp criticism of Port Authority ('Ditch the Port Authority -- and Start Over Fresh'). So we invited Port Authority to respond with its own message ... which is: 'We've been making tough choices to protect and improve public transportation for Allegheny County -- but fixing transit funding must be a priority.'
