You're all but assured of seeing them on the P1 on weekends. I also see them regularly on other East Liberty routes (I've spotted them in the 82 and 88) and apparently, they show up on the 61C (which serves Kennywood). |

Hmm...better than nothing, but I can't help but feel that the only annual guarantee is with the union and PAT Management. A band-aid, if you will. |

I was in Pittsburgh over the past weekend (8/16-8/18) & stayed near Robinson Towne Center. Rode the 28X three times (along with one ride on the 24.) Got 56xx Gilligs on one of the 28X rides on Friday & the 24 on Sunday. Also landed a ride on both types of Neoplan artics for the other two rides on the 28X: suburban 3070 on Friday outbound, & transit 3102 on Sunday outbound. 3070 seemed tired & struggled to maintain 45 on the Parkway West, while 3102 easily cruised along at 55-60 on the same road. Also got a ride on the 40 Mt. Washington with 1522, one of the 35-foot Gillig Phantoms. The 40 is a good test of any bus operator's skill, between the steep grades, tight turns, & sharp curves that litter the route. Port Authority really needs to do a better job updating the route listings on the bus stop signs, especially outside of downtown. Many of the route listed on the signs in Robinson Twp. haven't operated in years, & nearly all the signs I saw along the 40 still call the route its old number, 41E. Also, the sooner that the system can get the ConnectCard smart farecard system fully up and running, the better. With the base fare now 2.50, a two-zone ride 3.75, and transfers 1.00, boarding dwell times on inbound buses can be maddeningly long. Edited by MichaelBug, Aug 21 2012, 03:30 PM.

Very interesting article. Actually, the sound the T cars are making sounds exactly like the noise coming from the MFL. I wonder if SEPTA did something similar to this line, especially with the new rails that were installed on the Market Street El. It really is an obnoxious sound, especially in a tunnel or metal elevated structure. |
