SEPTA Operator Eric Bohlert of Midvale District informed me that #5200-5220 are being overhauled but it won't be a full overhaul. The buses will be given a "light overhaul" (which most likely consists of cosmetic work on the buses) Darryl Bulls |

Be nice if they can some how fix that poor acceleration on the NABIs. On friday night, I've ridden on a NABI which only went 15 MPH on the 1-mile hill from Northwestern Ave to the Chestnuthill Loop! |

15mph is bad but when i had 5172 on the 108 a month ago it almost stalled it dropped down to 10mph and i though i wasnt going to make it i think they should like u said fix the acceleration but also improve the back doors by eliminating that stupid delay it really annoying when people yell back door when the light is on and they start pushing on the door and sometimes causing it to jam (I was on the hill going to 69th st headed from marshall rd when the bus almost stalled) |

That back door thing really does need to get fixed. The doors open way to slow and some NABIs open slower then others. |

That was a major problem from day one with them, and the most that was done was to adjust the brake interlock release to just regular service pressure; before you almost had to stand on the pedal for the interlock to let go. |

Hate to be a nitpicker, but I like the rear door delay cause it's like a trademark for the Bricks, though. An improvement on those doors doesn't hurt. |

I guess we all have our own weird fetishes! The Rear door delay can be very annoying if you are in a rush and your connecting bus is near by! |

5201 rides pretty good last time it was on the 56. It's about the same as any decent brick. And 5203 (last on the 55) could race any 5600 on the freeway.
