As we all aware of Septa is retiring some of our beloved NABIs. So I decided to make this post for NABIs only. Septa NABIs only. Post anything you see about a Septa NABI, as NABIs are currently being rotated around Depots to mile them up fast as possible. So whenever you see a NABI post it here. Well I don't expect people to post every NABI but at least keep a lookout for them like who got moved from that depot to this depot. It will just be helpful what we can post for NABIs at PTV for like 2 more years well Septa NABIs. |

Uh. there are about over 300 nabis around. Yet, you expect us to post everytime we see a nabi around? I have a question for you, how often do you get out of the Walls of South Philadelphia? There's tons of nabis running in West Philadelphia, North Philadelphia ex:H/XH, NorthEast and many other areas!! |

Oh boy there are SOOOO many bricks here at greene and chelten. I saw 5191, 5252, 5292, 5293, 5298, 5347, 5353, 5357 and 5359 in the past 10 minutes. (with a few hybrids here and there). Sorry to burst your bubble, Nick, but there are so many NABIs around and I don't always want to post every one I see. And they are guaranteed to be around for the next three years at least. |

I think the NABIs are what's keeping this system halfway interesting. four years from now we''ll likely have a 100% New Flyer low floor fleet!! I don't think they are bad buses, in fact I Think they make the perfect higher capacity bus at SEPTA. |

Well, who knows how much longer that's going to be the case. I'm surprised more bricks haven't been pulled from service in the past few months. |

I wish they kept the original 5000s from Callowhill for awhile longer. As far as I am concerned, the 5002-5058 group @ Callowhill had the best stop annunciators & some of the better sounding HVAC units. Also, when they idled, they didn't have that rough idle when laying over. Now we all know how SEPTA feels about its streetcar/trackless divisions. 5002-5058 should have been set aside between Callowhill & Frankford & serve as extras for whenever the subway surface, the 15 & when the trackless routes have to be bussed for an extended period of time, let alone for emergency shuttles on the BSL & MLF. Basically, 5002-5058 should have been set aside for emergency use systemwide. |

I meant the MFL. I don't think the 5002-5058 had that many miles on them to begin with. I am surprised that the 5100s from Frontier are still running. Have any of the 5100s from Frontier topped 1 million miles? the 5100s @ Frontier were for use exclusively on the Oxford Valley routes, then spread out districtwide when they got the cutaway vans, then thrown into the "Norristown Mix", & now Comly. |
