The only buses to go to frankford depot are only 8319-8339. I wonder why they have not come yet. It may take a while because they start in 2008 and end in 2011 or 2012 with the Puchase from New Flyer of 400 New Hybrids.

The 08-09 orders for 100-120 per year are complete and frankford got the 2 options for a total of 40 buses. The order is set to end in 2011. There's still 200-240 buses to come with 100-120 in 2010 and 100-120 in 2011. |

If they were all in then the Nabi's would be gone (maybe?). |

That is what SEPTA's service plan says for the next few years. The NABI's have lasted their useful life. It still fascinates me that the Neoplan AN-440's held out 18 to 19 years, a fine piece of German engineering! Many operators you speak to hold them in high regard. Others were just the opposite, they hated them. |

To correct the math.... 100 buses arrived in 2008 (8120-8219) 120 buses arrived in 2009 (8220-8339) Only 220 buses on the property. The first 100 was the base order for this year; Frankford got 20 buses in the option order (8320-8339). That's 220 delivered, and anywhere from 200 to 260 to go. Expect 8340-8439 or 8459 in 2010. |
