Why would it be a prank post? It seems that every sixteen years SEPTA redesigns its livery. Not to mention, the coolest livery on SEPTA's fleet back in the 80s and 90s. We need something new now. When the NABIs showed up in Philadelphia back in the fall of 1996, the current livery was introduced and the old one was phased out so I would say by sometime next year, we need to focus on a new design. |

Septa can do us a favor and bring back the livery (the gray trim with the seperate red and blue stripe) they had before this bland current stripe. I believe after they finish changing the appearance of other thing like the bus stop signs, schedules and the BSS cars they will start the process of testing different schemes and then the ever so long process of applying that scheme to every vehicle. |

If we have any members and drivers dedicated to SEPTA who are old-schooled enough to appreciate the originality of the old scheme then we to bring it back(gray trim with red and blue stripe). We'll make those New Flyers look exactly like Neoplans (the best buses in the world RIP). If anyone agrees like this status and serve it to those corporate jackhammers at 1234 Market St. LOL

That scheme, although it looked nice on the RTSs and the Neoplans, wasn't that amazing and just screams "80's". They should come up with something fresh that better reflects a 21st Century SEPTA and makes the buses stand out even more. Maybe that could happen when the transportation funding crisis is fixed. I actually liked this current scheme when it first rolled out with the black trim across the windows. It would probably look good if SEPTA ordered buses with framelss windows as well. Sadly, with new flyers and their large pillars, the scheme isn't so stellar. The new bus stop signs have a different "scheme" on them now (no more fade) so who knows what will happen next? |

I'm sure it'll look worse than the current scheme in my opinion. I do wonder how a two-line swoosh would fit without looking goofy. Maybe someone can photoshop it or something. I'd prefer the current Silverliner II, III, IV scheme on the buses to be frank. Edited by Tritransit Area, Sep 22 2011, 03:29 PM.

My idea would be to take the fade away stripe and have it cover the entire vehicle. Simple but much better looking than the current top stripe and white everywhere else. |
