On topic. I don't think artics would work on the 20. Why? 1. Anyone notice along Convent Avenue the speed regulations posted for the buses(speed limit 15mph)? The people on Convent Avenue reside in a very very peaceful community & theyw ill voice their opinions & get their objectives carried out. In short, the artics would probably make too much noise & rock the houses along that part of the line(similar to the stuff that went down in Andorra in years past). 2. Parkwood(Medford Road, Mechanicsville Road, Nanton Drive). Medford Road can barely handle 2 New Flyers passing each other at the same time. Again, Parkwood residents don't wish to hear a lot of noise from buses. If they do put artics on the 20(& even if they don't), I really think that they should go back to the outbound routing(Knights & Mechaniscsville, Franklin Mills, Neshaminy Mall via Philadelphia Park) via Medford Road ONLY & the inbound(Bridge & Pratt) routing realigned back onto Academy Road ONLY. 3. The Modena Park segment of the line(Morrell, Keswick, Chalfont) is again quaint, quiet & reserved, as well as closed in. Morrell Avenue is wide & spread out. Keswick Road & Chalfont Drive aren't. How would the artics respond to that hill on Chalfont Drive coming off Academy Road during the winter months? The artics should be relegated to Academy Road only. ALl the back stuff should continue to be served by NABIs or Flyers.
