I've noticed on the 65 on weekends the Allegheny runs could easily use 40 footers, especially on Sundays. 5201 block (the nightliner) does NOT need an artic. 5201 block, I believe, is the 7:54 AM trip that originates out of 54th and City heading up to Germantown where it finishes. Since most of the overcrowding complaints are in the Overbrook area, 5201 should easily be able to use a New Flyer every day. That way you're not wasting the capacity of the artic on a route that does not need it at 3 in the morning. I'm not sure what the situation is on the 33 in terms of the OWL ridership, so I can't say whether or not it really needs artics but those runs stay on into the AM peak and do haul. The 6 could probably get away with a New Flyer on the OWL runs. The 6 would do better off at Midvale since they could easily interline it with other routes at Olney TC. This way the right bus can be used on the 6 as well as the 22, 55, and L when needed.
