The NABI's either go blank or in the case of the 113, it says "Marcus Hook". One NABI had a "Chester via Darby" on its destination as the bus arrived at Tri-State Mall this afternoon. 2] Why is "Tri-State Mall" misspelled on the side destination signs on the Flyers? 3] Why is there a FLIP-DOT sign on the rear of 5601H instead of a LED sign? 4] Why do the automated announcement still mention the 12 at 23rd and Chestnut? The 12 hasn't ran by that intersection in the last decade. 5] I noticed that some BSS cars has the announcement systems and the OLD door chimes. Why doesn't SEPTA get rid of the Asian-sounding "Doors Closing" announcement, and restore the old door chimes [BTW, how about adding those chimes to the MFSE?]. 4] It seems like SEPTA just doesn't update announcements...at least for Midvale and perhaps Callowhill. After all, L buses (of all vintages) still announce at Plymouth Meeting Mall connections to route 27, 95, 97, and 98. So much for the 90 and 150, not to mention that the 97 stopped running to the mall 10 years ago! 5] We are in the 21st Century now, so now it's the "thing" to do - have people announce doors closing. Now, i find it VERY interesting that the BSS car has both the new announcements and the old chime (yay!). Do you know any of the numbers so I can look out for them?
