Im a little disapointed they did not get new look and no other newflyer buses look like these on the roof this must be a septa request because the roof favors the PCCII configuration and no H in bus number. :'(

Two humps insted of one on roof if you go to the street that runs behind germantown depot you can get a good look close up.

Why would SEPTA get the old style New Flyers? If I ran SEPTA this contract would be 400 DE41LFRs within 4 years with 20 DE60LFRs each year making the total order 480. And of course the driver seats would be Recaro Ergo Ms with a headrest and not USSC LX with no headrest. BTW. Any idea of when these buses will hit the streets and if they will run along Market St in the Center City?

I hope the other 300 Flyers are the restyled design. But we will have to wait until all 400 are delivered. I do wish NFI discontinued the old style design.
