Most likely in about 2-4 weeks to meet their schedule and make what they said about increasing service with the 40 hybrids true.

 I may not be able to get back to Philly until Early October. Unless I plan a trip in September. So looks like they may be operating when I get there.

So what are we going to call the new hybrids?
A hot heep of 40ft mess septa requested all that crap on the roof those buses will be leaking in no time this is the old time thinking that needs to be replaced at septa there is not a flyer on the market that looks like this bus 1234 messses everything up the person at septa who is partly to blame for this mess is Luther Diggs.

Shop says 40 to 50 but only the worst nabis will go but not right away will try and get one friday morning for my trip on 21-42 but not released to blockers yet. they dont know the order so they might be scattered among a couple of depot. They are very quiet.

 Another advantage of working for SEPTA rather then Bmore MTA. SEPTA has new buses released into service at least 2 weeks after delivery starts. Bmore MTA it takes 3-4 months after the delivery starts to release new buses into service.

Great photo, but...

I am very displeased with these new buses. I'd love to figure out SEPTA's logic (or lack thereof) behind the lame-a*@ old design compared with the new design that WMATA and Baltimore got for their New Flyers...

 I LOVE the design. I was on New Flyer's website a few weeks back and was looking at the fleet of these types of buses and i thought they was ugly. I'm glad SEPTA kept their own look. I guess they voted obviously to keep the same design. I also like how the top unit thingees' arent all big and bulky like some strange reason i thought they was gonna be.
