 RIP for the daily sightings thread, this one is taking away posts from it. Doesn't anybody see anything normal anymore?

around 10:30pm wednesday, i saw frankford's 5060 on route 47 turning in to whitman plaza. i'm not sure if it was on southern's or midvale's share of the 47 (couldn't see the block #)
5060 is more than likely at southern because I rode it on block 7553 >route C
thanks

about a half hour ago i saw comly's 5080 (based on the current assignments page) on route 29

 I don't know if 8046 was really on fire, but I don't know if I was dreaming but I think it was on the C yesterday or the day before

 7551 is assigned to the C as well, so it may be possible that someone somewhere screwed up!!!

If it is, but that would be considered Awkward!!

From what I know/heard that the 8046 thing started out as a rumor given to the fact that 8046 was the same # used on a RTS bus back in the 1980s and was horrible. So long story short thats how rumors are created. Well I'll keep my eyes out for #8046, if its still around. If its still around then its bound to pop up on the G sooner or later.

 8143 (As reported else where), has no decals on the top of the bus. Also spotted it on the 21 yesterday and thought it was a wrap. Spotted it again today on the 42, it appears some genius at Callowhill ripped the entire decal off. They did however left a small piece of the Red sections of the fadeway scheme on the curb side though!!

Also spotted the Holiday trolley on the Route 15!!

I also saw 8143 from the curb side on Thursday and thought it was a new wrap. Whoever did this may have also taken some paint off as a couple of 'dings' looked to be in the paint. Nice for a new bus!

In a previous post 5700 was seen on 31. I rode it yesterday on 21 in the AM so it must be assigned to Callowhill temporarily.

Saw 5062 on 12 today - unusual in that 5062 was moved from Comly and 12 almost always gets low floors.
5700 is back home at Midvale - saw it on 32 yesterday.

5048 must be at Southern - on a 12 trip on Thursday. Guess 12 is getting NABI's again - it was almost exclusively low floors for quite a while.

 5035, 5040, 5064, 5082-5086, all has been spotted on the route G within this past week. Each of them have been accredited to southern on the current roster page.

possibly, 5075, 5077-5079, may have moved there as well!!

5850H is now 5850, I rode this bus on route C, I saw the number from the Inside and I don't remember what it looked like from the outside

They've been operating on the weekends for a while. My first hybrid ride was on Saturday, October 18 on the 21.

 This is the current daily sightings thread. In the other Daily sighting threads, there were too many posts reporting sightings of any given bus on any other route. To prevent any more misunderstanding, I wanted the members to know what exactly belongs in these thread! Instead of reading a handful of posts about 5911 being on the route 65.

 Okay, so my normal sighting is that I saw 5710 on the 77 today to Chestnut Hill.

Does this count. No more posting what I might ride on any random day? Only unusual stuff, like if 8199 were on the 22?
