Woodland and Elmwood-- what were they thinking?!

LMAO @ the "via CHESTR AV" but on the roller signs: "via Chester" I don't get it. "CHESTR"?

Woodland and Elmwood-- what were they thinking?! u know... i never noticed that.... then again... i don't pay too much attention to detail... all the time... it doesn't matter to me since i rarely am downtown (or west philly) durring the summer to even see a trolley anyway... I just wish that SEPTA didn't skrew up those NABIs so bad... the way they ran in the 90's is completely different than the way they ran in say 2005... i still like them because the way they sound... minus the AC crap they're pretty quiet for diesel buses... but that's a topic for another day... um... will the KAWASAKI cars with the new LED signs also have the working interior Dest/stop request/stop announcing/announcement system? or is that a separate process?

Red.... 66 local would be Yellow? something like that

I say default orange for regular service and neon blue for express service. Perhaps green for express too. BTW I love grapefruit! :) Edited by buswizard, Aug 26 2009, 09:16 AM.
