This will replace the Metro Bs and eliminate the last source of the 6v92TA engine from the Philadelphia region. If you were thinking about riding a Metro B, NOW is the time to grab one before it's too late. As we know with bus replacements, the orders go through quite quickly! I'll miss them - even though they became rather junky in the end... :'(

But I'll get a record of it one day from Market Street and Vine Street since NJT traveled through those roads. Let me know and I'll try record those in videos.

Sure - but I mean, I'd grab a final ride on a Metro B first. Soon, the NABI 416 will be the only "transit" buses running for NJT, aside from a few exceptions outside of the area. Remember that the routes that go to Cherry Hill, outside of maybe the 317, run from Newton Ave, rather than Washington Township.

Those are hard to get sometimes from Philadelphia, especially since the route they ran on the most (the 413) was cut back to Camden. I'm floored that I saw them operating on the 409 and 413.

That said, if you really want to get technical, I think the 406 operates through Cherry Hill Township, but doesn't serve the mall itself. That's a Washington Twp route.
