Bus movement in Philadelphia. |

Posted by TransitChuckG on Wed Jun 29 16:13:38 2016 At 10:00 AM the Metro bus that was on demo in Philly was seen heading NB on the Blvd. at Oxford Circle!!! They showed the bus in Philly as a sample of the model Septa is buying. It's a Xcelsior. Philly's will be the boring white scheme.This bus: Metro bus in Philly I wonder if it's heading to NYC for a demo? |

I heard that NYC dislikes diesel-electric type buses, I would even fathom to say "hates" them.SEPTA likes our diesel -electric hybrids, and plans to buy (525) New Flyer Excelsior's. The (185) Nova Artics and (90) 40ft. Novas are generally disliked by the Septa operators. I haven't heard a good sample of like or dislike from the riders, and I haven't ridden a Nova myself. I really enjoy a s Septa hybrid on The Route 104, they sound great and are much, much quieter than a diesel. It's a nice ride from 69th st. to West Chester, Pa. |
