The problem is, there are essentially no major manufacturers that offer a true heavy duty high floor anymore. Where are these properties to turn when they realize that they need a high floor bus?Just the other day I was driving by a SEPTA NABI that happened to be operating on the 14, a route that carries a lot of riders. For some reason, despite the 30 artics the depot received for that particular route, they find the need for 40 footers. As I drove by the bus, I thought about how awful it will be when the 40 foot fleet is completely replaced by low floors in the next few years. So many of these routes are so crowded, and the NABIs do a great job at swallowing crowds. I'd argue that SEPTA should get some more NABI 416s, because articulates are expensive to run. |
