No responses, I'm not going to post SEPTA bus stuff anymore if this keeps up.

I appreciate the effort,but keep in mind that folks here are NYC oriented.

A lot of MTA photo threads on the bus half of this board have been getting little to no replies. It could be worse, on that "other" nyc transit message board some posters would accouse you of stealing an public street from them!

FWIW, NYC fans tend to go down into Philadelphia to fan as well.

I wish SEPTA would have gotten them with frameless windows instead. That would have looked a lot better.

I don’t visit this site much on the weekends, nor do I comment on every single photo posted here.

Also - it’s a decent photo, not a great one. The front of the bus takes up most of the frame and the image is overexposed along the top – both of these factors detract from the ability of the image to show viewers the roofline and other differences from a typical New Flyer bus.

I HIGHLY agree. Well, getting a redesigned New Flyer (that's not piggybacked from another order) is a big step for them, so I'll let it slide.

I can't wait until next year until we get those Xcelsiors (according to plan)!

Everybody's cameras take sometimes mediocre photos.
I got real lucky with a Nikon Cool Pix on automatic with this one on a good day.Notice how the trackless and new hybrid, the other photo in this post, look fairly similar.The new hybrid has longer wings!

Here's a half decent photo of the first bus we got, 8340, the pilot model, which is back at the factory.
