I heard from my dad that the 60 may go to wisshickon loop or now transportation center.

[@teraylemoore2613]

Yeah it will next year and so as route 52 and K

[@blue9multimediagroup]

@@teraylemoore2613 Really hoping they reconsider that 52. Already long as is and traffic on City Ave isn't gonna help it. Understood that Wynnefield and St Joe's don't want the line up there, but extending it to WTC would be a mess. Would be better off going to Cynwyd via City, Conshohocken State Rd, Bala back to City and then over to 54th. Rather have the 40 go to WTC since it's closer and all you'd have to do is extend it up Monument Rd.

I loved those Volvo Artics but the noise from those brakes used to drive me crazy!!!

[@trainman1971]

Those brakes indeed.... that's how I always knew I was about to miss the 9, 27, or 48 when I was still half a block away and one pulled up to a stop... ;p;

Years ago SEPTA ran the Volvo buses on the 45 to King Of Prussia. Allegheny had part of the 45 (Philadelphia to King Of Prussia and Valley Forge) until late 1989 before the 45 was converted to the 125 and the 124 was birthed.

[@DIVINE9950]

Wow!! Amazing

[@montyakbar4791]

@trainman1971 the highest number I see is 7136 I'm guessing this was filmed in early-mid spring 2000 maybe?

[@trainman1971]

Probably.

The Volvo's looked pretty good yet kinda weird with the new Septa livery back then
