Amazing the overhead wires are still being used after all these years.

[@KOOLKIDJOE428]

i had to go back here lol these gearboxes sounds just like the zf ecomat transmissions from the 2005 septa d40lf

[@fmajor881]

I have never taken a ride on an electric trolley bus before. I did ride diesel-electric hybrids, though.

I last visited Philly in 1999. The Bridge/Pratt terminal had not been redone. Did SEPTA retain the garage near the station or relocate it? We haven't had ETB's in Chicago since 1973 so I appreciated riding route 66 in Philly [CTA's route 66 Chicago Ave was an ETB route].

[@kevinhoward9593]

the new Station was completed in 2004. the garage is still there. SEPTA has changed quite a bit. The regional Rails discontinued the "R" designations years ago, the Rt 100 is now just the "Norristown High-Speed Line". Market-East was renamed Jefferson Station. University Station is now Penn Medicine Station. Pattison Station on the BSL is now NRG Station. After years of delays the SEPTA Key fare system finally became active. Oh Ya the major thing that happened in Center City is the Gallery was bought out and totally rebuilt as "The Fashion District".

@@DashTransit how do you do that?

[@DashTransit]

@@philocohen do what? The SEPTA emojis? All chanel members can use them as well as other agencies like MTA and NJ Transit

[@philocohen]

@@DashTransit oh. Okay.

[@kevinhoward9593]

i love how the bus says "Exact Fare $2.50" BUT until recently the Key Card fare was actually only $2.

[@allettak119]

🚎 i love this bus! 💗 and why do i like the engine sound so much? Because i am at a 🌖 level? Maybe i am... 🌋 _my mind blows up_

[@allettak119]

Also i feel like Translink/Vancouver Copied Septa Question 1: Was SEPTA Made First? Or Vancouver/Translink was made first. Question 2 (Closed) -gimme a list of your phobias-

[@DashTransit]

@@allettak119 SEPTA's New Flyer trackless order was placed first, but the E40LFRs went to Vancouver first.

[@RetroJello]

@@DashTransit It was us (Vancouver) who was first.

[@blue9multimediagroup]

​​@@DashTransit SEPTA piggybacked onto Vancouver's order

[@blue9multimediagroup]

​@@allettak119 TransLink was first testing the then E40LF (later LFR) in 2004 and then the full order in 2006. SEPTA got theirs in 2007.

[@transitkidjasonproductions]

15:05 it sounds like Vancouver trolleybus

[@blue9multimediagroup]

Same type of coach

[@dysontyronetd]

This could have been routes 29 and 79 but how dare they still discontinued it

[@allettak119]

Imagine my favorite bus and my weather fear going on at the same time! Or something happens on the bus. Pick one of my fears to continue: · Dewire · Crash · Fight · Guns · Flash · Engine Cut (why would that happen?) · Powercut Pick one of my Weather Phobias/Fear types to continue: · Thunder And Lightning · _Light_ Rain · Rain · *Heavy* Rain · Thunderstorm With Rain · Thunderstorm *Heavy* Rain · Loud thunder · Bright Lightning flash · Thunder out of nowhere · *SUPER HEAVY THUNDERSTORM*

[@GamerRobYT]

fight and thunder out of nowhere

[@dysontyronetd]

RIP route 304

[@swamphdaddy]

Side windows are so boring and hard to realize what is actually happening. Try sitting in the front right seat and using slight, very slight zoom to shoot through the front windshield. American trolleybuses are rare and ride videos even rarer so try to do it right for the best view. Hope to see a better video soon.

[@DashTransit]

I agree with you. The problem is that most passengers aren't too happy when they see cameras pointed in their faces, even when they seen the camera was there BEFORE they was. That's why I stopped pointing out the front in my ride videos (originally, I was going to discontinue ride videos altogether on this channel because I've been attacked for this quite a few times).

[@trainrover]

Just break open yer window and then pan about, yeah 🍸 66 Northbound: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gX7Fg4p5nJ5ma7M 66 Southbound: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eJLbgZ17hreib6s 🍺

@minty bear of Stephen gacha Archive The 29/79 were Dieselized years ago.

[@Iclolly]

@@DashTransitcrazy rude customers.. did the bus driver do anything about it?

[@DashTransit]

@@Iclolly TBH this is a decades old problem, sometimes even the operators be part of the problem, assuming that someone with a camera is specifically targeting them (it doesn't help in today's "Karen culture" where people actually DO just point cameras in peoples faces, hoping to catch someone do something wrong and go viral off of it) There's no win. If there is a forced universal "lax" about cameras, then we'll just see more malicious people pointing cameras in random people's faces when they're just living their day-to-day lives, but the way things are now, aspiring film artists can't get footage and actually enjoy their craft, because someone, somewhere will ruin it for them.
