MCI demo #6000 was on display for SEPTA officials at 1234 Market earlier this morning. As noted yesterday, testing of the D4501 cruiser is tentatively set to start tomorrow on the 123, 124, and 125 lines...
The US 202/I-76 interchange isn't the only corridor where SEPTA buses are being delayed due to construction. Yesterday, service along West Chester Pike - particularly on the 104 - was delayed anywhere from 5-10 minutes due to roving PennDOT crews in the Havertown area. Heavy congestion also delayed some PM peak eastbound trips near PA 252 in Newtown Square...
Traffic in Center City was gridlocked for about 20 minutes this afternoon after a school bus operated by Delaware County Transportation - a Folcroft-based subsidiary of the embattled Montgomery County based King Transportation - collided with Callowhill 5002. The accident occured as both buses were turning off of Market St onto Juniper St. The side of the school bus struck 5002 - which was deadheading back to Callowhill after finishing up its run on the 21/42 lines (108 block). The DCT school bus had apparently made the turn cut a bit too quickly. 5452, which was operating as a 38 to Wissahickon Transfer Center, was stuck behind the accident scene, as were at least 2 NJT buses. Traffic - including all SEPTA and NJT buses -was diverted onto 13 St until the vehicles were able to clear the scene...
The west end of the Frankford El will see shuttle buses between Frankford Terminal and Spring Garden this weekend. Two weekends from now, there will be another shuttle operation between Frankford and 15 St Stations. This weekend's shuttle will operate between Spring Garden and Frankford; the shuttle on April 6-7 will operate between 15 St and Frankford. Express buses between Frankford and 15 St via Bridge St and I-95 will be in effect for both train stoppages.
