The SEPTA board will soon acknowledge the contracts of the trackless trolley manufacture to New Flyer industrials. The contract specifies that the first unit will be delivered on March 30, 2007. The contract also specifies that thirty-eight (38) units with an option for twenty-three (23) are set to be deliver starting in spring 2008 to replace the remaining units of the Neoplan 40 foots which has been running in this city by that time for 19 long years. It’s vague as to rather or not septa will restore operating trackless-trolleys again out of the southern depot.
