As mention yesterday, the demo of the 2010 order of hybrid was on display yesterday at 1234 Market St. The design of the bus is extremely new to the New Flyer Market.

As shown in the photos, the roof cap is now one panel, and lights at the rear are completely designed. Much different then what’s currently available on the New Flyer units.
The interior seating on the pilot is the latest American Seating model. This model is much more similar to the USSC model seating on the 2004-2009 units of SEPTA’s New Flyers. It has been reported that this seating model will not be on the production units. The production units will receive the USSC model seating.
According to Ctrabs, the first of the units will arrive at Victory first to operate on the route 101 and 102 as bus shuttles. Delivery is set to begin next month.
What a way to wrap up an already interesting week. You can find info in this topic: http://philadelphiatransitforums.cjb.net/topic/7191014/1/
