I was there to see the display. Didn't get a chance to ride it but I however saw it moving around on Arch Street. Of course they had to display it during the DNC was taking place. You were far better off working during that time frame.
I live in Philadelphia and I have plans to make a home made camper but I been wondering where septa buses end up after they stop them any one have an idea. I'm really interested in those mid size buses they have around jfk ave ??
Please! somebody suggest to me a continental city uglier than Toronto because I myself have yet to see another that's at least a little hard on the eyes.
This Bus was Made at Their South Carolina Plant, They Just Opened Their Second Factory Recently in Eastern L.A. County in the City of Industry in the San Gabriel Valley, 400 Miles From their Headquarters South of San Francisco. They Put a Plant in California Because of California's Stricter Emissions Standards on Transit Busses, & Competition with BYD that has its Factory 70 Miles from L.A. in Northern L.A. County City of Lancaster. The B.E.B Market is Heating Up not Just in Cali but Around the Country!
Yeah, I heard the bus is actually not as sustainable as TAs assume. Philly roadways are like Baltimore's roadways, just a Nicaraguan jungle only with concrete for roads.
Good Bus... Proterra is Really Going to Have to Step it Up! The California Based Company Based South of San Francisco Now has 2 Factories the South Carolina Plant & Now the City of Industry Plant Nearly 25 Miles East of L.A. One of 2 Electric Bus Plants in L.A. County, the Other Plant Being BYD. & BYD is Crazy Busy More than Proterra, Just Expanding out Their Factory in Lancaster, CA 70 Miles North of L.A. & BYD Offers Several Types Of B.E.B. ( Battery Electric Busses), 30, 35, 40, 45, & 60 Foot. Proterra Offers Just 2 or 3 Types, 30, 35 & 40 (Not Clear with 30/35), They Need to Be Competitive with BYD & New Flyer on Bus Size. As for Structural Issues... if Proterra's Busses are having Problems I Aint Hearing about Any Problems on Their Busses?

These will be the first SEPTA buses to have a back window since the GMC "fishbowl" and Flexible buses from the early and mid-1970's.
we have e40lfrs
These things look cool and sound awesome, especially the ones here in Seattle. Only problem is the drivers hate them because of all the blind spots...
Good Video... got to See a Tour Of Centre City in Fowladelphia on the B.E.B!

I seen this on my last Monday trip to philly. Did not ride it though.
excellent video
It would be awesome of there were other body styles available. They could duplicate the GM Fishbowl as an alternate body style. Imagine that.
Where are they made?

i think these buses are good plus when they are adding that they should have them shown at frankford trans. ctr
The suspension will crack and SEPTA will have to lease a ton of busses from the MTA and WMTA XD
lolololol

The buses would be leased from both MTA companies (Maryland and New York) as well as NJ Transit.

Sonu Chadalavada didn't hear anything bad about these buses yet.
Made in the USA? Probably not. Last USA company making transit buses--GILLIG in CA. SEPTA had ordered the buses from that company.
You *could* do research before speculating, you know... www.proterra.com/our-company/buy-america/
+Fan Railer Thanks for the info.
My bad. I stand corrected.
Felix Holloway LFS’s are also made in USA. Plattsburgh, to be precise.
