Neoplan AN-460 Articulated Buses
LAST UPDATE: Wednesday, December 12, 2001
Many of these details are taken from a flyer handed out at the SEPTA Roadeo on July 17, 1999, when #7101 was on display.
The entire order of 155 of these buses are in service, and have been operating on Allegheny routes 6, 9, 27, 33, 48, 60 and 65, along with Midvale routes C, 18, 22, 55, and 80. These buses have even seen service on the 77, whose ridership is so low, that line is expected to see 30-ft buses.
SEPTA's 60-Foot Articulated Transit Buses
Manufactured By Neoplan USA Corporation
One hundred fifty-five (155) 60-foot articulated transit buses were ordered from Neoplan USA Corporation for service on selected City and Suburban fixed routes. These buses replaced 40- and 60-foot buses built between 1983 and 1985. The purchase of these buses will allow SEPTA to better respond to ridership demand and changing route characteristics. Buses were delivered between November 1999 through December 2000.
