    Holy shit Sir Joseph 😳 8331, a 1982 SEPTA Neoplan AK transit bus with a ribbed engine cover. If that was the case then it probably still had the white bulkheads inside the bus. 8331 made it's appearance around the 11:18 mark. 8331 still had the round orange emergency light on it's roof and you can hear an M3 in the background too.

      Actually, there were at least two or thee AK's that I ran across near the end that still had the white bulkheads. But I remember as they painted all the other 8000-series, I would groan in agony every time I saw a new one.... ruining their identities.... lol

    I wonder if that was a Neoplan bus assigned to the 1 @ 0:43.

    I wonder what Septa did with all of those old Neoplans and RTS busses. I miss those.

    What was the Ikarus like when it was first released?

      Well, in all honesty, pretty much the same, except shinier and less rattles...

      The first one I got on was in September 1996 on Route C. It was 5157.

      5159 on the 18 was the first one I rode, November 1996, which would be followed by 5166 and 5174.
