    These AN440 transitliner buses are long gone but not forgotten by older bus fans like us

    The old 6V92TA analog Detroit Diesel engine with HT740 Allison Transmission I miss the Neoplan AN440 from Septa the 6V92TA Detroit Diesel engines will always feel right at home with either the HT series Allison or ZF ecomat 600 Transmissions long lasting Neoplan AN440 transitliner is better than these newer Low Floor buses anyday

    Whoa. I didn't know the 202 went into Delaware. I took the 113 to Claymont years ago before the Tri-State Mall closed down. Now I don't even go to Delaware anymore. No reason to go there these days.

    Ahh. Base fare, $1.60. Good times.
    .40 + token OR $2.00 got you a transfer. I think lol

    Terrific ride, thanks for posting. So they cut it back to Brandywine Square and then killed it off in later years? Loved seeing the Charcoal Pit, great place! Does anybody have a route map of how it went through the shopping centers and the route through Wilmington?

      Yep, that's pretty much the size of it.
      Doug has a schedule in his collection, so he may be able to scan it one day for the route map.

    Hey Joe, do you think SEPTA may one day revive the Route 202, or is it likely to remain history?
