    It's amazing how much changes there have been within the last 17 years. The Neoplans and Icaruses are long gone, as are the Flexibles, the 1980's era articulated buses and 1960's era GM bus. The PATCO trains are virtually being rebuilt, the orange masks on the Broad Street trains are being reduced to small single stripes and the trolleys all have LED signage and automated announcements. The NBC-like melody and female voice has been replaced by a three not touch tone and man's voice. Most, if not all of the train stations have been or are in the process of being renovated. What a great look into a not so long ago past.

    1:09:01 I miss when the Kawasaki Trolleys used to have those roll signs. The white Helvetica font were a lot easier on the eyes than the orange digital signs the trolleys use today. In fact, all of Septa back then is SO much better and more fun to ride than it is today actually.

    This video gives me flashbacks! I was a mechanic (3rd class) for S.E.P.T.A. for 14 years and recognize a few of those Neoplan buses that I may have worked on at some point! I saw an older GMC bus also..(60's)...some of those were around when I first started with the company!! What was even crazier for me was seeing that Krapf's coach near the end years after leaving S.E.P.T.A. I would end up there! Those Neoplans were a good bus..the NABI's or Ikcurus...(spelling)....were junk.....good video!!

      They would’ve been 10 years old in 1999 since they were 1989 models, but I know what you mean I feel the same way when I think about it. Same with the 8xxx new flyers when the 8xxx used to be RTS buses

      Do you mean back in 1999? The person who created this video did in fact go to Frankford Terminal back then. However, there is a lot of footage of Frankfrod from the 90's already on UA-cam (look at the MFL and Trackless videos).
      If you mean overall, I have a few modern videos of Frankford currently on UA-cam.
