These routes were Route 120 (West Chester to Coatesville), Route 121 (West Chester to Paoli), and Route 122 (West Chester to Oxford). Bus service between West Chester and Coatesville was a replacement for the previous trolley service operated by West Chester Traction. SEPTA replaced two of the routes with their own bus service. Route 122 service was replaced by SEPTA's Route 91 in July 1982, after only one year of service. Route 91 was eliminated due to lack of ridership. </p><p>Route 121 was replaced by SEPTA's Route 92 in October 1982. This service continues to operate today. Since ridership on the Route 120 was strong it continued to operate under the operations of Reeder's Inc. even after SEPTA pulled the funding source. Krapf purchased the Reeder's operation in 1992 and designated the remaining (West Chester to Coatesville) bus route as Krapf Transit "Route A". Route 205 (Paoli Station to Chesterbrook) was formerly operated by Krapf until late 2019, when it was merged into SEPTA's own Route 206 (Paoli Station to Great Valley). </p><p><span class="anchor" id="Regional_Rail_division"></span> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Railroad_Division">Railroad Division</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=SEPTA&action=edit&section=17" title="Edit section: Railroad Division"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1236090951" /><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/SEPTA_Regional_Rail" title="SEPTA Regional Rail">SEPTA Regional Rail</a></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:SEPTA_GE_Silverliner_IV_308.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/SEPTA_GE_Silverliner_IV_308.jpg/220px-SEPTA_GE_Silverliner_IV_308.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="165" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/SEPTA_GE_Silverliner_IV_308.jpg/330px-SEPTA_GE_Silverliner_IV_308.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/SEPTA_GE_Silverliner_IV_308.jpg/440px-SEPTA_GE_Silverliner_IV_308.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1024" data-file-height="768" /></a><figcaption>A SEPTA Silverliner IV at <a href="/wiki/Fern_Rock_Transportation_Center" class="mw-redirect" title="Fern Rock Transportation Center">Fern Rock Transportation Center</a> in the <a href="/wiki/Fern_Rock,_Philadelphia" title="Fern Rock, Philadelphia">Fern Rock section</a> of <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia" title="Philadelphia">Philadelphia</a></figcaption></figure> <p>The Railroad Division<sup id="cite_ref-41" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-41"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>41<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> operates 13 commuter railroad routes that begin in <a href="/wiki/Center_City,_Philadelphia" title="Center City, Philadelphia">Center City Philadelphia</a> and radiate outwards, terminating in intra-city, suburban and out-of-state locations. </p><p>This division is the descendant of the six electrified commuter lines of the <a href="/wiki/Reading_Company" title="Reading Company">Reading Company</a> (RDG), the six electrified commuter lines of the <a href="/wiki/Pennsylvania_Railroad" title="Pennsylvania Railroad">Pennsylvania Railroad</a> (PRR, later Penn Central: PC), and the new airport line constructed by the City of <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia" title="Philadelphia">Philadelphia</a> between 1974 and 1984. </p><p>With the construction and opening of the <a href="/wiki/Center_City_Commuter_Connection" title="Center City Commuter Connection">Center City Commuter Connection</a> Tunnel in 1984, lines were paired such that a former Pennsylvania Railroad line was coupled with a former Reading line.

These buses were used throughout the SEPTA service area. SEPTA changed its specifications on new bus orders each year. The Neoplan AK's (numbered 8285–8410), which was SEPTA's first Neoplan order, had longitudinal seating: all of the seats face towards the aisle. Their suburban counterparts (8411–8434) had longitudinal seating only in the rear of the bus. The back door has a wheelchair ramp, which forced SEPTA officials to limit its use and specify <a href="/wiki/Wheelchair_lift" title="Wheelchair lift">wheelchair lifts</a> in their next order. These buses had a nine-liter <a href="/wiki/Detroit_Diesel_Series_92" title="Detroit Diesel Series 92">6v92 engine</a> and <a href="/wiki/Allison_Transmission" title="Allison Transmission">Allison</a> HT-747 transmission. </p><p>In 1983, SEPTA, along with other transit operators in Pennsylvania, ordered 1,000 Neoplan buses of various lengths. SEPTA ultimately received 450 buses from this order: 425 were 40-foot (12 m) buses (BD 8435–8584 and CD 8601–8875), which came without wheelchair lifts, and 25 35-foot (11 m) buses (BP 1301–1325). </p><p>SEPTA purchased additional Neoplans in 1986. The first two groups (3000–3131 and 3132–3251) came without rear wheelchair lifts; the last two groups, one in late 1987 (3252–3371) and another in 1989 (3372–3491), included them. All Neoplans built between 1986 and 1989 were equipped with a ZF <a href="/wiki/ZF_Ecomat" title="ZF Ecomat">4HP-590 transmission</a>. </p><p>By the early 1990s, SEPTA had 1,092 <a href="/wiki/Neoplan_Transliner_(North_America)" title="Neoplan Transliner (North America)">Neoplan AN440</a> coaches in active service, making it the largest transit system in North America with a fleet primarily manufactured by Neoplan USA. These buses dominated the streets of Philadelphia through late 1997 when the earlier fleet of AK and BD Neoplans (8285–8581) was replaced by 400 buses built by <a href="/wiki/North_American_Bus_Industries" title="North American Bus Industries">American Ikarus</a> and – the same company after a 1996 reorganization – <a href="/wiki/North_American_Bus_Industries" title="North American Bus Industries">North American Bus Industries</a>. The older GMC RTS 35- and 40-foot buses were also replaced in this order, with the sole remaining exception of No. 4462, a 35-foot coach. More replacements occurred when SEPTA received its first <a href="/wiki/Low-floor_bus" title="Low-floor bus">low-floor</a> fleet and retired the last AN440 buses on June 20, 2008. </p><p>The Neoplan model had not entirely vanished from Philadelphia's streets by the start of the 21st century. In 1998, SEPTA ordered 155 <a href="/wiki/Articulated_bus" title="Articulated bus">articulated buses</a> from the company. These buses replaced the 1984 Volvo 10BM 60-foot articulated buses. These buses have now been retired since late 2015, replaced by the 2013–2016 NovaBus LFS-A HEV. </p><p>The 1998 purchase included 89 29-foot Transmark-29 buses from <a href="/wiki/ElDorado_(bus_manufacturer)" title="ElDorado (bus manufacturer)">National-Eldorado</a> (4501–4580, 4581 received later), the first of which began to arrive in late 2000. Most of these buses ran on suburban routes occasionally entering the city, but some are in the "LUCY" service in the University City section of West Philadelphia, in a special paint scheme, and others on lighter lines within Philadelphia. SEPTA had decided to buy from Metrotrans Legacy, SEPTA's first choice in small buses, but the company filed for bankruptcy in 1999. </p><p>A fleet of buses known as "cutaways" were purchased. These buses were built on Ford van chassis, with bodies similar to those seen on car rental shuttles at various airports. These buses were retired around 2003 and replaced with slightly larger <a href="/wiki/Cutaway_bus" class="mw-redirect" title="Cutaway bus">cutaway buses</a> on a Freightliner truck chassis. </p><p>After evaluating sample buses from <a href="/wiki/New_Flyer" title="New Flyer">New Flyer</a> and <a href="/wiki/NovaBus" class="mw-redirect" title="NovaBus">NovaBus</a> in 1994–96, SEPTA ordered 100 low-floor buses (nos. 5401–5500) from New Flyer in 2001. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Trolleybus" title="Trolleybus">Trackless trolley (trolley bus)</a> service was suspended in 2003 and the 110 <a href="/wiki/AM_General" title="AM General">AM General</a> vehicles that had provided service on SEPTA's five trackless trolley routes never returned to service.<sup id="cite_ref-tm270_74-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-tm270-74"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>74<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In early 2006, SEPTA ordered 38 new low-floor trackless trolleys from New Flyer, which entered service in 2008, restoring trackless service on routes 59, 66 and 75.

When asked to produce data pertaining to SEPTA's repeated attempts to consolidate bus stops, Lind observed "the report on the project barely elaborates on the information.
