New Flyer MiDis


DSCN3983_1.jpg

These 2013/2014 New Flyer MiDi buses are the first standard transit buses to run on the PHLASH in quite a few years. Philadelphia is one of the first U.S. cities to operate these buses, which are essentially an Americanized version of the Alexander Dennis DART.

Krapf's Transit is the first (and as of 2014, the only) contractor to operate these buses on the PHLASH service.
