When looking at the SEPTA advisories, I thought in the past it would state when buses were being operated in place of the trolley cars. Last few times I have looked at it the map looks normal, it shows trolley icons, etc. When you click on an icon I am seeing equipment numbers in the 8000s and 5000s. I take it those are buses? The PCCs are 2200s if I remember?

Is so, buses have been operating for a while now. Any ETA for the cars returning?

The PCCIIs are in the 2300s

Also they've been sidelined for the summer due to various construction projects on the line.
