NJ Transit 551 Bus Ride: 2017 MCI D4500CT 17075 from Atlantic City to Philadelphia

Taken on 9/2/24. Video of a ride of NJ Transit 2017 MCI D4500CT 17075 operating on the 551 from Atlantic City Bus Terminal to Vine & 8th Streets in Philadelphia. This bus skipped Gloucester Premium Outlets and the Farley Service Plaza. The only stops made on this trip was the Avandale Park & Ride in Sicklerville, Camden (WRTC & Bridge Plaza), and all drop offs within Philadelphia. While the schedule lists the final timepoint at 6th & Race Streets, the final stop on all trips from Atlantic City is Vine & 8th Streets. Buses continue along 6th, Market, and Vine Streets in service and riders can get off at any NJT bus stop on that portion of the route. This trip was delayed considerably due to an inconsiderate wheelchair passenger getting on in Atlantic City. There was another passenger in a mobility scooter requiring the lift as well and it took a while to get her on the bus because the wheelchair would not fit properly on the lift. When she was finally on, she did not want to move to the left (driver's side) seats and started arguing with the operator. Some security guy had to get involved and eventually she budged. She got off in Camden which ate up considerable time there as well since the passenger in the mobility scooter wasn't getting off until Philly. You'll hear various reference made by some of the passengers in remarks made during the video, mainly once the bus leaves Atlantic City. A rundown of the trip will be provided. Thanks for watching!
