These new bus stops are designed in a way where the location of the bus stop takes more priority on the sign.

As part of the New Bus Network, there are also new signs under these new bus stops, stating what changes are coming during phase 1 of the new bus network.

These new signs are going up along routes that will be affected by the new bus network phase 1. These routes include the 17, 25, 44, 45, 49, 52, 53. 57, 60, 61, 64, 79, and 105, as well as new routes 72 and 76.

I have been with Virtual Transit Center since it's conception as the "Dash Forums" back in 2008. Since then, I have been writing and doing YouTube side by side, focusing both on Transportation and Gaming. Most of my knowledge comes from SEPTA as I lived in Philadelphia for most of my life. As of 2026, I am on YouTube as DashTransit and TheDashOfficial.

I started off my online career being known as "septa_kid" go figure, a SEPTA name. When I started growing my interest in NJ Transit, I would go on being "septa/njt rider"

When I started my YouTube channel (DashTransit) it was originally called "njt5329" and the channel was just clips of buses. Mostly SEPTA and NJT. A Fujifilm Finepix was used in this era.

Starting in July 2011, the Canon SX130IS camera became the camera of the channel, bringing HD documentary-style videos much like my buddy (trainman1971) did for DVD for many years past. This is when the channel became known as "Transit Action Series" I myself would still go by septa/njt rider in other capacities.

In May 2012, the original Canon SX130IS retired, and then all videos were recorded off a mobile phone until eventually uploading proved too difficult due to hardships IRL. I would eventually abandon YouTube videos as a whole, and focus more on studying transit history. My attention would also go more towards facebook.

In 2013ish I grew interest in a game called OMSI 2, and that caused me to start posting on a new YouTube channel called "Dash5155" which was named from the first SEPTA NABI I rode on (again, go figure, SEPTA history).

Starting in 2017, I used a Canon SX200IS from Basview to reboot the "Transit Action Series" channel that otherwise was dead for years prior. The energy that I felt from once again publishing transit content made me want to go back into my passions.

On April 19th, 2019, I would purchase a Canon SX710HS camera, and do what is now known as "TrAcSe" for YouTube. The channel itself would be re-named to DashTransit and eventually all my online handles would be DashTransit.
