[RideOn5905]

There seems to be something wrong with 5934's destination sign: While "61 GERMANTOWN TRANS CNTR" is the normal display for that route, 5934 was saying "61 MONTGOMERY COLLEGE GERMANTOWN". And this had to have happened just recently; I saw 5934 on the 61 last week, and it had the normal "TRANS CNTR" destination.

On a side note, I also saw 5819 on the 100. Kinda rare to see a 40-footer on the 100 on a non-rush hour run.

[C40LF_2464]

I have good news. The 5400 NABI's are now operating on the X2 line as i type.

[79MetroExtraMD]

I have good news. The 5400 NABI's are now operating on the X2 line as i type.

5411 and 5416 are on there right now.

As for just now, 5408 is on the X3.

[LandoverDivision]

5406, 5408, 5409, 5411, 5417, and 5418 was on there.

[OrionFlyer]

 5403, 5408, 5404, and 5409 are all on the X2 right now.

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

you know what this could mean? the 5200s are on the verge of extinction. FINALLY, I was starting to think that the 5400s would never go on the X2. At this time of writing, I checked on Nextbus and there's 10 buses on the X2...9 of them are 5400s (specifically 5403, 5404, 5408, 5409, 5414, 5416, 5417, 5419, 5420) and the other is 5217.

[Scrabbleship]

ART's 30-LFW's are starting to enter service. 5257 was seen in Ballston on the 52 during rush hour yesterday.

[LandoverDivision]

ART has a 5018 now? Saw it 2 days ago.

[Flxible]

I'm glad to see there's still a few Flxibles on the active roster.  Hopefully they will still be around when I plan to come up some time next month?
