Also, the ex-FFX TMC RTS I reported a few weeks ago was back in Alexandria yesterday. I think someone bought that one. In addition, despite what I saw a few weeks ago, PRTC Omnilink #266 is still in service. Saw it at the main PRTC bus depot. Lastly, I saw an OmniRide MCI D4500CT parked inside the DASH bus depot while on the Blue line.

Nice shot! Makes me miss the days when this site used to have monthly photos. Anyway, do you know where these buses run exactly? I was at the Friendship heights station this pass weekend and didn't see a single Ride on CNG. Also, I'm kinda surprised they didn't buy any XN40 CNGs from New Flyer.

These buses run from Gaithersburg division, therefore you will see them on mid/north county routes. Friendship Heights only has Silver Spring buses running from there, so you won't see them there.
