Nextbus was actually up this morning? I noticed that it was down from around 6:30-8:00 on both versions of the Metro website.

79MetroExtraMD · September 01, 2010, 09:02:59 AM

I noticed that too. The radio system was down this morning.

Found the split between the 6500s in which Montgomery and West Ox get...

Highest Montgomery:

6569 on the 1A:

6578 seems to be at Western. TBH, if West Ox got only 10 for now, they need more 6500s, there's barely any 6390s/6400s compared to other bus divisions.

6589 seems to be the highest overall so far

Actually, 6592 is the highest.

I'm very curious as to how many were ordered. Are there going to be any 6600s by year's end ? We'll have to wait and see.

I swear, I checked this morning and 6592-6594 didn't show any info, but now it seems like 6593 and 6594 are here now. Which means that 6594 is the highest. At the rate these buses are coming in, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some 6600s by next week.

Looks like 4304 and 4305 may be Northern buses now...

plus I know it's Friday night (early Saturday morning), and buses usually run later tonight, but according to nextbus, every route (even the 30s, Q4, 70, S line) is out of service. glitch or service change?

RideOn5905 · September 11, 2010, 10:54:42 AM

I was on NextBus earlier that night, and they said that it would be down from 1 to 1:30; why, I don't remember.

On a side note, how are you guys getting this kind of information? I remember reading in an earlier thread that it has something to do with getting the data in XML format, so how's it done?

NewFlyer9736BCT · September 13, 2010, 12:52:48 AM

yeah looks like 4305 is back at Northern. I hope the others don't follow...
