HA! I actually do remember when I was little I would see, artics deadheading on Suitland Parkway, I do remember some 5200s and some MAN artics (before they retired). I think if I'm not mistaken the old C12, C14 used to run downtown, I think.

Yes they did have artics. They used them on the C11 Clinton Express when it use to go downtown. I might have the bus numbers on one of my old rosters but that would require some digging....

Hmmm - I'm learning some new stuff here.  I remember once seeing an Ikarus 5200 on southbound Branch Ave at I-495 and thinking that it was a Landover bus.  I guess this may have been about 1998 or so.

if Annex had artics before, I don't see why they can't have them now, other than lack of space due to other buses. from what I heard, the W4 could really use them, but I never been on that route and I don't know it so I'm not sure if it's eligible for artics.

Thx ...... guys i been really tryin to find some pictures somewere of the 9500's, somebody have to have some.

From my outlook i think the W4 could use a tic or 2 on some blocks when school is in.

The A's can use them too, for some runs, and for the Annex 90 runs also.
