Title: Modified WMATA buses for U.S. Paralympics team
Post by: Tritransit Area on April 21, 2010, 11:14:24 AM
I just saw this article on WMATA's website:

Does anyone know which buses are retrofitted in such a manner?  They should be L10 Metro Bs.  I'm so proud that my favorite buses down there have been saved and are still serving various needs, even outside of Metrobus duty. :)

Ironically, one of those buses is 9310 (as seen from a picture shown on WMATA's home page).

Now for someone to let ChristopherF know about this!

How wonderful to find out that four Metro Bs are being retained for such service.  Thanks for sharing this!  I printed out the link and will catalogue it in the CC&T Archives.
