Perhaps the rest of the buses are getting this new keypad thingy?

Oh. So they're getting the new Clever Devices touchpads. New York and Ottawa both have these. I wonder if they have the new Luminator ODK4 touchpanel sign controllers.

Interesting.  I just saw 6471 on the S2/4 about 45 min ago.

They also have a sticker on the rear of the driver's side of the bus. I think it's the stimulus sticker like on MTA Maryland's.

So what's this I hear the latest batch of LFAs is taking Metro Es off the road?  Could it be that the Bs are even outliving them as well as the Ds?

They may knock off the worst of the Metro-Es, but since there's just 48 LFAs coming this time, the Flxible era continues a bit longer.

Oh, thank goodness.  I'm glad to hear it. I still say the LFAs are uglytastic.
