Wonderful pictures as always, Wayne!  Interesting to see all of the wheel covers disappear.  Are the new BRTs that are coming in equipped with wheel covers too?

From what I've seen, they haven't and they are in the process of taking off the covers for the rest of the ones.

Aww Wayne. Beat me to it. The one thing I cant seem to understand is why AU doesnt have fleet numbers for them yet.

Only 30 foot buses though?  Aren't the Phantoms larger?

Finally got my new camera the other day, Ken got that first shot which was the picture of 6202, but I got pretty much the rest.

I love that quality George that cam is beautiful, and I see the 4300s are taking over Maryland, and 4339 still has no Metrobus logo on the front.

ahhhh so THAT'S what it was, I knew something was missing in the front of 4339! speaking of missing, 6192 has no bike rack.

and about my camera, it's a Canon Powershot SX120 IS. I love it, it sure beats my old camera.

yeah...unfortunately too many people in DC don't have the common courtesy to not get out of the way when it's very clear that someone is about to take a photograph.

Or they don't realize what you are taking a photo of, it isn't like you were about to take a photo of the White House...

I have no idea. Apparently the common login is having problems with these buses with showing the block number correctly. Some operators put it in manually, but others just keep it like that.

Those LFAs look SO much better with the wheel covers removed.  They're actually starting to grow on me now that they have shed that few pounds of ugly plastic.

Yeesh, are THAT many Metro Bs running around with blank or half-blank signs?  The LFAs are looking lovely without the wheelcovers.  Let those beautiful alcoas shine!

Correct me if I'm wrong but I heard that those wheel covers created more problems during the snow events this past winter so they removed them, logical, and they do look alot better without them....anyway it is what it is. ???
On another note 6560 should be they now keep your eyes peeled, I'll keep you posted if I see any more.  8)

Yes, many of the remaining Metro-Bs have malfunctioning signs.  I think WMATA gave up on maintaining them and a few units actually got the signs from some of the early Metro-D retirees.  Here's one of them.

It's probably at the acceptance facility where they usually stay for a couple of weeks or so.
