DC CIRCULATOR:
I've been seeing some 2009 Van Hool A300K buses on the Georgetown-Union Station lines lately. At least I'm not the only one who has.

DC CIRCULATOR:
I've been seeing some 2009 Van Hool A300K buses on the Georgetown-Union Station lines lately. At least I'm not the only one who has.
I think this might be some real-world testing of how the 300K's will handle Georgetown traffic when Blue Bus goes Circulator next month.
At the same time, I've seen 300K's on the Southwest Waterfront route and I've seen many runs on the Woodley Park-Adams Morgan-14th St-McPherson Square route go to A330's.

How hard would it be for WMATA to spell "Tenleytown" correctly on the headsigns? It isn't like they are lacking room for the missing "e."
I've noticed several complaints recently from various photgraphers here about people blocking shots. Remember that most people aren't suspecting that you are taking a photo of a bus (most people don't in their day to day lives) and are probably in their own little worlds anyway and not paying attention. I'm more aware of photographers and try not to get in their way when I can, but I've probably knowingly ruined shots (for example, yesterday, I was on my bike near the Washington Monument and did not slow down when a man set up on one side of the path to photograph his traveling companion, standing on the other side, never mind that this guy then stepped out in front of the bike, but that is a general rant against oblivious tourists that probably deserves its own thread). Fortunately, in the world of digital photography, there is no loss of film. The bus might have moved on but after all, it is just a bus and part of the challenge is getting that "perfect" shot without a hitch...

On the 3900s, they have it spelled correctly. There are various typos and short spellings on a bunch of the signs. GREENNCASTLE. At least we dont see BRGS CHNY anymore. The 2 line stacking doesn't make matters better either where you have alot of the destination being crammed into one single display. For example, MT. PLEASANT VIA ADAMS MORGAN. Why Metro did this even though Mount Pleasant worked fine is beyond me. This isn't even programmed into some buses on the sign controllers themselves but just in the Clever Devices system. So, most 42s have to key up the H8 and then change the route to show 42.
hey, at least we don't have 3-line stacking like they do with the '06 Gilligs at Palm Tran (and maybe later models)
example:

I don't get why some TAs are so privy as to not use alternating displays and want to stack everything in one display. It makes the sign less readable from a distance and you have to wait for the bus to be near the stop just to see where it's going. That's why I like the Luminator TITAN, Twinvision, and Aesys signs because they do well with multiple line stacking because of the better contrast and viewing angles.

In the cases of TA's that were late adopters of electronic signs (points finger at Muni and CDTA), it's a compromise for the often wordy rollsigns both agencies previously used. Both agencies also "name" their routes ("38-Geary", "22-Albany/Troy via Broadway", etc.)
I actually think MT PLEASANT VIA ADAMS MORGAN is an improvement. Adams Morgan is an area that isn't served by the Red Line directly and is a major destination for that line.

It only works given if its programmed into the sign. It's still not on alot of Orions at Western.

hmm...most of the buses I see on the 42 these days have that extra "via Adams Morgan" bit.
I mean...Adams Morgan has plenty of other buses that run through there, like the 90, 92, 93, 96, H1, L2, X3, and Circulator. So I don't think it's VERY necessary to add that bit of info on the sign, just a bit of a convenience.
I think any of the 90s buses terminating at Duke Ellington Bridge should instead be signed "ADAMS MORGAN" instead of "DUKE ELLINGTON BRIDGE." I suspect more people know where Ad Mo is vs. the Ellington Bridge.

Adams Morgan is a broad area. If they had signed them for Adams Morgan, some people would confuse it for the Woodley Park terminus. Ellington Bridge is technically the correct name for the terminus because it ends at that loop before the bridge.

I don't know anyone who considers the area by Calvert and Connecticut to be part of Adams Morgan. When someone says Adams Morgan to me, I think of 18th and Columbia. It wouldn't be the end of the world if that headsign said ADAMS MORGAN.
I just don't see it happening. Why change up something that's been the same for years along the 90s. I do wish they could change the 42's terminus to not read Metro Center and should say 9th & G or something of the sort since technically that terminus is situated closer to Gallery Place than Metro Center.
Check this out!!! From what I heard from a friend who's going to work for Ride-On soon, there's gonna be even more of these Gillig Advantages moving up to Gaithersburg.

oh, and the reason why these photos are only 640x480 is because I wasn't aware it was set to that resolution, it wasn't before I was in Silver Spring when I realized why my pictures weren't in good quality.
here's the rest

It's great to see so many Flxes are still in service despite the sudden influx of LFAs. I like the B&W effect on some of those.

Verrry nice! And the windows even open!
They are pretty nice on the inside. Got the American Seating Insight (the CTA seats). On the hybrids, the front section is bench seating to accommodate the crowding conditions on a couple routes. On the clean diesels, it's a regular configuration. The interior portion of the windows are tinted. The clean diesels are ISL9/Voith (expected) and are pretty neat. Rear route signs as well. I've only tracked about 3 hybrids and 2 clean diesels out so far.
