Nextbus was actually up this morning? I noticed that it was down from around 6:30-8:00 on both versions of the Metro website.

Found the split between the 6500s in which Montgomery and West Ox get...

Highest Montgomery:

6578 seems to be at Western. TBH, if West Ox got only 10 for now, they need more 6500s, there's barely any 6390s/6400s compared to other bus divisions.

I'm very curious as to how many were ordered. Are there going to be any 6600s by year's end ? We'll have to wait and see.

I swear, I checked this morning and 6592-6594 didn't show any info, but now it seems like 6593 and 6594 are here now. Which means that 6594 is the highest. At the rate these buses are coming in, I wouldn't be surprised if we saw some 6600s by next week.

plus I know it's Friday night (early Saturday morning), and buses usually run later tonight, but according to nextbus, every route (even the 30s, Q4, 70, S line) is out of service. glitch or service change?

I was on NextBus earlier that night, and they said that it would be down from 1 to 1:30; why, I don't remember.

On a side note, how are you guys getting this kind of information? I remember reading in an earlier thread that it has something to do with getting the data in XML format, so how's it done?

There's only one there for the time being. 5205. It mainly goes out just on rush hour runs on the 30s and one time was on the 64.

I'm 6000 miles away from Western right now instead of my usual 1 mile, but even so, I'm very skeptical of a report that 5205 is actually at Western, the depot doesn't have any maintenance bays that can support an artic.  If I remember when I get up in the morning (6 hours ahead of the US), I'll try and see where this bus is spending the night.

Your source please? Until I see picture proof of this I will not believe it. My thinking is that the tracking system was taken off 5205 and was put on another bus and the bus number was not changed in the system when installed. This happened ALL the time at Ride On with fareboxes. Old buses retired, fareboxes were pulled out and put into new buses that were being delivered with the old unit number showing it was still operating. Now I will try and verify if 5205 is REALLY at Western Division :-)

yes, plus several other buses like 4039 and 4040 have this problem too. although let's see...apparently 6583 and 6608 aren't showing up on Nextbus, so it may be a possibility that one of those has 5205's GPS. speaking of Ride On buses retiring, is it finally over with everything between 5550-5579? I haven't seen them in a while, and as much as I hated them before, I'm missing them.

6608 is not in service yet.  Actually it is not even on WMATA property.  This one is actually at a contractor lot at the intersection of Route 50 and I-495/95.  They always have a good assortment of buses there.  I have seen buses from Ride On, WMATA, THE BUS, Fairfax Connector, Howard Transit and MDMTA Commuter.

I doubt it.  I remember when the Orion VIIs and C40LFR were cming in it was pretty crowded at CET.  However, with the LFA's, they seem to have arrived at such a pace that CET was never quite full.  I also see that vendor's lot that WES mentioned.  My guess is that it's simply as good location as it is pretty industrial over there.  I usually look in when driving past on I-495 and there's always buses in there from the various agencies in the area.

If you're driving on I-495 inner loop (south) you can see the lot just ofter passing over route 50.

well it looks like 6100s are now a thing of the past for Landover. 6176 and 6177 are now at Annex. 6178 still shows that it's at Landover, but the seconds since last report is high so chances are that it's at Annex as well. (and I thought the V5 was Bladensburg only, guess Annex does some runs?)

I mean it's going to sound funny when I say this, but every morning when I went to work there would always be a 30 foot Orion VII on the G8 and from what I see, it gets packed.  Why is there always a 30 foot bus on the G8 during rush,  I don't know.  The same thing for the  30s.  I have even seen an Orion II on the 30s, which if you think getting a 30 foot bus on the 30s was weird, try getting an Orion II on the 30s...........during rush hour.

I think everything in Bladensburg that's shorter than 60 feet is fair game for the 30s, especially during rush hour.

This doesn't seem endemic to Bladensburg. When I briefly lived along the 3's in northwest Arlington, there always would be one oddball 30' Orion VII in rush that would be crush loaded leaving Rosslyn. Haven't there also been odd cases where Landover has sent a 3900 on the F4?

Right after the Orion V's began to be taken off of the B30, they ended up dominating the F4 (and F6). The long length of those routes makes softs seats and such a benefit, kinda like how Montgomery's D40LFR suburbans end up on a lot of long routes (K6, C8, weekday L8) outside of rush hours.

After slumming on the 90 yesterday and this morning, 6180 found its way home today.

According to Nextbus, the following Orion VIIs are at Bladensburg (most likely for rehab/repaint?)

2504, 2506, 2536, 2539, 2543, 2546, 2556, 2560, 2561, 2562, 2571, 2577, 2580, 2584, 2588, 2598, 2608, 2610, 2630, and 2679

as for the 30-foot ones, 3001-3018 are at Bladensburg for revenue service, so there's no telling when they will be in rehab, and 3019-3035 are all at FMR.


edit 3/25/2012 (for notes): funny how 3018 turned out that it was getting rehabbed right at the time 3019 and 3020 moved to FMR, and moved to FMR right after the rehab. also 2679 has not been rehabbed at the time, instead it was repowered with the C Gas engine

I'm starting to think there are some buses with GPS units from other buses that haven't been renumbered. Also, there are other phantom bus numbers showing up. I also wonder if these number show up on their fixed end CAD/AVL at BOCC.

Well... That possibility (which seems quite possible to me) has been suggested way back when folks were posting about Ikaurus #5205 being assigned to Western.

I went to Mt Pleasant shortly after seeing "9742" on nextbus. Apparently, it was none other than 3766. I waited there until I saw the same bus twice, first it was 3770, then 3766, then 6476, then 3770 again. Looking at the H8 at this very moment on nextbus, you see all those buses that I mentioned, but instead of 3766, it says 9742.

well so much for that, but man how wild that would have been if she was kept for revenue service

It's due time for a better AVL system that is much more reliable than the current one. There was an RFP out for a better integrated system but it's gone now and no idea whether it was cancelled or what. What I've noticed is that these special schedules don't seem to reflect too well on the public side in trying to track a bus since it'll probably load up another route that isn't on the current schedule day or won't track it at all.

Metro is using other Orbital modules from retired buses for ones that fail or just don't work properly (which seems to be on some of the newer buses). They just haven't renumbered them to the current vehicle. Plus, that's probably why alot of the LFAs have the older radio displays than some with newer screens. Also, there is supposed to be an upgrade of the components in the next fiscal year so hopefully things will get better.

<vehicle id="4085" routeTag="Q4" dirTag="Q4_Q4_1" tripTag="2716974" lat="39.040268" lon="-77.0561139" secsSinceReport="14" predictable="true" heading="120" speedKmHr="17.676"/>


and what is this, I don't even...
<vehicle id="2574" routeTag="110" dirTag="110_PATBL_0" lat="38.922127" lon="-76.971207" secsSinceReport="1919" predictable="true" heading="218" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

I've also noticed that 4374 always seems to be on the B29.

According to Nextbus, the following FMR Orion VIIs are at Bladensburg (possibly for rehab):
2516     2523     2529
2530     2538     2554
2566     2574*     2575
2576     2581     2593
2604     2605     2620
2637     2642     3019

*This bus was on the "110" test route, so it could be almost done.

Also, 2463 is apparently near Martin State Airport:

5302, 5312, and 5321 are not being shown due to too much time without having a GPS update, 5320 is getting there too (I think the time out is around 32 million seconds)

I agree that WMATA's Orion VI's are fast buses and they'd certainly have the opportunity to run full speed on Landover's B routes.  However, I'm thinking that GPS unit may be a wee bit faulty as the speed listed equates to roughly 185 MPH:-).

looks like the 2700s are finally starting their rehab as well. so far we have 2712, 2714, and 2717 at Bladensburg.

that said, here's the current list of FMR Orion VIIs at Bladensburg for (possible) rehab
2516, 2523, 2529, 2530, 2554, 2559, 2575, 2581, 2588, 2593, 2604, 2605, 2620, 2637, 2642, 2653, 2712, 2714, 2717, 3031
how do you tell if the bus is at what division?

it's not really in the first page, I forgot where I posted the coords, but what you could do is just plug in the coords on Google Maps or something and that will pin point you to its exact location

in this case I could tell you that Bladensburg's coordinates range from 38.920-38.924 latitude and -76.968 to -76.971 longitude

With that in mind, the list of Orion VIIs at Bladensburg for rehab are as follows:

Also, 2516, 2530, and 2620's GPS's were all updated very recently, so they could be getting out real soon.

You and me both.

Fortunately, 6200, 6202, 6203 and 6204 are all doing Montgomery routes right now (Q2, Y9, J2, and C4, in that order), and 6205-6211 are still at Montgomery. Hopefully, 6201 was only a temporary move.

This is weird... literally NONE of Montgomery or Landover's DE42LFAs are in service at the moment; the only buses in service are Orions and DE40LF(R)s, and in Montgomery's case, D40LFRs as well (all on the C8, no less). Northern's and Western's are still in service today, but why not these two?

2712 at the DC DMV inspection station. you know what this means? this bus should be back at FMR sometime this week. I just hope it hasn't been de-powered to Cummins...

also, since the return of 2642, nothing has taken its place at Bladensburg as of yet (checked all unrehabbed buses from 2501-2730, 3020-3034, and 5302-5321), I guess it's a matter of patience

are you sure this one is rehabbed? I remember a while ago you saw this bus and 3013 with a high secsSinceReport and thought it was being rehabbed (3013 did turn out to be rehabbed, never seen 3004 yet, although this morning it showed that it was on the U4)

I'm guessing it's probably the latter. And as for 2712, it probably is blue, what with it being an airport bus and whatnot...

2630 finally updated again, this time it's at Crystal City (at least it was nearly 24 hours ago)

It's probably one of those GPS's that updates once every couple of months, if that's the case, this bus needs a new one. I last heard (from Delonta I think) that 2630 was sitting in the back of Bladensburg (about a month ago), so there's a chance that this one may be rehabbed. Until then, it remains a mystery.

Actually, I never posted this, but up until now, its GPS showed that it was at Ballston. And I also remember that there was a hit-and-run at Ballston involving a Metrobus a few months back. So its time spent at Bladensburg may have been for repairs, although it is possible that they also rehabbed it during repairs.

yeah I saw that it was at Ballston all that time (supposedly), although since the update, the GPS still shows that it's in that same spot at Crystal City.

I hope this one is rehab 1514, the reason is because 1514 is exactly half of 3028. last time this happened (as far as I know) was with 2228, which is rehab 1114.

yeah, I think 3001 is getting rehabbed too, the seconds count was at around 4 mil before resetting a couple of days ago, though it's still inactive apparently. I've also been keeping an eye on 3016, not sure about 3015 or 17 though

6024 - the coords show that it's at Franklin Street NE, a couple blocks north of the division

2517's GPS timeout is over 7 million seconds now, so it may be back at FMR already, but with a broken GPS, much like what happened with 2672 when it got out. Then again, the same thing was said about 2593, and it's STILL at Bladensburg, so... I don't know.

4343 is showing at Montgomery, while 4085 is offline. To tell you the truth, when it comes to the latter, your guess is as good as mine. And as for NextBus, this may have something to do with the new 74 route; I'm not sure, though. Also, 6194 updated; it's still at Annex. All that's left is 6196.

The WMATA announcement of the changes on their website said that would happen...

EDIT: Something just occurred to me... I have a theory as to what "4085" really is.

A few GPS's from the Flxible Metro E's have shown up online, such as 4042, 4058, and, of course, 4085. Most of them appeared at around the same time that the Xcelsiors have entered service. As George pointed out in an earlier post, 4042 is really 7016, and 4061 is really 7032. However, I first noted 4085's appearance in May, before the Xcelsiors had entered revenue service. I also remember an accident on University Blvd. involving two Metrobuses around this time last year. The buses involved were 6027 and 2082; the latter had rear-ended the former. Shortly afterwards, 6027 had returned to service. 2082, however, has not. My memory is a bit photographic, but I think the damage 2082 had sustained was certainly fixable. For the record, the last location NextBus had of 2082 before it went offline was at the site of the crash. Roughly seven months after the crash, 4085 showed up on NextBus.

Long story short: I believe "4085" is really 2082. I could be wrong on this, but this is just my two cents on the matter.

Yeah. It's a real shame they went with the local scheme for the 2700s. Those things were practically tailor-made for the express scheme. I don't mind them keeping the regular signs, though.

awesome! i wonder what's become of 5306 and 5320. I last saw 5306 at Bladensburg about a month ago, and 5320 had a 25+ million second time out before every bus's GPS was reset, and now 5303's GPS shows no data.

I just checked, it seems you first spotted 2631 at Blade in late June. Hopefully, it'll be back before too long (although I have a feeling it'll be in a couple of weeks, making it a four-month stay like 2593).

Effective immediately until further notice:

Due to area construction, Metro's standard buses will not operate on Castle Blvd, north of Briggs Chaney Road.

Castle Blvd, including the bus turn-around at its north end, will be served by a small shuttle, connecting passengers from Briggs Chaney Park-and-Ride Lot.

All passengers wanting service to Castle Blvd should use the small shuttle from Briggs Chaney Park-and-Ride Lot.

The remainder of the Z8 route will continue to be served by Metro's standard buses.

also, I saw 5321 today, it's rehabbed. it had an "out of service" paper on the dashboard, just like the one I saw on 5306. Guess this means 5306 will be getting rehabbed as well?

Here's a list of Xcelsiors that are not online yet, in order of division:

Bladensburg: 7001 (how ironic), 7023, 7027, 7029

those 6180s and 6190 moving to Montgomery put a smile on my face. apparently, Nextbus did that GPS reset thing again and plenty of buses such as 2587, 2665, 2462, 3025, etc are not showing any data. I hate when that happens to be honest. Speaking of 3025, that went to Bladensburg before 3027, and at some point ended up in some remote place near Chantilly, then back at Bladensburg, I'm guessing that one is rehab 1533, guess we'll find out someday.

Also, I made a list predicting what the future rehab numbers will be for the currently unrehabbed (and in-progess rehab) buses, 2632 was the very last one in my list, looks like I got that wrong (2501 was way up there too)

damn man you beat me to all that, i was just gonna post 3025 returning to FMR. I checked literally a couple of hours ago and it was still at Bladensburg. yeah I also have the feeling that 3025 is 1533, but you never know

also, it seems like all the buses serve routes right before going to rehab. on the routeTag for the new rehabs, they always seem to show route numbers (example: 16A on 2702, 9S on 2508, 23C on 2567, and back when it first went to rehab, 2501 had 15K (or 17K, one of those))

Is it possible that Landover and Bladensburg swapped buses? Two buses at Landover from Bladensburg (5418 and 5422), and two buses from Landover at Bladensburg (6331 and another one yet to be seen)?  Just for the Thanksgiving holiday.

I noticed this too this morning. the routeTag and dirTag is missing, this seems to be the case for the buses that are not in service. when it comes into service, those tags appear again

6006 is at Bladensburg; I have a feeling 6002 and 6048 will follow suit before too long.

As a side note regarding the Orion VIIs: There are 250 of them. I did a head count; the first one to be rehabbed was 2582, which has a rehab # of 1437. The latest one to be rehabbed is 3022, which will (most likely) be #1543. That is a total of 107 rehab numbers, but three of them are Neoplans, so that means 104 Orion VIIs have completed rehab, with 23 more in the process of it, for a total of 127, which is a little more than half the grand total. Bladensburg's newest arrivals (the likes of 2702 and 2570) will probably be done with rehab around mid-late February. This coming week will mark the one-year anniversary of 2582's return. Assuming Metro will only be rehabbing the Orions for the time being, they should all be done by May 2013.

It's some recent change that's on Nextbus's end. UMD's map that they have on the monitor stopped working because of the changes. If you go to the test site, the buses will show up. Maybe they'll correct this in the future.

well since 2587 and 2711 haven't been showing data, you never know, they might be back as well. as of right now, there still hasn't been any other buses going to Bladensburg, however I've got my eye on 2600 since the seconds count is pretty high.

also, don't quote me on this, but 3003 hasn't been in service for days, and even though the seconds count isn't that high, I think it might be going to rehab. again, don't take my word for it.

Nextbus did that restart thing again, great...

since then, a large chunk of 42-4400s have been offline, including ALL of Annex's and West Ox's 42-4300s
Here's a list of what's missing data: (for all 42-4400s)
4200-4232
4236-4238
4243-4248
4250, 4251
4262, 4265, 4266, 4269, 4278, 4282, 4285, 4287, 4295, 4296, 4297, 4299, 4303
4307 (obv), 4309, 4310, 4313, 4314, 4319, 4320, 4323, 4326, 4330, 4332, 4335, 4336, 4339, 4341, 4347, 4351, 4353, 4355
4358, 4360-4366
4375, 4376, 4380, 4381, 4388, 4389, 4390, 4394, 4396, 4397, 4398, 4411

while I searched those 42-4400s up, I found 4276 and 4298 at Western:
<vehicle id="4276" lat="38.958015" lon="-77.085373" secsSinceReport="19318" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>
<vehicle id="4298" lat="38.9579049" lon="-77.0853039" secsSinceReport="36949" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

I hope most of those buses go back online tomorrow

EDIT - ALL of West Ox's Orion VIs are offline as well, don't tell me those are retiring as well... (they are 2024-2032, 2052-2063, 2065-2072)



also, despite being offline for a while before the Nextbus restart, 2446 and 2456 are back online right now
<vehicle id="2446" routeTag="H4" lat="38.921413" lon="-76.969734" secsSinceReport="1265" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

Regarding the West Ox buses, they're probably all offline b/c West Ox is closed on weekends. They should be back on come tomorrow. Besides, the Orions make up the bulk of W.O.'s fleet, I doubt they're getting canned all at once.

you forgot 6184, although it hasn't shown data since it was at Annex, it is now a Montgomery bus
about 2601 and 2726, 2601 had a timeout of about a million seconds before finally showing data, I figured it might have been one of the buses taking place of 2513 and 2638. 2726 was at Johnson Truck Center for a long while, never seen a bus go directly from there to Bladensburg. 2600 is still at FMR, seen on the 38B the other day (back online as well), and 2706 is still up for questioning.

6040 is back online yet again, I wonder what will become of that bus, I hope it's alright

and no info showing for 5315 (i could make a huge list of what else is offline but it's not that important)


and 6506 is back online, still at Bladensburg

anyone else notice that route 74 uses nothing but 6500s?


edit:
if 2501 is back, 3032 should be back later today or tomorrow as well. if that's the case, a new unrehabbed bus will probably take it's place as well. 2613 here looks like it may have been on the way to Bladensburg but the GPS stopped updating after passing 14th and New York NW (though i've observed plenty of drivers would take the 395 up to NY Ave instead, but who knows...)

aha, I knew the 7100s would displace something, I thought it would be the 6300s going to West Ox (since 6347 and 6348 are there), and I kinda expected this, but not the first thing I had in mind. Also, I can't believe it, not only did Montgomery get ALL their 6100s back (except 6182 which should be back soon), they're starting to get some of the ex-Landover ones, amazing...


I did happen to see (via nextbus) 6183 and 6192 at Western Division, idk why they're there, but they're there...

<vehicle id="6183" lat="38.958317" lon="-77.085167" secsSinceReport="86" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

also, if it's any consolation, we at least still have 2633 and 2716 unrehabbed, which have awesome JD engines
and if you ask me, 2656 is back pretty early, I'm pretty sure 2634, 2652, and 2723 came to Bladensburg first (and definitely 2711)

6335, 6336, and 6337 are now at west ox, id post the xml codes but im on my phone and cant copy and paste certain stuff

edit - here they are

<vehicle id="6337" lat="38.848839" lon="-77.378357" secsSinceReport="50113" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

so West Ox has a pretty diverse set of 6300s, from 6301-6309, and a few 6330s, 6340s, and 6390s. from past observations (like all the 6100s moving to Annex and most of Northern's 2100s moving to Royal), West Ox may be moving forward to become a primarily 6300s, another factor could be that they have a lot of 4200s which are gonna go soon anyways.

2056 has been gone for over a year. apparently no one knows what happened to it, but the last time it was online, it was showing that it was at CET at around 31 million seconds.

2008 is also offline btw, and 2018 is finally back online (which is good because that bus is an awesome screamer)

as for the Orion VII rehabs, after 2652 came back, nothing seems to have gone to Bladensburg yet...unless maybe it's one of Bladensburg's 3000s (possibly 3014; in addition to 3012 and 3015)

2034 and 2056 have no data.

2056 has been gone for over a year. apparently no one knows what happened to it, but the last time it was online, it was showing that it was at CET at around 31 million seconds.

2008 is also offline btw, and 2018 is finally back online (which is good because that bus is an awesome screamer)

as for the Orion VII rehabs, after 2652 came back, nothing seems to have gone to Bladensburg yet...unless maybe it's one of Bladensburg's 3000s (possibly 3014; in addition to 3012 and 3015)

2525, 2618, and 2626 all have pretty long timeouts, too (around 600,000 each), so maybe one of those buses is its replacement; who knows.
Oh, and I forgot to mention; I saw 2033 at Bladensburg the other day, it's back at Western now. And it has been four months and seven days since 2711 arrived at Bladensburg; I think it has officially triumphed over 2593 for the second-longest stay at Bladensburg, with 2588 being the longest at about 7-8 months ( I believe you said it had a timeout of 20 million seconds at one point).

They got 2633? Aww, man... Hopefully, the Cummins they'll no doubt equip it with will sound good, like 2720, which has a great whine, and 2638, which is a "singer". (By the way, 2638 is my favorite ex-JD rehab in that regard.)

And I checked; 2570 has spent exactly two months at Bladensburg, so it could indeed be the fastest.

And on an unrelated note, 4262 is back at Northern.

<vehicle id="2665" lat="38.842541" lon="-77.052544" secsSinceReport="24035" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

I hope they put that blue stripe on the front at least. I also hope they spared this bus from becoming C-gassed


about 2570:
2567, 2508, 2664, 2702, 2703, 2632, 2634 were at Bladensburg for a longer time (especially 2634, which has been at Bburg for over 3.5 months) and they're still not home yet.

It does have the blue stripe, and it did get repowered.

NextBus reset again recently (dontcha hate when that happens?), so quick update on the Orion Vs:

Not online: 4200-08, 4214, 4219, 4236, 4241, 4247, 4250-51, 4278-79, 4288, 4294, 4296, 4300-04, 4309-10 (sorry George), 4312-13, 4315-16, 4319-20, 4323, 4326, 4330, 4332-37, 4339, 4341-42, 4344-46, 4348, 4351, 4353-54, 4357, 4359, 4365, 4375-76, 4380-82, 4388-89, 4394, 4396-98

At CET: 4245, 4322, 4325, 4331, 4356, 4363, 4390

This is such a sad sight to see... (at least my favorite V, 4355, is still out and about; it's on the Q4)

Elsewhere: 4246, 4248, and 4272 are at Annex. (4244 is still there as well)

DOUBLE EDIT: Wow. two buses have returned from rehab in the past couple days, and nothing has replaced them yet. I've got some suspects, though: 2622 and 2730 have somewhat long timeouts, and 2531, 2618, 2725, and 3010 are all offline. 2706 is also offline, but it's been like that for a couple months, which leads me to believe it'll resurface at Johnson Truck Center in the not-too-distant future (next Sunday A.D., lol). In the meantime, we've got 3034 at Landover.

you can cross 2725 off that list, saw it on the 38B about 30 min ago

also; 2018, 2034, 2045, and 2064 also have no data (2064 was recently seen at West Ox via Nextbus but soon after that, it went to CET but I never said anything about it until now)

2567 at the DC DMV, should be home soon

edit - 2044, 2047, and 2051 moved to Montgomery (2045 remains offline, but knowing WMATA, it could be anywhere from CET to Landover to West Ox, etc...)

<vehicle id="2044" lat="39.046841" lon="-77.107597" secsSinceReport="142" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

so it looks like 2046 is the only remaining Orion VI at Western that's online.



in addition to 2045 - 2018, 2021, 2034, and 2064 are offline

I don't think it has replaced anything yet, I checked the soon-to-be-back buses but they're still at Bladensburg
also, 2540 and 3029 are back online, still at Bburg

Cool. I have a feeling it'll be displacing 2634 later today; or possibly 3015.

2645, 2713, and 2726 are all back online as well, at Bladensburg, though 2636 has slipped offline.

In other news, 6361-64 have fled to Northern, while 6355 and 6360 have also slipped offline.

4325 is still at Western, though I have a feeling it's really a 7100 disguised as 4325, like what happened with the Flxibles several months back.

Come to think of it, I think I'll list the 42-43-4400s from each division that are still online, as opposed to the ones that are offline.

West Ox: 4209-13, 4215-18, 4220-32, 4237

Royal: 4233-35, 4238-41, 4256-57, 4260, 4399, 4401-12

Annex: 4246, 4248

Landover: 4249, 4252-55, 4261-64, 4367-74, 4377-79, 4383-86

Northern: 4265-77, 4280-87, 4289-93, 4295, 4297-99

Montgomery: see 2 posts above

You've gotta be kidding me... NextBus reset yet again. Evidence? 2540 and 2634 have slipped offline again, as have countless other buses, including 6137 and 6312.

On that note, 6360 is back online, still at Western.

I think someone said it was painted in the express scheme? or local or something like that
anyways, how long has it been since that train collision? I'm thinking it's been out of service longer than 5818 has for Ride On (speaking of which, anyone have any news about 5948?)

Sadly, I have not heard anything about 5948, nor have I seen it since the accident.

Speaking of 2726, before it showed up at Blade, it was at Johnson Truck Center. At the top of page 29, I mentioned that Johnson was capable of doing warranty work on John Deere engines. Put 2 and 2 together, and I think there's a slight chance that this bus could still have its John Deere intact. It probably was repowered like everyone else, but there is a chance it was spared from that. No pun intended.

In unrelated news, 5308 is at Montgomery.

<vehicle id="5308" lat="39.045712" lon="-77.10788" secsSinceReport="7370" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

EDIT: I did a headcount of all unrehabbed Orion VIIs. They are broken down thus:
2503-2615: 38 buses
2616-2685, 2700s: 47 buses
30-footers: 13 buses
Overall Cummins/John Deere ratio: 52/46 (remember, 2679 is repowered, but not rehabbed)

I hope that WMATA alternates which buses it rehabs from here on out. (for instance; 2515, then 2644, then 2573, etc.)

if anything is replacing 2540, it just might be 5318, but knowing WMATA it could be there just for a quick fix even if it's long overdue for a rehab

2618 has been updating a lot lately; a surefire sign that a bus is almost finished with rehab. It appeared at Bladensburg just early this month, but it was offline for a while before that, so it could have arrived during that time slot. And 2622 and 2661 are back online; both buses are at Bladensburg.

5306 has also been updating quite frequently recently (unlike a one-time thing with 5320 and 2086), seems like a good sign, this just may be rehab 1569.

so the next few buses that are due to return to service are 2618, 3010, 2633, 2710, 2683, and 2681 (in no order)
I heard that the REX buses will remain with the REX paint. Until we find out for sure, I'm not coloring in any of the REX buses

also, how do you know 3017 is in rehab?
Title: Re: Nextbus Observations
Post by: RideOn5905 on March 26, 2012, 10:55:09 PM
3017's timeout is moderately high. That being said, I could be wrong, but no other Orion VIIs have arrived in 2540's place yet. Yeah, 5318 came up right afterwards, but I don't know if it would really count as a replacement. Besides, I said I may have found its replacement. As in, "I could be wrong, but I could also be right."

In other news, 2179 is back at Royal, and 2185 is on the 70.

2607 was in the lower 1600s on my list, though knowing WMATA and how some buses can be in rehab much longer than others, my original prediction may actually be right.
but anyways that sucks only one rehab is back this weekend, there's still 2633, 2683, 2710, 3010, and 5306 that should be due to return to service soon

a lot of buses seem to go to rehab in pairs (examples below, even before the Orion VII rehabs), not too long ago it was 2627, and now 2628 has joined it at Bburg

<vehicle id="2628" lat="38.9231989" lon="-76.970436" secsSinceReport="3085" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>


also 2531 is back online, still at Bburg of course

<vehicle id="2531" lat="38.921825" lon="-76.971275" secsSinceReport="104855" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>





here's many examples of the pairings: (in which they are + or - 1 or 2 from each other)

3021, 3022 (1541, 1543)
2630, 2631 (1525, 1527)
2529, 2530 (1501, 1503)
2544, 2545 (1475, 1477)
2560, 2561 (1454, 1456)
2461, 2462 (1419, 1420)
2428, 2429 (1286, 1288)
2038, 2039 (1259, 1261)
2092, 2093 (1252, 1254)
2029, 2028, 2027 (1213, 1215, and 1216)
2084, 2083 (1197, 1199)
2002, 2001 (1187, 1189)
2053, 2052 (1167, 1168)
2172, 2171 (1174, 1175)
2147, 2148 (1065, 1066)
4305, 4306 (1000, 1002)
4298, 4299 (826, 827)
4203, 4204 (773, 775)
and no one has found the rehab number of 2618, but it may be 1578, and 2619 is 1576, so that's another

The culprit? "2436" is actually 2136, and "11" is actually 2145.
(I thought it was too good to be true, but just in case it actually was true, I waited at West Falls Church for 2436, getting ready for a shot of what would have been such a rarity)


Take a look at Nextbus, 2136 shows no data, and neither does 2145.

Also, 2565 is still around, saw it on the 4 line at Rosslyn today



Here's the so called "2436" and "11":

Nothing new has appeared from FMR, so it looks like its replacement is 3006.

In light of the Orion VI recalls due to the fires of 2028 and 2011, various buses are being run as replacements. Most of them are 42/4300s, but here are a few runs that you certainly don't see every day:

2814 and 2343 on the C2:

Seriously, WMATA? You have this GOLDEN opportunity to send another 2500 to rehab in place of 2531, but instead you decided to waste another John Deere. At this rate, the final 30-something rehabs will all be 2500s. If it was, say, 2730 returning from rehab, then I'd be fine with it. But 2531? There's no fucking excuse.

I hate you, WMATA. I hate you. (Incidentally, I had a feeling 3034 would be one of the next ones to get it; I'm glad I got that one right.)

In other news, NextBus reset again (which at this point is basically adding insult to injury), and 2722 is back online at Bladensburg.

EDIT: I think there's a 99.999% chance that the last VII to be rehabbed will be a 2500 (I'm thinking 2537, which was my original second-to-last pick; 2648 was my last one. But due to these circumstances, I'm shifting over to 2537.)

2641 and 2643 replace them at Bladensburg.

Just great...2641 was the one I predicted to be the last rehab after 2632 got rehabbed. I also had 2501, 3012, 2645, and 2668 way up there, but now they're either rehabbed or in the process. I'm gonna do what you do and publicly announce what I think will be last (as well as choose an already-existing C Gas), seems to be working fine for you since 2537 and 2648 are still not rehabbed. Therefore, 2586 will now be the one I predict to be the last rehab, followed by (in no order) 2520, 2555, 2563, 2579, 2602, 2646, and 3006.

This must be a "shuttle" code; everyone's either at Pentagon or Rosslyn.
Routes 110-118 are test garage patterns. Basically, these are test "routes" that test out the CAD/AVL systems on the buses.
110: Bladensburg
111: Four Mile Run
112: Landover
113: Montgomery
114: Northern
115: Royal

unbelievable, apparently no bus has returned from rehab last weekend, nor has one gone to Bladensburg. This is of course talking about FMR buses, as for Bburg buses, 3003 might be done and another Bburg 3000 may get rehabbed soon.

while I'm posting this, I might as well mention that 2672, 2723, and 7143 have no data showing

and also, 2531 hasn't shown that it's been on any route since its return to FMR, hopefully that will change tomorrow

I hate to burst your bubble, but it appears 3006 may be 3003's replacement, judging by its location within Bladensburg, and the somewhat long timeout. Who knows...

Cool. I wonder if this could be the #1569 that we're still missing? And surprisingly, 2662 and 2722 are still at Bladensburg. I would've thought they'd be back by now. I guess not...

3 weekends in a row without anything coming back to FMR? This is making me super impatient, let's hope it's worth the wait.
Well, today may be Monday but it is also Memorial Day so most would consider this day to still be part of the weekend, but let's hope something comes back in the next day or 2.

Just curious about how effective searching the NextBus XML data is for finding active vehicles on the road - I just scanned a bunch and the refresh numbers on most was kind of high and more were showing as unassigned to any route than I would expect in PM rush. My experience in accessing this data from other systems is that the refresh rate should yield much lower numbers. Thanks.

3 weekends in a row without anything coming back to FMR? This is making me super impatient, let's hope it's worth the wait.
Well, today may be Monday but it is also Memorial Day so most would consider this day to still be part of the weekend, but let's hope something comes back in the next day or 2.

Like I said before, 2678 has been offline ever since it first began rehab back in early March. Since you noticed 2670 at Bladensburg last week, and seeing how 5320 is back in service despite being offline, I'm gonna assume that 2678 is back at Four Mile Run, in that same manner. Also, I don't know if you noticed, but 3003 is back in service.

Was this from today? If so, then it makes sense, since today's a holiday, and Metro's operating on a Sunday schedule. Try it again tomorrow, and everything should be back to normal.

My bad - I forgot about that as I had to work! Some of the refresh numbers look a bit higher than I'm used to with other NextBus systems providing open data but it does seem more like what I would expect. Thanks for this information as I didn't know this existed until now.

Wow, so it looks like everything is back to normal, with the exception of Montgomery having some of the ex-Landover 6100s that is also now ex-Annex. I really wish I didn't screw up that shot of 6114 on the L2 but at least I got a decent shot of 6155 on the Z11.


Also, might as well use the rest of this post to show which branded buses are still not rehabbed or in the process:

So it looks like no more non-rehabbed 2620s and 2630s will be running the streets. Besides that, looks like they're REALLY trying to get the JDs out of the way, seeing as there's only one 40-ft non-JD in rehab (2528).
Also, we should definitely be in the 1600s now, there are three new rehabs back and only two spaces left in the 1500s, I look forward to getting them rehab numbers on Thursday

Now this isn't as good as Nextbus, but here's a link for y'all to look at, under "routeID" you can put a route and it will show what buses are on it, otherwise if you leave it blank, it will show every bus in the system that's running.

Well, I'm back. The reason why I've been so inactive is because, for me, at least, this site has been marked as dangerous. (Once I got access to the main site, I get bombarded with attacks; thank God for Norton 360) Does anyone else have this problem? In regards to which buses are replacing all these at Bladensburg, I've found out at least one: 2616. I've been using this site to keep track of buses:

http://api.wmata.com/maps/view

So about a week or so ago, I was checking out the 3A, at it showed 2616 as being on that route, but with the bus indicator showing it at Bladensburg division. I think 2718 might be there as well, since I haven't seen it since I started using this new URL around mid-July. (Then again, the same was true for 2659, and I saw it on the 16Y about 20 minutes ago) Oh well; those are the breaks.
Title: Re: Nextbus Observations
Post by: NewFlyer9736BCT on August 06, 2012, 09:29:26 PM
^^^yeah recently every time I try to go on this site, it says it's been reported as an attack site (I use Firefox)
I did mention in a post earlier that 2616 was at Bladensburg, I saw it there in person. I also thought 2659 was there, but I saw it active again on the API earlier today.
I also mentioned in another post that I was using this link (http://api.wmata.com/Bus.svc/BusPositions?routeId=&includingVariations=true&lat=38.878586&lon=-76.989626&radius=50000&api_key=etgnvtnbpnpj32s8ztdjsujf) for tracking buses, it should show every bus that's running on any route. Of course, this whole WMATA's API thing isn't nearly as great as Nextbus, I really hope they resolve that whole issue soon.

For the record, I've been keeping track of non-rehabbed Orion VIIs. So far:

2586 and 2718 have not been online in over a month. Unless you've seen either of them, I'm marking them as in rehab.
2602 and 2721 have not been online in 2-3 weeks. These are definitely more questionable, but they may have also fled the coop.
3011 and 3026 have not been online in the past week or two. I'm fairly certain that 3026 is being rehabbed since it hasn't been seen since 3034's return, and the same might be true for 3011.
And for this week, the only 3 buses I have not seen online are 2557, 2648, and 2659.

So here's what I think the list of rehab replacements has been:

2626/2725 - 2586/2718
2651/2684 - 2616/2721
2629/2641 - 2602
3006/3034 - 3011/3026
3017/2670 - 2659

Yeah unfortunately I've been having the same feeling with 2586 and 2602, I had 2586 marked as the last to be rehabbed in my predictions, 2602 was one of the last 5 I think too. Also, I haven't heard from 2563 in a while either. Looks like I gotta redo my predictions yet again

Here we are at the end of the week. And among all unrehabbed Orion VIIs, the following ones have not been seen this week:

2557*
2648*
2680
2728
3008
* - haven't been seen last week, either

I don't know what's up with 2659; as soon as I write it off, it shows up in service. This week, it was on the 16G on Tuesday, I believe.
At any rate, methinks that the first three buses listed here have replaced 2643, 2670, and 2705 at Bladensburg. What a bummer; on my list, 2557 was in the final five, 2648 was the last Deere, and 2680 was the last REX bus. At any rate, here's my revised final 10 rehab list in order: 2572, 3009, 2599, 2649, 2521, 2542, 2673, 3020, 2507, 2537.

2503, 2507, 2510, 2514, 2519, 2520, 2521, 2522, 2524, 2525, 2534, 2541, 2542, 2549, 2555, 2563, 2569, 2572, 2585, 2595, 2599, 2600, 2609, 2611, 2647, 2658, 2660, 2663, 2666, 2671, 2673, 2679, 3005, 3008, 3009, 3020, 3030, 3033

Ah, so 2658 is still around. It looks like 2649 has most likely joined the above starred buses (2659, 2716, 2729) at Bladensburg.

In other news, 2646 back at FMR.

At this point, 2677 might be in rehab since I haven't seen it at all this week, and since 2679 is already repowered, not sure when that will go to rehab

According to the API; 2655, 2658, 2666, 2671, and 2673 are still around. As for 2647, 2663, and 2704, they could just be off duty this morning. Now that I think about it, I can't believe it's come down to this few amount of JDs now...

Other buses still in service unrehabbed, according to the API and what I saw in person:
2503, 2507, 2510, 2514, 2515, 2519, 2521, 2522, 2524, 2525, 2534, 2541, 2542, 2552, 2563, 2565, 2569, 2572, 2573, 2579, 2595, 2600, 2609, 2611, 2613, 2614, 3008, 3009, 3020, 3030

After doing my weekly tally of unrehabbed buses, only two have not shown up so far: 2595 and 3008. This is it - only Cummins-powered buses remain. It appears we have entered the homestretch in the Orion VII rehab session.

^^^I'm guessing this means that 2663, 2666, and 2673 haven't been around either? Well looks like this is it, no more JDs on the Orion VIIs :(

But anyways, here's a couple of moves:

So the mysterious 7777 is out and about today:

<BusPosition><DateTime>2012-10-29T10:54:26</DateTime><Deviation>-23.82</Deviation><DirectionNum>0</DirectionNum><DirectionText>WEST</DirectionText><Lat>38.93948</Lat><Lon>-76.87912</Lon><RouteID>32</RouteID><TripEndTime>2012-10-29T11:05:00</TripEndTime><TripHeadsign>FRIENDSHIP HEIGHTS STATION</TripHeadsign><TripID>20851_31</TripID><TripStartTime>2012-10-29T09:30:00</TripStartTime><VehicleID>7777</VehicleID></BusPosition>

According to the API, this bus is just one of only 7 in the entire system that's running today, on routes 32, U8, 53, S2 (2 buses on this route now), 96, and H4.


EDIT - So I just noticed the coordinates on 7777, it's still in that place near CET but I guess it's just tagged on the 32.
Also, plenty more Metrobuses are now in service (not gonna count them all)

EDIT 2 - Just noticed that the coordinates of ALL buses that are up on the API show that the buses are in their respective bus divisions, so I was wrong all along. That said, with the Shepherd Pkwy buses sitting at home, we can now determine that the coords of Shep are around 38.815 lat and -77.016 lon

Here I am at Huntington Station, where I'm waiting for 2680, and as a bonus, 2648 will come around here too. Don't expect pics of them since it's dark out already.

Update: So I got the rehab numbers, they are in the rehab numbers thread. Also, from this week, the following buses have not been heard from, so it's possible they're about to start rehab:

2613
3030

2521 has not been on the API all week either, but last night I saw it on the 9A so I can confirm that it's still around.

What? #6394-96 left West Ox? And #2501 and #2504 is at Bladensburg? What did the NOVA depots get in return (if anything)? I don't trust Bladensburg with our Orion VII CNGs. They lost a C40LF due to fire back in summer of 2011 IIRC.
Title: Re: Nextbus Observations
Post by: NewFlyer9736BCT on March 25, 2013, 04:28:11 PM
Bus fires can happen to any bus. Besides that one bus lost to a fire (which btw was 2336), they still have all of their C40LFs running. Also, Bladensburg division is a heavy-repair facility, so they take good care of their buses. What does FMR get in return? That we'll have to find out. Perhaps Orion Vs, like the one you mentioned earlier on the 7Y?

Side note: It's been well over a month since my last busfan trip because of me being sick and busy with school and work, I look forward for my next trip on either Thursday or Friday (or both) and find all, if not most of the rehabs from that growing list.

2520 is back as well. Looks like 2519 and 2520 are the cutoffs between Bburg and FMR

So because the highest 2500 for Bburg goes up to 2519, we should eventually expect 2513, 2516, 2517, and 2518 to move as well.

I don't know if anyone's noticed, but the are two kinds of buses that are not showing up online; the C40LFs and Annex's D40LFRs (the ones at Landover and Montgomery are perfectly functional). Fortunately, I have another way to keep track of them. While searching, I found 6142 back online, along with 6157.

<NextBusPrediction><DirectionNum>0</DirectionNum><DirectionText>East to Suitland Station</DirectionText><Minutes>42</Minutes><RouteID>D14</RouteID><VehicleID>6157</VehicleID></NextBusPrediction>

I couldn't find 6142 again (it was on the U2), but trust me, it was there.

What nextbus program/website is that? Speaking of which, on my phone I saw that 6141 was in service on the U's as well.

At last! The final Orion VII rehab has returned to service! (2542 for those of you just tuning in)
I'm really hoping that two buses returned from rehab this time instead of one, so that we can finally see a rehabbed DE40LF or another D40LFR

Is it me, or is the API info stuck with yesterday's data? It's showing almost all of the same thing that was seen yesterday (plus the date says 6/03)
I really hope that this is fixed soon (plus the 6100s and C40LFs showing up soon). In the meantime, I'm trying to figure out how we can get individual bus data (without it being on a route) just like the good old days.

It's actually 2228, not 7164. I found out about that while I was out today.
If I didn't already find that bus #6 is 7013, I would have assumed it would be the real 7164 instead

Could it be #2540 or #2640 on the 16B? I don't think Four Mile Run have the technology to maintain DE42LFAs, but I could be wrong.

Yes it was during Memorial Day weekend. 7146 is a Western bus, as the W block stands for Western. For West Ox, the block is A for Arlington since it replaced the old Arlington facility

I sure hope so too, it's been way too long since the last rehab returned, at least as seen via online

Also, I see 6016, 6102, 6140, 6153, and 6155 have been removed from your list. So just to be clear, have they been found unrehabbed still?

@ChargerDodge9 I thought 7041 was the highest at Landover (obviously not counting the 7100s), but good to see it's back at Ox
I would not be shocked if #7040 came back as well.

I've got two things to report as far as Landover goes:

First, for whatever reason, almost all of their DE40LFs and DE40LFRs are not showing up, on either the main API or the stop-by-stop one. I'm assuming they're all still at Landover, since it'd be crazy to have 20+ buses suddenly show up at Bladensburg for rehab all at once, but I hope they come back online soon...

And second, this.

Post by: NewFlyer9736BCT on August 07, 2013, 06:14:19 PM
The other day I noticed a lot of Landover buses not showing up online at all, even the Xcelsiors (7012, 7027, and 7154 to name a few), but now 7027 and 7154 are back online, and maybe 7012. I saw that "5" bus online as well, I'm thinking it could be one of the new rehabs to come back this week since apparently nothing else showed up.
Title: Re: Nextbus Observations
Post by: NewFlyer9736BCT on August 08, 2013, 01:05:36 PM
"5" is none other than 4209, I'm riding it now and assumed that this bus was off the radar until I checked the stop number that I was just at

It's not that often you see the weekly rehabs return later in the week as opposed to earlier.
That said, 6143 is also back from rehab

I wonder what's up with 6140, that one has been off the radar longer than the others now. I'm thinking rehab 1694 is either that bus or 6016.

Even though my theories tend to be false, I'll give another one anyway. The real 6048 might actually be in rehab, and its GPS has been hooked onto a recent rehab Montgomery bus. Although, weird things happen on the C2 anyways, so this could actually be legit.

Yeah, that could be true. I remember last year, when the C2 actually had a Bladensburg block in the afternoon for a short period of time. If it is indeed another rehab in disguise, then it could be either 6016 or 6193. And look who else finally decided to show up...

Yeah those DE40LFs keep faking on us. In fact, 6030 has done it before already.

Anyways, 6192 is back from rehab as well

I wonder if they fixed that GPS on 6112. I hope they did, because I hate having to look for something without being able to track it.
Also not online yet, 6147, however it is back on the road rehabbed.

Also, 6408's GPS has been corrected, no longer showing up as 6048

Speaking of hybrids, 6016 has been gone for WAY too long now (7-8 months, I think). I'm starting to think it might actually be at Johnson Truck Center in Landover, or wherever, getting some repair work done.

Also, as you know, the bus position data for NextBus has only been showing data for: the new Xcelsiors (7265-69), the new cutaways used for the S80, buses returning from rehab, and a few of the Orion Vs. But today, I spotted this:

Nothing else has returned yet, which is weird since there should be hordes of buses due to return soon. But the reason for this post is to say that I will not be able to post next week (Jan 5-12), because I will be going on a cruise in the Caribbean on Royal Caribbean's Adventure of the Seas. I'm so excited; I haven't been on a cruise since Christmas 2007! (For the record, this will be my fourth cruise.) But yeah, I won't be able to post during that time because even though the ship does have an internet café, the fee they charge is ridiculous (I am not even fucking exaggerating when I say it costs $3 per minute to go online). I can't even use my phone because since I'll be overseas, that means my phone bill will be though the roof.

9736BCT, would you mind taking over until I get back?

Went out today and noticed a few observations:
1, #2181 is now back at Royal Street depot. Saw it parked at Pentagon, so I assume that #2180 is also back.
2, #6397 is now back at West Ox. Also saw it at the Pentagon serving the 18G a couple of hours ago.
3, In case not already reported, #3018 is at Bladensburg from FMR. Saw it on the R3 today at Greenbelt station.

I'm back, everyone! I had so much fun this past week, although we were lucky to get down to San Juan in time to make it to the ship. We were supposed to fly from DCA directly to San Juan on the morning of, but JetBlue canceled our flight due to weather conditions (our plane was coming in from Boston or whatever). Luckily, we were able to make last-minute arrangements so we could get down there the day before (God bless you, Delta) as opposed to missing the ship and having to fly to its first port of call. Admittedly, we weren't the only ones who got the short end of Mother Nature's stick; shortly after dinner on the second night, we came across a large group from New York who had just arrived that day, albeit without their luggage, and there were several others who also got caught up in the weather. But, I'm finally back, and I am pleased to report that 6140 and 6141 have both returned.

Has WMATA even begun to rehab the DE40LFs? I have yet to hear about any being repainted or receive engine overhauls yet. Also, any word as to when the first NABI BRT 42 is suppose to get here? If IIRC, the first XDE40 arrived here about this time 3 years ago with the full order starting soon after.

6217 is on the radar but I doubt it's back since it has the same ETA as 6213, this happened with other in-progress rehabs in the past, such as 6113, 6124, 6164, and 6169

Made a few observations while I was out yesterday:

-#2182 is back at Royal street Depot.
-West Ox depot now gained XDE40s #7057 and 7058 as I saw both of them in service yesterday (#7058 was on the 1E IIRC).
-West Ox also got back #6390-6396. DE42LFA #6394 seemed to have been repainted recently as it has the red curve under the windshield that you see under Xcelsior hybrids and Orion VIIs.
- Also returning to West Ox is #7041. That bus was on the 1B yesterday afternoon. Also, I spotted PRTC #250 in training around Woodbridge yesterday afternoon.

Sweet! The only thing I don't like from this is that when the time comes for those buses to be rehabbed, it will be harder to determine which ones are rehabbed unless you look closely and see a rehab number on the front. Do you remember seeing the "local" decals on that bus, whether or not they have been removed?

Actually, I don't remember looking to see if the bus still had that feature. I might go out fanning this Friday to take a better look at what's going on with West Ox as I rarely report about them anymore.

6140 is back online. I saw it in person, still not rehabbed.
Also, 6107 and 6145 are shown here but I think they were just testing the run #s

5416 is back online, not sure how long it was offline since I don't really pay attention to the 5400s (now that the 6100s are finishing up, I probably should)

(Yes, this is part of the NextBus data that shows all buses. I clicked it by mistake, and to my surprise, it's fully functional again, and appears to be showing all buses, like the good old days.

Interesting, so I guess VA routes are getting the 8000 series NABI BRT 42s first. I wonder what was the hold up? PS: Has any 2007 New Flyer C40LFRs received a rehab yet?

Saw at least 3 2014 NABI BRT 42 hybrids in the normal local scheme. Only got two numbers though. #8017 was on the 29X and #8018 was on the 18 line.
