Title: New Flyer 42ft BRT Disussion

Since some of the the 42fts are in service already I think we should talk about those for now.

So 6301-6423 are Local and 6424-6461 are Express.

Northern is receiving 30 BRT's. 10/30 are already there (Express S9). So the remaining 20 will be  locals. Which Express buses do they have? 6424-??

Western is receiving 20. People have observed both Express and Locals on there routes already.

Montgomery is receiving 38. DE40lfr already reported seeing some of the BRT's on Montgomery's routes. So they have some of there's.

Landover is receiving the most, with 48.

West Ox is receiving 25

The real question is, who's getting which buses?

Northern:
6424-6443
as for the locals, I have no idea but I know the express ones stop at 6443 for them. Western has 6444.

6444 and up are still express

Now it might be possible that 6384 will move to Montgomery to even out the numbering...or the order might be split (for example: Montgomery gets 6349-6375 and 6452-6461 (just an example...remember))
