Are the seats in the repainted 2300/2400s any different?
Nice pics as usual Wayne...I noticed you posted the same pic of 4087 3 times.
also, I don't find those new ART NABIs ugly...

Nope. The only difference is that they have new LED stop requested signs and new block number signs.

Thank you. Also thanks for the heads-up about #4087 pic. I've deleted the extra two.
Yes, I know many people seem to like NABI's new styling. That said, I'm one of a few who seem to prefer New Flyer's classic LF styling over the LFR.
Thanks. Also, thanks for the heads-up about #4087. I removed the extra two.
Yes, I realize many people like NABI's new styling. I just can't get into it, but I'm also one of a few who prefers New Flyer's classic styling to the LFR styling.
While on the subject of stylings, I went by CET on the train and their new employee shuttles have taken the Metro Local scheme. The top of them have MetroShuttle in the same styling as MetroAccess.
Just some LFA pics from Sunday is all:

Yeah yesterday. If you meant what time, it was in the afternoon sometime between 2 and 4.

even BEFORE Southeast closed, Northern did the 96. As for the other 90s, those used to be Southeast and are now Northern. As for the 97 those were and are still Northern/Bladensburg split, and the 98...well...you know...
I think the 90 was the only thing Southeast did AFAIK. The 92,93,96 were Northern under the NJxx blocks. The 90 was under the S9xx blocks.

no, the 92 was definitely SE, and I think the 93 was as well, but idk because I never seen a bus on that route.

Nice pics WMATAGMOAGH. 5414 must have been on one of the U lines before the R2.

Or the driver never changed the block sign. Not sure why it had a U block.

It's not too surprising to find one of these buses on regular routes lately since the 5400 series artics are on the 79 due to the Red Line closing...
Finding one of these during other times is pretty surprising though...I think the first report was by me when I saw a MetroExtra bus on the D5 several months ago.
Went bus fanning today and got some good shots from allover!

It will be interesting to see how many people migrate over to the buses to take advantage of the newer services into DC (S9, 79) or the cross-county ones that people didn't see the value in until this week. Parallel bus lines certainly have their benefits.....
In my days of living in Ballston, even though it took longer, it was more interesting to take the buses from there to Wheaton and elsewhere than dealing with the Metro.
Jereme your pics are sweet. Lovin' them LFA pics. Take more!!
Nice pics Jereme. Is 6423 the only local brt at Northern? Anybody know?

I heard that 6421 was also at Northern, but I haven't seen it yet.
Also, D42LFA, I think I may have seen you yesterday at Silver Spring...I saw 2 people there talking about buses and taking pics, or was that Brandon, idk, probably one of you guys.
If you saw a guy in a Bladensburg High School T-Shirt and blue jeans with a red camera, that was me.
It could be me because i was there all day with another busfan before Brandon came. I was wearing a Green shirt.
It was someone with a black shirt and another one with a grey shirt, I forgot what it said on each shirt though but the grey one might have been a Bburg HS shirt

Wow. What is 2820 doing on the 70. If i was to guess i would say the whole shuttle thing. But anyways nice pics Ken. I never even saw a good picture if 2823 before to.
Nice pics. So I guess BV90 and BUS8 are block numbers for Bladensburg runs on the 70 for shuttle service.
Whats SX?

seems like it's the block number for the shuttle service
though not all buses had that, some of them had SHUT for Shuttle, and I remember 4323 had M000 as its block...

Not necessarily. They had to pull buses from off of deadheads to operate fill ins for certain runs.
Just some normal pics from last week.
