Well spotted 9382 on the F12 and that's about all.
Does anyone know why buses are on a Saturday schedule today?

Probably because most people have today off from work, but they're expecting enough ridership to justify Saturday service???

I swear when I checked the site this morning, it said Saturday Service will be on July 4, not today...I wish I knew earlier...
Why would they say there's going to be Saturday service ON Saturday?
2527@ King street Station saying 4B...
Just saw 6420 in Local colors deadheading down 14th St at Columbia Heights. This makes 3 known Local 42LFA's at Northern, the more the better?
UPDATE: Also saw 6413 on the S4 at Silver Spring and a couple other LFA's coming in and out on the S2 and 70. Heading up 16th, I also saw 5313 on the S2(!!).
So Northern will be getting the 6420's series LFA's then.

Went past the ART House this evening and saw that the GEORGE SLFs have been relocated since ART will now be running that service (hell of a deadhead....). New numbers are 5293, 5295, 5296, and 5299. I couldn't find any ghosting of the old numbers but will keep my eyes on it so we can get an idea of what became what; they now have VA Local Gov't plates so we can't trace by license plate either. Obviously there's no logic, unless they're still in order (3951 = 5293, 3252 = 5295, so on).
Do these numbers fill any gaps in the NABI numbering?
I originally saw (or heard) this in April and forgot to post it. A WMATA Orion VII now has door chimes like the 60BRTs, except it also says (sometimes) "Thank you for riding Metro" while the rear doors are open. I think it was #2681.

Addendum. 6408 37, 6417 at Archives,
So some of West Ox's Orion Vs have hit Landover. Question: If Annex is due to be replaced, who is going to take over their routes until the new one opens?

These replacements are a few years out so no need to sound any alarms.
9714 on the F8
9491 on the T18
6394 doing driver training, leaving Dupont Circle, heading onto P Street east.
On another note, I would say about anywhere between 20 to 30 Metro Ds are either retired or about to be retired. The FFX Connector takeover of the 12s and 20s speeded that process up.

Very surprising and interesting site this morning. 9366 on the F12. Nothing surprising about that right? That's normal. What wasn't normal about this bus was the sign. The LCD is now yellow. It was broke kinda. The only thing it showed it the front was STATION. Everything else was blocked. The side sign was working though but it looked like someone put it on too low. Anyways, I think this is the only Flx-B in the system to have the sign.

4210 is back at West Ox, seen at Pentagon (it was loaned to Northern for a bit)
2209 might be back at Western as well, I think I saw it on a Western route, I'm almost positive (it was loaned to Montgomery for a bit)

wow Christopher you sure do see 4020 on the NH1 a lot
Does West Ox operate the 28A/B route?
Apparently Royal operates only the 10, 28, and the Annex PM Rush W's and P's, IMO it makes no sense that FMR runs the 29K/N now since it terminates right in front of Royal's door...
I think FMR runs at least some of the 10s as I have reidden CNG busews on this route and Royal don't have any of those.

I think you're right as I have seen FMR buses on Washington Street recently, but it could've also been a 9A.
Ride On's 5753 is still a hybrid :P .
Metro's 6320 on the 31 at Friendship Heights. This seems a bit low, does this mean that Landover/Montgomery may have relinquished their parts of the order and will wait until next year?

6320 has always been Western. I wouldn't make any kind of predictions as to what is where because this order has been very wacky and the assignments are even weirder. I guess we just have to call em as they come in.
Does FMR still do the 1 and 2 routes during peak hours? The only time I've seen an Orion VII on the 2C was when I was leaving from Tysons Corner. Rode it to Dunn Loring Station. This was a Friday.

I'm sure we all see that many buses (and more) each day, but most of us tend to note and/or post on the anomalies.
This afternoon I was near the Chevy Chase Pavilion for about an hour and I saw plenty of Western buses, but all were Orion V and VIs. I was a bit suprised that none of the New Flyer DE42LFAs showed while I was there.

I have the roster saved on om pc. I look at it everyday. The only buses i have problems with are the 4000's.
I just got off Ride On's original 5755 (the 2007 hybrid) on the 5. Must be hard to have two buses of the same number at Silver Spring...

it's still numbered 5755?
I saw 5762 today on the 5, the original hybrid one
If it's a different number, how is it hard to have two 5755's? No agency has two buses the same number. There are these great inventions called computers that allow you to actually change the numbers so the inventories match the fleet!

Dispatchwise, that'd be kinda confusing.
I'm looking for 5755 (Which one) The newer one.
and when they get renumbered, I hope they don't place the new numbers with those cheap ugly number labels like they did for 5997-5999...

I think I might know something about that. Yesterday, I was tracking the 79 and I think there are a couple of blocks that interline with other local routes. One of which being the U8. It was still shown as being a 79 (I think it didn't switch over to the other assignment). Another time, I tracked an R1 deadheading from Silver Spring to Fort Totten.
The other thing could be that the bus that was supposed to be assigned to that block might have broken down or was in the shop and a spare had to be assigned to it. Happens all the time.
it seems like the only thing that the 79 hasn't seen yet is a 4200 or a 5200...

well we know that 4200 and 4201 are Bladensburg buses again, and it seems that they are used as regular Rush Hour buses just like the 2600s and non-express 2800s...so seeing one on the R3 is no different from those buses imo.
Seeing a 4200 on the 79 wouldn't be much different either, just more unlikely since there's much less 4200s than the other buses, and it seems like the 5200s are strictly for the X2, since I have never seen or heard of those buses being on different routes

To be honest, I've never seen the 5200s on anything other than the X2. That line is just busy like the 70. As for the other tics, the U8 doesn't come close to the capacity as the X2. Plus, don't the U2, 4, 5, and 6 service some of those areas around Minn Avenue. Plus, if anyone hasn't heard yet, the X2 is undergoing a study for improvements as a part of the priority corridor plan. We could be seeing a "X9" sometime within the next year.

I think DASH might order either some Orions or Gilligs. They are in the process of building a larger garage at S. Quaker Lane to accommodate more buses.
Imagine a Gillig advantage in the DASH paint scheme. Now that will be cool to see. And if they want to go with Orion the only option they have is the NG.

I don't think there is a 9400 with the wrap around taillights.

I know some 9480s and 9490s do but I don't know about the lower 9400s
speaking of 9400s...I saw 9400 on the F4 or F6...as well as 9308 and 9312
in addition to those sightings...4308 has some Green Energy wrap, 2207 has a Boost Mobile wrap, and...
4322, 4323, 4325, 4328, and 4329 remain at Montgomery
6360 on a northbound 30s run at Georgetown
6413 on a northbound 52 run at 14th and I
can anyone find where 2058, 4317, the 4330s, and rehab #1300 are? (I found rehab #1301 which was 2422)

There's a few of them that retained their original wrap-around taillights. 9318, 9330 (I think), 9352, 9357, 9373, 9373, 9386, 9408, 9490, and I think 9492 also.

is 9373 still in the old scheme? last time I saw it (nearly 4 years ago) it was in the old scheme...I guess it's changed now
...same with 9379, 9383, and 9384...all of which I haven't seen in at least over 3 years ago
Any 40 foot year 1990 Metro B is now in the 3rd scheme. Buses like 9310, 9304, 9345 were all in the second scheme when stored and were repainted when they came back. There are still a few 35 Metro Bs in the second scheme.
Stored? Came back? So, I guess with the ridership increase, Metro Bs came back to service? Cool!
I remember seeing (and attempting to photograph) 9304 when it was on the Silver Spring/Fort Totten shuttle...several years ago when they were doing Labor Day construction on the line.

Forgot to mentioned that on Wednesday afternoon I spotted a hybrid Gillig BRT heading south on I-270 in Bethesda. It appeared to be for CUE??? Bus number was 830.
About time. Do you remember if it was a 30 or 35 footer?
I think it was a 35 footer. It was sort of hard to tell as it was travelling southbound and I was heading north. I had just enough time to see the CUE graphics and bus number.

Actually they replaced the nopowers, who were supposed to still be running.
This afternoon 5713 on the 70 broke down on I-270. I heard about it on WTOP as I left work. When I passed the area 5713 was on the left shoulder with the rescue bus, 5806 and supervisor vehicle. State Trooper also blocked the HOV lane while passengers walked from 5713 to 5806.

Isn't 2351 a Bladensburg bus anyway?
Bladensburg buses on the 32 aren't really that much of a surprise anyway since they still do rush hour runs alongside Four Mile and Annex. 6103-6106 at Montgomery shouldn't really be considered an odd sighting since its been a couple months since they came from Annex.
Ok Chris let me break it down for you. Montgomery and Annex have switched buses (D40LFR's). Thats all i know
My sightings.
6399-54
6400-53
I think 2163 might have a new sign because the letters didnt look that bold. It was just unusual.
And do Bladensburg do some 96 runs because i saw 2635 on it.

2163 had that Aesys sign for a while and Bladensburg does the 96, 97 runs during rush hour. I'm guessing they interline with the X3. Western does a couple of D6 runs as well.

Some might, but not all do. I remember one day seeing a C40LF on the 96 heading towards McLean Gardens over at U Street-Cardozo then an hour later boarding that same bus on the same route in the opposite direction to head towards Union Station.
Nice pics of the Gilligs! It's great that they're finally getting larger buses.

You are probably mistooken 5713 an Orion V with 5313 which could be an older Gillig hybrid. The diesels Gilligs doesn't start till 5726.

I originally saw (or heard) this in April and forgot to post it. A WMATA Orion VII now has door chimes like the 60BRTs, except it also says (sometimes) "Thank you for riding Metro" while the rear doors are open. I think it was #2681.
[smg id=6 type=av] (plug: beta test for new media gallery :-)
The CLASS thing. IIRC means Contactless Acoustic Sensoring System, something like that. I've noticed alot of newer buses have this thing. Whats next, Randi Miller recordings on the bus? *ding ding* "Doors opening. Step back to allow customers to exit. When boarding, please move toward the rear of the bus."
