Niiiiiice! where was this? I heard that 9310 (along with 2 other buses, I guess 9394 is one of those others) had their seats removed or something like that to provide as a shuttle for disabled or something like that, I forgot what it was. I wonder if the rehab numbers are still visible...
It's nice to see that these buses are still out on the streets, even though they're not on revenue service

This was a block away from Archives. 9307 was the other one besides 9310 and 9394.

My pics from yesterday. I got more but I thought these were the only ones worth putting up.

It's been a while since I posted here. Anyways, yesterday afternoon, there were 3 Flxibles serving some kind of shuttle yesterday: 9307, 9310 and 9394. Got a couple of pictures of them.

Those pics were great!! The colors stood out really well!! What camera are you using?

Canon Powershot SX130IS and thanks they really do.

Let me make a minor correction to what I said a year and a half ago: your photography...HAS come along.  You have arrived :-)  Those are GREAT photos dude.  They make a subject as boring as LFAs look good -- Keep up the good work!

LOL thanks man.

Here's a special photo I got yesterday of The Bus Gillig Advantage # 63196:



Some other photos I got yesterday:

From the other day: 2079 70 then 71

Here are some of y pics from the past 2 weeks:

A CNG tank at Blade broke that's why you see Blade buses at FMR.

5419, 2409, 2373, 2450 and  2419 all at FMR today

There are bad apples in both bunches, speaking in terms of acceleration.  Any vehicle will roll down a hill, speeding up along the way, and then keep that speed for some time (reword: any vehicle can *get* fast), but the question is how long it takes to get to that point.  When you're starting and stopping every block, it's acceleration that matters, not sustained speed.

WMATA's Orion VIIs could make good express buses, but overall, as a whole, they make crappy CITY buses.

That is true.

I agree with with the other Brandon. If we were to remove it just simply remove the words that's all. But again, we gotta deal with it one way or another theres nothing any of us can really do about it. What's done is done.

Branding really doesn't matter. You're not going to let a bus pass because it's painted blue and says express. No one is saying you're wrong or anything, it's just that no one really cares about it being branded. We gotta deal with it one way or another.

Yeah it's 2061
