Can u give an input on what u think agency' should do with the money that president  is giving out . What would u do with money?

Montgomery is not doing the 70 line Northern has 177 buses , Montgomery will continue to do peaks only like (2 blocks).

Hey Northern garage is doing the #S9 route  and far as Mongt they are suppose to be doing a part of the #70 along with Northern garage because of the fact they are getting the #S9 so they will need a lil help with the #70

Bladensburg just recieve a bulk of new fleet so they will be ok with 5 37fts but that may change. fleet numbers are supposed to be 5423-? 6300-6400's. all buses are hybrid

While going to a meeting at Arlington I saw 4054,4055,4056 going in the direction of bladensburg

The operator is out of Southern division and the operator is a good friend of mine so I do apologize if I came off wrong to any of you it was a stressful day.

This happen on the route A2 on the "avenue"

"WE HERE AS SUPERVISORS AT METRO ARE TRYING OUR BEST TO PROTECT OUR OPERATORS WITH PLAIN CLOTHES OFFICERS  ,BUT MORE TO COME"

yes they did until 2001 when the 2300's/2400's cng buses came in and they spreaded all fleet to other garages.

Didn't Bladensburg always have some 4200's?

Just left meeting as of last Thursday the 8 new buses from "NEW FLYER AMERICA" had to go back to the manufactor due to safety issues . stay tuned!!!!!!!!!
