4387 is at southern it was on no.#39 to POTOMAC PARK.

ok !! I got a prime example on this we were giving letters yesterday sayin something about this but when you pull out/or relieve a bus the operator do not put the defiicts or anyother info on the manifest, or when the clerk assisgn u a bus they give u 4017 to do a P17 with no headlights or back up lights then u call for a replacement they tell u to "TO KEEP ON GOING" or "  the famous one " WE DONT HAVE EQUIPMENT". Then street supervisor ask u why u aint call it in then want to give u a penalty . Metro is getting all these new buses but some garage are not getting them or they dont want them running over in certain areas cuz they just let the 6100's from my garage (southern) run on dc routes that we operate we get treated like the step child of metro.

well southern has 134 buses now since we  have the M6 back.

Do u think RIDE ON  will purchase artics anytime soon.

I was told by a shop man that Southern is getting all of the 6100's in replace of 4000's fleet. also the person who assign buses to the garages stated that southern will not get brt buses but in replace of the flxible fleet we will get 6100's/6200's. we have expanded our garage fleet from 128 to 140 we can accomadate the M6,V5,90,92lines. They are tryin to make out if we can get V7/8 lines but I dont think we can just wait and see.
