Day-to-Day Sightings / Re: Nextbus Observations
Last post by Chargerdodge9 - September 23, 2014, 08:32:02 PMSaw at least 3 2014 NABI BRT 42 hybrids in the normal local scheme. Only got two numbers though. #8017 was on the 29X and #8018 was on the 18 line.

Last post by Chargerdodge9 - September 23, 2014, 08:28:11 PMAlso several interesting finds today. First, I can indeed confirm that the new 2014 NABI hybrids (other than the Metroways units) are in service. I'll post those numbers in the Nextbus section. Second, it seems that #2651 is back at FMR depot, saw it earlier at Pentagon, so I assume that #2650 is back as well. Next and by far the most interesting, I saw not one but TWO 1997 Orion V diesels in service at Pentagon. #4290 and #4284 were both serving the 18 line (forgot the exact routes). So does anyone know if these buses are from Parkway depot or if they are West Ox or FMR units? I reported seeing #4299 last week in Annandale IIRC. Lastly, DE42LFA #6416 is now a blue Metro Extra bus. Saw it also on the 18 line.

Last post by Chargerdodge9 - September 22, 2014, 07:25:06 PMInteresting, so I guess VA routes are getting the 8000 series NABI BRT 42s first. I wonder what was the hold up? PS: Has any 2007 New Flyer C40LFRs received a rehab yet?

Last post by Chargerdodge9 - September 15, 2014, 10:43:07 PMQuote from: NewFlyer9736BCT on September 15, 2014, 07:49:01 PMI think #2464 should still be in service. I believe it was reported that #2336, #2407, and #2463 are the ones that were retired. I'll look for those other buses though, thanks.Quote from: Chargerdodge9 on September 15, 2014, 05:19:57 PMThe C40LFs are amazing. I heard 2301, 2421, and 2443 drive very nice, but not sure off the top of my head what else drives good. They all sound great though.
And you know what, I think I going to start fanning the C40LFs more. I've been living in the DMV since summer 2005 and I've only rode them twice (including this past Saturday). Man oh man did #2412 sound amazing!
Not sure if 2464 is still in service because I haven't seen it in a while, but you DEFINITELY want to ride that one, it's nice and fast and my god that JD bass...
