In D.C., tourists come and tourists go -- often thanks only to the Bus Doctor

This interesting article ran in the Style (why?) section of the Washington Post on Thursday.  You can read it at http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/07/07/AR2010070704684.html.

That was a great article.  The style of writing lent it to the pages of the Style section and that allowed it to have much more life than it would elsewhere.  Still, I enjoyed reading it.  Thanks for the link.

Great article as well! :)  It's great they have someone down there to help people out.  Is there really no bus lot for buses to park in DC?  What do the drivers generally do then?   I know we have one in Philadelphia (you can see it while riding the EL)...it sure helps to get the buses off of the streets.
My favorite buses:
1989 SEPTA AN440: 19 years in service
1989 NJT Metro Bs: 21 years in service
1990 WMATA 93/9400 Flxes: 20 years in service!
1990-92 Ride-On Orion Is: 17-18 years in service!

Tell me again I have no taste in buses...

There are a few places drivers can stick a bus...I'm surprised that RFK Stadium doesn't get more use for such a thing though.  It's not....*too* far from downtown.
