The advertising in the last photo makes the bus look hideous IMO...

Yeah I don't like the plain colored advertisements either. I'm glad those don't cover the windows, though!

Do the Circulator's newer 40 foot buses primarily run on the newest line, or do they run just about anywhere?

I saw 4/6 new Van Hools on the Woodley Park/Adams Morgan whatever you want to call that route yesterday (1/24/11). Not sure if this has been mentioned but those last six are NOT owned by WMATA but by First Transit.

I thought all of them were owned by First Transit.

Does WMATA own the other Van Hools? I thought they belonged to DDOT for some reason.

According to the documents, the first 43 Van Hools are owned by WMATA. In fact there even on the official WMATA roster. But as I stated the last 6 are owned by First Transit.

OK, thanks for the info and clarification.

Folks -

We strayed a bit. You're welcome to continue the discussion (in another topic), but we need get this thread back on-topic as the Jan 2011 Photos.

Thanks a bunch.

Whoops. Our bad, Wayne. What thread would be most appropriate to move the above Xcelsior speculation to?

No problem. It can be in DC Transit Today if it concerning a DC area agency or Beyond the Beltway if it's another agency or even The Grapevine and Newsroom depending on the discussion. We understand that discussions will happen from time to time in the photo section. Again, no problem, just a friendly reminder.

Two Fairfax Connector 632 buses from Vienna Station stuck in the snow near Fair Lakes Pkwy and Stringfellow Rd. From the night of Jan. 26... snow gridlock.
