October 2009 Observations

[ChristopherF]

What's up with the bold on 6101-06 at Montgomery, they've been there now for a couple of months, no need to bold them anymore.  Of course I am talking to a brick wall, so nevermind.

Those Gilligs will be crushed, by a crusher at NIMCO.

I meant ORANGE crushed!

WHOA, calm down princess, that crush thing was a joke, saw that funny haha emoticon (sp?) at the end.

With that said those Gilligs will be crushed at NIMCO or with some other crusher.

And also could we PLEASE stop with the bolding of 6101-06 being at Montgomery.

Only observe of the day was seeing a crushed 9378 rolling down I-95/I495.

I meant ORANGE crushed!

he's just joking lol

anyways, didn't you email Ride-On about the orange crushing a while ago? if i remember correctly, you forwarded me the email and the response from them was that they simply didn't have the money to replace all the old signs, either that or they just don't wanna spend the money, and I don't blame them, because as long as the signs work, then they're fine

and btw can you please stop bolding 6101-6106 being at Montgomery routes and 4052-4065 being on Bladensburg routes? they have been where they are for a while now, it's no news to anyone anymore

There is a reason why I have to bold 6101-6106...  This is being done to further avoid confusion between these buses that came over from Annex & these buses (6179-6211) that Montgomery already has!

And the only new bus sighting of the day so far is a little further up this page (bolded in red).

but everyone in this site knows that by now, it's something that everyone has gotten used to

...plus, it saves you time from bolding stuff

[Scrabbleship]

The Helldorados are back on the road in Ride On land; saw a bunch of them on Nicholson's routes including the VanGo. No sign of the Champions though, 2 weeks and counting.

And in the LFA's getting around department: 6390 on the J4 and 6394 on the J5.

Saw 5714 this morning with no ads on it.  Made me think of the good old days when Ride On buses didn't have exterior ads

That may be so, but in my opinion, it would probably cause confusion.  Perhaps you should include a key to your posts in bold, red etc.

[DCT S9Z4Z6]

It used to be that Ride-On only had ad's INSIDE the buses & they were for County Run services ONLY.

Those were the days. . .  but I also remember when you could LEGALLY smoke on the DC Transit buses and those drivers also made change!
