December 2009 Observations

[79MetroExtraMD]

6396, 6398, 6405 & 6408 will most likely go to West Ox (formerly Arlington).
6301-6306 will most likely go to Landover.
At last checked, 6364 was a Western bus.

6395-6409 at West Ox should make more horse sense, but we'll see how the upcoming set of shifts go as this decade winds down.

6364 is Montgomery. I checked it assigned to the C4 a couple days ago.

9306 on the F4, 9376 on the J4, 9388 on the 32, 9399 on the A2, 9413 on the Z8

...WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?

interesting way to start off the new Q line...

speaking of which, I would really appreciate if someone could post pics of buses on the new Q routes, I won't be able to see them for myself for another couple of weeks.

From which garage does 6110 operate out of?

Let's think logically here...you said so yourself that 6101-6144 are at Annex...so what does that mean about 6110? let's think about that one...

4399 on the NH1
6101 on the NH1

finally...something different on the NH1...

6139 on the NH1

oh wait...

Why does he post the same buses on the same route's every day? I always wonder how he manages to go to all these places every morning!

I wonder the same too. Long way around the Beltway?

[WMATAGMOAGH]

Maybe Ken can look into some of these bus numbers and tell us if they really are in those places.

9388 Annex.
Western doesn't have any Flxibles.

Strange? So they already presumed it might be a low ridership route or something. This is getting suspicious. I need proof now.

Might be a lack of equipment for the route or a short run. It's still running as of now heading up to Shady Grove.
