Meh. Nothing odd there. FMR and Annex does 32 cuts every day as well as 36 cuts.

@Transport
Looks like another West Ox move. I remember seeing 6403 at E Falls Church signed as Q4 Silver Spring as it was heading to West Ox. I talked to the operator who was sitting there and he told me it was going over to them. Since there have been a few buses heading to West Ox, it might be a move to get some 6500s to head up to Montgomery, but West Ox might be getting some in the near future as they only have quite a few there (6396-6409).

Or the VII could've been on the A9 earlier that day and someone diddnt change the sign FMR does do the A9 in the mornings

That's good news.  On that note, do you have any info on the status of 67/6891 or the remaining 30-footers? (NOTE: The above would be the opposite of good news on the buses in question.)

[Flxible]

Has anyone seen 925529 lately?  I'm hoping it's still around.  When I rode it on the 22 back in March, the driver said it wasn't supposed to be on the road but somehow slipped by.

Yes, I saw 5529 Tuesday afternoon of this week on I-370 coming out of Shady Grove station.  It's actually on the road pretty often.

Told ya so . When I was Crystal City Station, One of the 3000 series Orions VII's was the FMR shuttle. The CD voice, said something then, Four Mile Run Shuttle. I'm not sure if it was F99, but I know for sure it said Four Mile Run Shuttle.

What I don't get is why Clever Devices have the division shuttle routes programmed.
