I actually think MT PLEASANT VIA ADAMS MORGAN is an improvement.  Adams Morgan is an area that isn't served by the Red Line directly and is a major destination for that line.

It only works given if its programmed into the sign. It's still not on alot of Orions at Western.

hmm...most of the buses I see on the 42 these days have that extra "via Adams Morgan" bit.
I mean...Adams Morgan has plenty of other buses that run through there, like the 90, 92, 93, 96, H1, L2, X3, and Circulator. So I don't think it's VERY necessary to add that bit of info on the sign, just a bit of a convenience.

I think any of the 90s buses terminating at Duke Ellington Bridge should instead be signed "ADAMS MORGAN" instead of "DUKE ELLINGTON BRIDGE."  I suspect more people know where Ad Mo is vs. the Ellington Bridge.

Adams Morgan is a broad area. If they had signed them for Adams Morgan, some people would confuse it for the Woodley Park terminus. Ellington Bridge is technically the correct name for the terminus because it ends at that loop before the bridge.

I don't know anyone who considers the area by Calvert and Connecticut to be part of Adams Morgan.  When someone says Adams Morgan to me, I think of 18th and Columbia.  It wouldn't be the end of the world if that headsign said ADAMS MORGAN.

I just don't see it happening. Why change up something that's been the same for years along the 90s. I do wish they could change the 42's terminus to not read Metro Center and should say 9th & G or something of the sort since technically that terminus is situated closer to Gallery Place than Metro Center.

Check this out!!! From what I heard from a friend who's going to work for Ride-On soon, there's gonna be even more of these Gillig Advantages moving up to Gaithersburg.






oh, and the reason why these photos are only 640x480 is because I wasn't aware it was set to that resolution, it wasn't before I was in Silver Spring when I realized why my pictures weren't in good quality.

It's great to see so many Flxes are still in service despite the sudden influx of LFAs.  I like the B&W effect on some of those.
