3004 on the H6; keep your eyes peeled for this one.

are you sure this one is rehabbed? I remember a while ago you saw this bus and 3013 with a high secsSinceReport and thought it was being rehabbed (3013 did turn out to be rehabbed, never seen 3004 yet, although this morning it showed that it was on the U4)

I am 95% sure that it is rehabbed. I don't know why else it would be out of service for so long.
Also, 2183 is at Royal; I'm thinking the Xcelsiors are causing a few 2100s to move.

From what I heard from Chris Fancher, 6493 was involved in an accident. Also, I forgot to mention this, but 2010 is also at Bladensburg, it's been there since a couple of months ago, it's still there now apparently.

2712 back at FMR, I'm assuming this one is blue

could there be an off chance that "4042" is 2462? or maybe one of the 7000s...let's hope for the best

I'm guessing it's probably the latter. And as for 2712, it probably is blue, what with it being an airport bus and whatnot...

EDIT: And 2624 has arrived at Bladensburg.

2630 finally updated again, this time it's at Crystal City (at least it was nearly 24 hours ago)

<vehicle id="2630" routeTag="null" dirTag="null" lat="38.857254" lon="-77.053032" secsSinceReport="69617" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

It's probably one of those GPS's that updates once every couple of months, if that's the case, this bus needs a new one. I last heard (from Delonta I think) that 2630 was sitting in the back of Bladensburg (about a month ago), so there's a chance that this one may be rehabbed. Until then, it remains a mystery.



edit - 2224 at Bladensburg, 2164 on the 52, 2166 on the 70

Actually, I never posted this, but up until now, its GPS showed that it was at Ballston. And I also remember that there was a hit-and-run at Ballston involving a Metrobus a few months back. So its time spent at Bladensburg may have been for repairs, although it is possible that they also rehabbed it during repairs.
