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

<vehicle id="2224" routeTag="62" dirTag="null" lat="38.923061" lon="-76.969528" secsSinceReport="11264" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>
<vehicle id="2164" routeTag="52" dirTag="52_52_1" lat="38.903812" lon="-77.032036" secsSinceReport="22" predictable="true" heading="172" speedKmHr="0.0"/>
<vehicle id="2166" routeTag="70" dirTag="70_70_0" lat="38.917149" lon="-77.021919" secsSinceReport="39" predictable="true" heading="360" speedKmHr="22.5"/>

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.

yeah I saw that it was at Ballston all that time (supposedly), although since the update, the GPS still shows that it's in that same spot at Crystal City.
BTW idk if you saw the rehab thread, but 3004 is, in fact, rehabbed.

Landover's D40LFRs seem to be heading to Bladensburg one by one; first it was 6212, then 6213, and now, 6215 is there.

3028 back at FMR

2720 at Bladensburg

NewFlyer9736BCT · August 18, 2011, 02:20:45 PM

and it's.........BACK at Bladensburg?

2593's GPS finally updated... and it's still not out of rehab yet.

NewFlyer9736BCT · August 19, 2011, 05:52:20 PM

ok, 3028 is back at FMR again

<vehicle id="3028" routeTag="null" dirTag="null" lat="38.842957" lon="-77.054047" secsSinceReport="46" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

I hope this one is rehab 1514, the reason is because 1514 is exactly half of 3028. last time this happened (as far as I know) was with 2228, which is rehab 1114.

Judging from its seconds count, 3016 could be getting rehabbed.

Same thing for 3015 and 3017, although I'm less certain about these two:

yeah, I think 3001 is getting rehabbed too, the seconds count was at around 4 mil before resetting a couple of days ago, though it's still inactive apparently. I've also been keeping an eye on 3016, not sure about 3015 or 17 though

2617 at the DC DMV right now, should be back at FMR within a week or so

ah you beat me to it. that bus is a real mystery...

so it looks like we have a cutoff between Bladensburg's and Montgomery's Xcelsiors. 7038 and 7039

<vehicle id="7038" routeTag="null" dirTag="null" lat="38.921852" lon="-76.969139" secsSinceReport="50860" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>

and 7064 is the highest numbered one online so far

<vehicle id="7064" routeTag="null" dirTag="null" lat="38.941185" lon="-76.878067" secsSinceReport="79119" predictable="false" heading="-4" speedKmHr="0.0"/>
