Nextbus Observations

RideOn5905 · December 18, 2011, 10:55:26 PM

Regarding the West Ox buses, they're probably all offline b/c West Ox is closed on weekends. They should be back on come tomorrow. Besides, the Orions make up the bulk of W.O.'s fleet, I doubt they're getting canned all at once.

And speaking of which, among Landover's DE40LFs, 6002, 6005, 6006, 6008, 6013, and 6014 are all offline right now (6006 was last shown at Bladensburg). Montgomery, meanwhile, only has one; 6033, as well as three D40LFRs: 6198, 6200, and 6204. From my observations, 6200 and 6204 have been out of service for about the same time (about 2 months, I'd say), I just hope they're okay; 6200 is my favorite bus...

you forgot 6184, although it hasn't shown data since it was at Annex, it is now a Montgomery bus
about 2601 and 2726, 2601 had a timeout of about a million seconds before finally showing data, I figured it might have been one of the buses taking place of 2513 and 2638. 2726 was at Johnson Truck Center for a long while, never seen a bus go directly from there to Bladensburg. 2600 is still at FMR, seen on the 38B the other day (back online as well), and 2706 is still up for questioning.

6040 is back online yet again, I wonder what will become of that bus, I hope it's alright

2709 and 2715 are both on South Dakota Avenue, about to merge onto New York Avenue heading towards PG County. (probably going to Davidsonville P&R)

You know what that means: it won't be long before they return to Four Mile Run. And for the record, I didn't include 6184 b/c you mentioned that its GPS didn't work.

Speaking of which, 6198, 6200, and 6204 are all back online; at Montgomery, of course. That's a relief...

EDIT: 2671 is finally back online; it's at Johnson Truck Center.

So far, nothing else has joined 2645 yet; though I am keeping an eye on 2521, 2600, and 2708, who all have long timeouts, and 2706 and 2713, who are offline.

5414 and 5422 are at Landover; presumably for the B30.

2671 back at FMR, after all this time it's been MIA, there's a slight chance it may be rehabbed, but don't count on it.
