What nextbus program/website is that? Speaking of which, on my phone I saw that 6141 was in service on the U's as well.

Here you go.

Thanks man

Here's something weird I found with that (both from stop 3000664):

<NextBusPrediction><DirectionNum>0</DirectionNum><DirectionText>East to Addison Rd Station</DirectionText><Minutes>26</Minutes><RouteID>P12</RouteID><VehicleID>6</VehicleID></NextBusPrediction>

Plus 7196 now being a Landover bus

And with that, the Orion VII CNGs are finally complete, though I think FMR is still missing #2609 and #2613.

2197 and 2198 have moved to Montgomery yet again

6420 and 6423 have moved to Shepherd (most likely bringing 6421 and 6422 along)

6423 isn't online right now, but here's a screenshot of my phone from yesterday morning showing that bus on the 34

Chargerdodge9 · May 22, 2013, 08:08:01 PM

Confirmed! #6368 and #6370 are both West Ox buses now. Both spotted at Pentagon yesterday. Also #2520 is back as well.

29C 2630
29K 2151
16B 2580
9A 3027
22A 2568
25A 2716
ART 41 5049 (Designline CNG)
PRTC S1 382.
On an unrelated side note, I finally saw a V-22 Osprey yesterday! It was flying over Four Mile Run (not the depot) heading east. Never saw one before.

Well, it looks like 6013 WASN'T ready to be rehabbed yet...

Chargerdodge9 · May 24, 2013, 06:03:21 PM

Why don't they rehabbed those buses already? It's only 39 of them....

RideOn5905 · May 27, 2013, 05:40:44 PM

2613 is back at Four Mile Run...

Chargerdodge9 · May 27, 2013, 07:28:34 PM

Awesome. I think that's the last one right?

NewFlyer9736BCT · May 27, 2013, 07:56:34 PM

Nope there's still 2542. Although it is possible that it's back as well, but no one has seen it online yet.

RideOn5905 · May 28, 2013, 05:38:49 PM

2517 is at Bladensburg. All that remains is 2518.

<BusPosition><DateTime>2013-05-28T17:30:27</DateTime><Deviation>-14.45</Deviation><DirectionNum>0</DirectionNum><DirectionText>EAST</DirectionText><Lat>38.873974</Lat><Lon>-76.971237</Lon><RouteID>X1</RouteID><TripEndTime>2013-05-28T17:16:00</TripEndTime><TripHeadsign>MINNESOTA AVE STATION</TripHeadsign><TripID>7722_31</TripID><TripStartTime>2013-05-28T16:28:00</TripStartTime><VehicleID>2517</VehicleID></BusPosition>

Chargerdodge9 · May 28, 2013, 08:43:40 PM

You might as well add that one too, because I haven't seen it in a while.

Nope. According to this, it's still at FMR.

And 6011 is back at Landover (I hope I'm right about it being rehabbed this time).

<BusPosition><DateTime>2013-05-29T11:56:38</DateTime><Deviation>-3.50</Deviation><DirectionNum>1</DirectionNum><DirectionText>WEST</DirectionText><Lat>38.964863</Lat><Lon>-76.896652</Lon><RouteID>F6</RouteID><TripEndTime>2013-05-29T12:48:00</TripEndTime><TripHeadsign>FORT TOTTEN STATION</TripHeadsign><TripID>2315_31</TripID><TripStartTime>2013-05-29T11:46:00</TripStartTime><VehicleID>6011</VehicleID></BusPosition>
