[rideonrulez]

2532 is in the new "local" paint scheme seen today on Glebe Rd at Columbia Pike at about 6pm.

Rode 5441 on the B30 last night, it had an L block, driver was hauling ass! Also 5444 was in the B30 couple days ago. Is it me or did landover traded some DE42LFA's for some 5400's?

Temporarily, 6301, 6302 and probably 6303 (at least went to Montgomery)

6302 was on the Z2

2088 on the S2, which was probably a cover for 4274 which broke down at Silver Spring.

yeah apparently Montgomery does 1 or 2 runs on the S line or the 70 line. yesterday I saw 4330 on the 70 and last week, 4329 on the S4.

and apparently 6303 is still at Landover, according to nextbus at least (looks like it's just 5441 and 5444 at Landover for now, I think a couple of weeks ago I heard 5442 being spotted on the B30 as well but it's back at Montgomery now)


and for my own observation: looks like the Round Rockville buses are finally back, I saw a few running on the 45 yesterday, couldn't get the numbers though. also last night I saw 2801 on the 86, instead of the big red block with the TTT, this time it was just a big light blue block with no numbers or letters, but the destination was normal (Calverton in this case)

I don't think Montgomery has a couple runs on the 70 or S line. They mainly cover blocks that might not go out.
Ironically, I saw 2801 yesterday afternoon on the 79 and the signs were working (still said ARCHIVES heading northbound though).

I also saw 5441 on several occasions and I think I saw 5444 at BWI

[BladensburgB2]

Of course Montgomery does 70 runs I recall back in Early 2008 before Southeastern closed seeing a few 9800 Flx Ds on the 70 and they had M blocks, I rode 9833 on the 70 once, and seem other Montgomery buses on the 70 all were rush hour blocks.

I can tell you that Montgomery does not operate ANY scheduled S or 70 lines on this pick...
