DUH BUS got DUH boxes

[rideonrulez]

When were you on 6791? I happened to see it early this morning both coming into Silver Spring (around 7:00 AM) and leaving towards College Park (around 8:15 AM). How you were able to get on might be more interesting, aren't you a little old to be a UMD student .

Your never too old to be in college!!  I rode the 9:29 trip from Silver Spring and boy that bus had better days as it was struggling quite a bit. How I got on it will remain a mystery......

I definitely suggest driving for Shuttle UM.  I did so from 1993 to 1994 and it was so much fun. It was the catalyst to getting into the transit industry for me.

Ah, I was wondering if those Flxibles were still running.  Are the 30fters still roaming around?

Yep. Still running strong. I'm just wondering when they'll think about replacing them. They are over 17 years old and they are showing their age. I think they are supposed to be getting another order of Gilligs and some Setras soon (I have no idea why Setra again.).

I have no idea why Setra again.

Why not?

[79MetroExtraMD]

Why not?

I want something non-Diamler.
Also, I was on 53015 on the 17 with the wacky box setup. I think the boxes are hardwired under the floor because there was a hole drilled in the dash with the power cable going thru it. At first I thought wireless, but I don't think GFI has a wireless option for their OCUs (at least I don't think they do).

I thought Duh Bus was actually improving until I saw this today (11/10/08) on a Thomas SLF (ex-MTA 3015). It is a pretty stupid setup as I saw people walk past the operator (after he pointed everybody where the farebox was including me), insert the fare then had to squeeze back (since there were 3 other people in line trying to insert there fare) to the operator to get a transfer. Also for some reason my smartrip didn't work on it. 

All I can say is "REEETARDED"

Do you have to be a UMD student to drive for them?
