December 2008 Obervations

I looked at it closely and they look fine to me.  The photo was from apparently a phone so it's hard to make conclusion from it.

A Bladensburg bus with the 3830s/3820s on it. Are they testing a new LED or something? Or some sign in thing? First a Landover bus, then a FMR bus, and now a Bladensburg bus? WOW.

How do you determine this?

Oren, I actually saw that 1995 NABI Ikarus bus, with the Metrobus & Metro logos removed, at WMATA's Montgomery bus division last Thursday.  The fleet number was removed as well.

[WMATAGMOAGH]

Thank you.  It doesn't hurt to include those sorts of details when you make your initial posts.

Not surprising. They're probably going to send this to CET.

Even though many routes are in need of artics, I think this is a good move because those NABI artics are slow as hell.

Not as slow as as the Flx-D. But I love those NABIs.

It is probably the 3 that have been there for a while now.  I saw those a few months back.  I think one maybe 5216, forgot the other two though.  Chris G was the first to spot them there.

5201, 5216, and either 5206 or 5215 (based on the fact that I haven't seen those buses in a very long time, so I'm not 100% sure...those retired NABIs could be Bladensburg buses for all we know).

[LandoverDivision]

Let me start the Landover Division Flxible Metro-B Roster all over. Here are the Bs that are at Landover:

9302, 9304, 9312, 9332, 9333, 9345, 9361, 9364, 9366, 9371, 9382, 9385, 9391.

Saw 9312 on the T18 and 9382 on the A12 today.

-2020 on the F8

And The Bus needs to get rid of ALL of their freaking Thomas'. Those things are nervewrecking.

2020 my favorite bus when it was at Four Mile.  The Bus of Vision.

Why is it "The Bus of Vision"? Seems like just an ordinary Orion VI.

Bus # 2020 The bus of vision, get it

What garage is it at now and does it usually do a specific run
