[NewFlyer9736BCT]

Ride-On:
5414 on the 8 at Silver Spring
5812 - No logo on the right
5818 - At Shady Grove this morning then at Rockville where I rode it on the 54. Besides the new paint coat, there's NOTHING different about this bus than it was before...except for a slight new-bus smell. I have a couple of pictures from my phone, they're not that good because of my phone but it's something at least (will post later in photos thread)

WMATA:

2457 on the 79
2815 and 2817 on the 79 with the Express scheme...very awesome looking but no pics...

[LandoverDivision]

What the heck was a Van-Go bus doing on the 4?

[LandoverDivision]

Forgot to mention 2626 on the 83 (Cherry Hill)

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

Does 2815 have the express scheme?

Yes...but I have to say that the bus was either 2815 or 2816...I couldn't see for sure...but either way, it had the express scheme.

Saw 2107 on the T2 today (4/2/09)

Yeah I saw that too...forgot to post that.

And Brandon...VanGo buses can be pretty much used in any other route. I remember this one era where every day I kept seeing a variety of VanGo buses on the 45...and I think yesterday I even saw one of the newer ones (5183 I think) on the 79. Plus...2626 was always a Bladensburg bus...so seeing it on the 83 isn't much news.

[LandoverDivision]

Oh I thought that was a FMR bus. Oh well.

[WMATAGMOAGH]

I saw a VanGo bus coming off the 42 and signed for its next trip on the 11 during rush hour back in the summer of 2007.  Wasn't able to get a photo though unfortunately.
