Nice pics George. I havent seen those NABI BRT's in a long time. And 2394 looks fresh in her new clothes. I saw it yesterday doing the 83/86.

Sweet pics Wayne. The block numbers for the S9 seem whacky. The morning ones are like NS5x but from your pics, the evening ones look like NS9x. I got a hint that 6424 6425 was set up to say SILVER SPRNGS STA. There are like four different readings for this same destination floating out there. I would have thought they would have formatted the signs the same way with the 2800s for the 79 destinations.

those pics are wayyyyy too small

and Wayne...nice pics...lots of them, all of them were awesome. Lol at the first pic...I never seen that before
Plus...what kind of signs are the 6400s using? Either way, WMATA has to realize it's Silver Spring not Silver Springs Station.

Ride On bus #5738 is missing the fleet number on the front.

That was Wayne that took those pics, though I would like to take credit for that fine work, but it ain't me.

haha whoops, I always get Wes and Wayne mixed up XD

In Waynes first pic of 6001, I saw that bus acting up yesterday. Since the signs are regulary supposed to be like: F6 ^{SILVER_STATION}^SPRING (I tryed my best) the sign was like: SILVER then SPRING then STATION. But anyways Nice pics Wayne and Blade.

Here's the 5 programmings for Silver Spring:

1. Silver Spring
____Station_______(default)

2. Silver (then) Spring (then) Station (seen on random buses)

3. Silvr Spgs (then) Station (seen on 9733 and 9773...though 9773 might be fixed, i dunno about 9733)

4. Silver Spring (then) Station (seen on the MetroExtra buses)

5. Silver Spgs
___-Station_______ (seen on the new 6400s on the S9)

I love how Silver Spring always gets called Silver Springs. The same thing happens with Giant Food. I don't know how many people I would hear call it Giants.
