Only report your own sightings. Don't put up mine. A picture that I post counts as a sighting. I don't need anyone else to post sightings that aren't their own.

maybe just in case someone is not able to see the photos...then he's doing them a favor.

plus, for everyone else, Ken told me he rode 6444 on the N line today...on a saturday (it also has the express scheme)...plus 6386 and 6404 (both local) on the 30s today.

Also, because Ken confirmed 6444 on the N....we have our borderline for the express buses: 6443 and lower are at Northern and 6444 and above are at Western.

Some things I forgot to mention last week was these tidbits.

2166 was on the S2 a few times, though this might have been mentioned before, means that the evenness of the 2100-2200s is no more apparently, between Western and Northern.

Ride On 5391 who said "NOT TAKOMA", now had "NOT WHEATON", heading that way.

Ride On 5591 on the same day was doing it's ABCs and 123s in its rear destination sign.
For example it would do the following:

A once, then A twice, then A three times and then A four times, for every letter up until Z, then it would start at 0 and do the same thing up until I guess 9, then go back to A. I was following it on the F4 but wasn't able to get a video of it.
