Forgot to mentioned that on Wednesday afternoon I spotted a hybrid Gillig BRT heading south on I-270 in Bethesda.  It appeared to be for CUE??? Bus number was 830.

About time. Do you remember if it was a 30 or 35 footer?

[Perry]

That would fit in with their numbering scheme.  Look at CUE getting all fancy and buying new buses!!!

Eventually it was bound to happen. I mean they have only 8 buses. I wonder if they'll expand service.
