Does West Ox operate the 28A/B route?

Does West Ox operate the 28A/B route?

Royal Street.

[NewFlyer9736BCT]

Apparently Royal operates only the 10, 28, and the Annex PM Rush W's and P's, IMO it makes no sense that FMR runs the 29K/N now since it terminates right in front of Royal's door...

[Antozilla]

I think FMR runs at least some of the 10s as I have reidden CNG busews on this route and Royal don't have any of those.

I think you're right as I have seen FMR buses on Washington Street recently, but it could've also been a 9A.

Ride On's 5753 is still a hybrid  .
Metro's 6320 on the 31 at Friendship Heights. This seems a bit low, does this mean that Landover/Montgomery may have relinquished their parts of the order and will wait until next year?

6320 has always been Western. I wouldn't make any kind of predictions as to what is where because this order has been very wacky and the assignments are even weirder. I guess we just have to call em as they come in.

[OrionFlyer]

Does FMR still do the 1 and 2 routes during peak hours? The only time I've seen an Orion VII on the 2C was when I was leaving from Tysons Corner. Rode it to Dunn Loring Station. This was a Friday.

They still do the 1 and 2 during rush hour.

How do you guys remember all of these bus numbers?  I tried and I can't

I'm sure we all see that many buses (and more) each day, but most of us tend to note and/or post on the anomalies. 

This afternoon I was near the Chevy Chase Pavilion for about an hour and I saw plenty of Western buses, but all were Orion V and VIs.  I was a bit suprised that none of the New Flyer DE42LFAs showed while I was there.

write it on a notebook or piece of paper, that's what I do
