August 2009 Observation Photos

Hey George, nice catch with 2561 on the 32. I've been told that FMR operates the 30s routes, but I've never actually seen an FMR bus on that line until now.. I guess its just a Rush Hour thing. What other DC routes does FMR operates, besides the P6, if you know or if anybody knows?

So Bladensburg, Western, Annex, and FMR operate the 30s. But its mainly operated by Western. 

Brandon, nice catches with the C22 and  the 37fts at CET. I hope some of the DE42LFAs go to the B30. If Landover gets some Express LFAs, hopefully they'll have suburban seats and be used on the B30.

I've heard that one of the DE42LFAs have suburban seats, don't know which one, though.

I think thats about it for what DC routes FMR operates.
Surburban seats? Ha. Could happen to get maybe a couple on the B30. Only thing is, 295 tends to be crappy in certain locations and those bumps can do some bad.

The suburban seaters might be the upper 6400s...the highest one I've seen is 6457 so maybe 6458 and up will be suburban

...then again I haven't seen the inside of 6457 so it might be suburban

speaking of interiors, does anyone know where I can find that picture of 2550's interior? I wanna see how it looks like.

It is an employee shuttle, it doesn't matter what runs there.

WMATA is going to get so much heat from doing that. SO many people crowding on a small bus like that oh man. It'll be funny though lol.

lol yea...

btw are those Flx Metro-Es down there?

Yup. I think they retired 4050 and 4054.

Then what of TAGS? Meh. I distinguishes it from MetroAccess. They might use them on ELEV shuttles as well.

Welcome to WMATA Bus Roulette.  Don't gamble too much, the odds are generally never in our favor ;-)

For once I decide to busfan around my neck of the woods:









NOTES:
-5400 seen in this picture was on the 75
-Confirmed at Gaithersburg: 5727-5731, 5734...2 days ago I saw 5732 on the 49 but that might have changed
-5744 remains at Silver Spring, as seen on the 49 here
-Anyone seen 5726 and 5733 lately?

There ChristopherF, I did "your" observations for you
