As Seen On

[WES]

Well this really couldn't go in the DC Observations since it is not really a DC bus sighting, so I created this little topic of buses that are seen in the areas, that they are passing through to get either to their respective T/A or going to a expo.

Well since I was the genius who thought this thing up I will start:

Saw NJT 5331 heading northbound in a traffic jam on I-495 by Central Avenue, while I was heading southbound.

I heard 2 people they saw NJT NABI's buses around here to. Since last month.

Yeah, I saw 5300 and 5303 N/B on I-95 in B-More about 5 weeks ago.  You can expect plenty of sightings over the next couple years as NJTransit is getting 1145 of these NABIs.  It looks like they have about 150 of them, give or take a few.

Good idea Wes.

New Westchester County (NY), Bee Line NABI 40LFW Hybrid on I-95 north near Fredericksburg, VA today.

To revive this topic, today on the Baltimore Beltway saw two "ACE" buses on two seperate flatbeds sitting along the shoulder.  The looked to be NABI artics.  Since I forgot who "ACE" is and who runs it (though I have a hunch), who does?

They maybe the Las Vegas Wright Streetcars that are for the ACE service...

heh...the only out-of-the-area sighting I ever saw was a CUE bus at the National Mall. From what I heard a couple of years ago, South Florida's BCT had possession of WMATA's 6045 (silverbrid) before coming into service here.

Not sure if this is a "Relic" or an "As Seen On", but here's an ex-DASH Orion I in NYC.

Yes, those are our ACE Wright Vehicles.  Some of them had to be shipped to Baltimore then trucked out here, while others were shipped to San Diego and trucked out here.  It had something to do with the Buy America thing where it spread the business to two ports.

Cool that you saw those.  We put a bunch into service this Sunday...can't wait!

I remember seeing also two of Vegas's first order of double deckers heading towards New York Avenue via South Dakota Avenue a few years ago.  Amazing what you see in these parts.

[C40LF_2464]

I remember2 years ago in Baltimore seeing a white 40ft Orion VII NG.

[Perry]

That's weird that the double decker was roaming around in DC.  Maybe they were showing it off to the politicians.  When they were first delivered a few years ago, I'm not kidding when I say this, but one was destroyed by a missle on the ship it was being carried on. 

[WES]

I forgot to mention this but this past Sunday saw two white NJT NABIs heading north on MD 495.  I am guessing these might be future "GO" buses.

[WES]

Well  to revive the topic yet again, though this will happen every now and again, spotted NJT 5711 heading northbound on I95/495 near Central Avenue.

[WES]

NJT 5720 this morning heading north on I-95-495 south of Ritchie Road
