[BM5 via Woodhaven]

Some subway shots I couldn't post in the other thread due to capacity issues.

After lunch, I decided to do one last thing and visit Friendship Heights, before going back to SIlver Spring. These pictures are down at the National Archives

This is actually one of WMATA's express bus route (with the $4.00 fare). Duing middays, this route turns into a local route.

This is an OmniRide bus, coming from Virginia. Many different buses operate to different parts of Northern Virginia. Loudoun County buses, another commuter bus service from Virgnia, unfortunately is not shown here.

This is Metrobus Extra 39 bus. Note that this bus doesn't have the MetroExtra livery. This sighting is the equivalent of a SBS buses using local equipment. Vice-versa does not happen often, but I believe it has happened

I took the 30S, which is a pretty long route, if not one of the longest local routes in the WMATA system, to Friendship Heights Metro.

It seems as if Friendship Heights has their own bus service. In addition, Ride-On Montgomery buses serve this station.

I took the 1 to Silver Spring (11 is a rush hour variant of it that does not make the deviations that the 1 does).

The next day was the day in which I had to go back home to NYC. I had to make it to DC station to catch the 1:00 PM bus (which would arrive in NYC past 5:30 PM).

I took the 70 to Chinatown, for the 80 to Union Station. Here's chinatown

Did you get to or ride the new 7000 series trains? 

 

As for the SBS version it's called "Metroway" they have the newer and last ever built NABI buses on the first spot that YOU posted in Va. Other than that, cool shots! (Stay out of the Pentagon)

Anyways, I didn't get to ride the 7000s. I didn't want to pay a rush hour fare, so I left before the rush ended.

Are you sure 5342 (Ride On Montgomery) isn't a hybrid? It clearly has the hybrid battery on top, unless it was converted to Diesel?
