I've never ridden on THESE buses before. Shame that those kind of buses were no longer in the D.C. area anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Sulu Posted December 9, 2022 Report Share Posted December 9, 2022 I also saw this exact same 1994 RTS bus at the 2019 Museum of Bus Transportation Spring Fling in Hershey, Pennsylvania. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Sulu Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 Fairfax Connector #7818 then and now. First photo of the 1994 TMC RTS was taken on March 27, 2012 and the second photo of the 2018 New Flyer XD35 was taken on September 7, 2022. Both photos were taken by me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see that Fairfax Connector now has intercounty bus routes such as the 924, 952, 954, and 983 to parts of Loudoun County after phase 2 of the Washington Metro Silver Line opened. Also, Loudoun County Transit bus routes to Reston Town Center and Innovation Center stations such as the 312, 320, 321, 322, and 323 are intercounty bus routes as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buses can be used on any route possible. I've seen 40fts on the RIBS before and I've seen 3082-3087 on the 301 once. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusTraveler96 Posted January 21, 2023 Report Share Posted January 21, 2023 New Route 660 will replace Route 644 on February 6, 2023. In addition to existing stops at the Centreville (Stone Rd) Park & Ride and Vienna Metro Station, Route 660 will serve new stops at Fairfax County Government Center and Tysons Metro Station. Route 644 began service on June 29, 2009, and at that time, became the first express (non-stop) route that served the I-66 corridor with a $1.25 (SmarTrip)/$1.35 (cash) base fare. https://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/connector/news/c1_23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCTransitFilms Posted January 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2023 So it seems more buses are with Fairfax Connector. New buses are 7891 and 7892. Does anyone know what type of buses are these? I can assume they’re XD35s or XD40s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd would have given the XD35s a different number series ( probably #7600s) and have all the XD40s in the #7800s and #7900s (eventually, I hate how FFC numbers their buses. Totally disorganized (ART too), both can learn a thing or two from DASH bus). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
