DASH (Alexandria Transit Company) 103-105
DASH (Alexandria Transit Company) 103-105 are 2002 MCI D4500 coaches.
They were purchased used from Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Commission in summer 2019 for the WMATA Blue Line Shuttle. They ran briefly from August to September 2019 before being parked and wrapped into the DASH scheme. About six were purchased, with three units remaining active as spare and shuttle buses while one is used for parts. They were originally numbered 703-705 and were renumbered in December 2019 to avoid a numbering conflict with new buses being delivered. They saw service briefly again in July 2021 when 104 was operating on the AT2X, and then again in October 2021 when Metrorail service was suspended between Rosslyn and Pentagon stations.
Since then, they have been primarily used for charters.
