[@kerrysmith5269]

This bus has some serious backfire.

I saw 2 WMATA Metrobus Orion VII CNGs, When I was at Mount Rainier.

[@kerrysmith5269]

Was it the 30 footer or the 40 footer?

Nice Orion V profile pic

[@MWTransitVids]

Thanks

[@JohnSulu14]

Two orders of 75 New Flyer XN40s are coming (one for this year and the other for next year).

[@MWTransitVids]

Yep I already know

[@LVTR-kr3rz]

What is the range of the numbers for the second one? Starting as of 3300-3374 or 3275-3349 in next year 2020?

[@MWTransitVids]

Genesis BH500 I’m guess they will start form 3275-3349

[@LVTR-kr3rz]

What buses are the replacements on those Suburban seating Orion VII CNG's 2701-2730? Perhaps 3275-3304? Or will they be numbered as of 3301-3330 with the same Suburban seats?

[@dodge1515]

I think WMATA is done with Suburban seated buses. The 5A is slated for elimination like in a year or 2 anyway. Until then, they just use regular XN40s for the 5A once the last of the Orion VII OG CNGs retire in 2020.

[@justrico4029]

Let’s not forget about the B30 unless WMATA doesn’t want to send Orion Vii buses into Baltimore Maryland.

[@dodge1515]

@@justrico4029 In order for that to happen, the B30 would have to be transferred from Landover depot to Bladensburg depot, and the #2700s would have to get transferred from FMR depot to Bladensburg, all of which I don't see happening (atleast not for the B30). The B30 is doing just fine with the 2006 D40LFRs.

[@justrico4029]

Well they also have Nabi40BRT’s which I suggest should have luggage racks and the MetroExtra paint following their midlife overhaul

[@charlesnguyen186]

What buses are gonna replace the 30 foot Orion VIIs?

[@MWTransitVids]

So far they haven’t order any 30-35 ft buses to replace they yet
