I have to laugh because I remember the days when Ride On didn't have buses larger than 30 feet long. I can only imagine the crowding that must have occurred during the rush (although I honestly believe that ridership has been steadily growing over time since those days).More recently, there was always a run on the 15, around 7 or 8PM, that used a 30 foot buses, either a 1989 Gillig (really miss them) or an Orion I (miss those too!). That bus, as you can imagine, was PACKED. I guess that's why Silver Spring got all of those 40 foot Gilligs, which is great! Is the 5 still using minibuses in the evenings and on Sundays? |
