The whole RideOn system was designed to be a feeder to and complement the existing MetroBus system. The Metro cruises the main drags and deliberately ends most of its routes at Metrorail stops. Intermodal, doncha know. RideOn goes back into the neighborhoods, all the little side streets. They stop every other block. NONE of them will be long legged. The great majority are 24 footers and that one's a 40 so there's always the exception to the rule, but I just don't see them on the higher speed limited access roads. Something to think about.

Dude- I occasionally see some stuff in DC I'm interested in. Gas and beer on me if you ever can check out a bus for me.

I'd probably avoid anything that district sells. Looks like a FL bus!

Thought you might be all over it from looks alone. It looks like a VW Thing and Blue Bird had a ugly bastard child. What's with that hood?

Its a P30. I bid on a CLEAN, nice 99 last month. But I don't bid on junk thats been sitting around.
For what it would take to get that thing going I could buy a REAL nice bus.
