Well, the only ones I've been on are those NYCTA HEVs when they were still operating and those at WMATA. I'm not a big Orion fan, but the WMATA VIs are awesome. |

But it has been a long time since I've been down to DC and Maryland so it probably happened within all that time, haven't been following whats going on with transits down in MD for a while. |

I believe they were add ons to a late Orion delivery(correct me if I am wrong). When they came in they were 5570 and 5571 and MIGHT have had the regular RIDE ON blue paint scheme before being repainted into the green/yellow one. |

Western, Montgomery and Landover run them. Of course the best place to spot one is the Silver Spring Station, where Montgomery and Landover Orion 6s show up. |

I think they had the original CNG scheme that also originally appeared on 5567, 5568, and 5569 (later renumbered to 5997-5999 respectively) with the cloud wrap on the windows. I don't think they ever had the standard blue and white Ride-On scheme. |

I always saw them on the F4.I guess you haven't visited the DC area in the last year or so. The WMATA Orion VI spent most of their years at Landover and Four Mile Run. When FMR rec'd their Orion VII all diesel buses were transferred out. Now the Orion VIs are split almost evenly between Landover, Western and Montgomery (which is where the C2 is assigned). |

They were actually demo's before they came to Ride On. What I do know is 5802 was a Toronto demo. 5801 I heard was the Montreal demo. These were probably some of the first ones Orion built. Ride On has retired them but still sit on our property. |

Also even if they were put in service - would they still work? I won't mind if they were used over some of these hybrids. |
