MetroExtra vs. Express is not what's important to me. I think whoever decided to repaint the buses a few years ago missed one important mark:

Red buses for local routes; blue buses for express routes... except they painted the FRONT of the buses gray and have the BACK of the buses blue or red. So, someone waiting at a bus stop only sees a gray bus arriving. What is the point of the color difference?

Some blue buses have colored destination signs (why spend extra money on that!?!) while other blue have the standard amber destination signs.

The MetroExtra buses used on the 79 are blue in front (as pictured) and gray in the rear. This is at least a visible cue as a bus approaches... not after you exit.

I just hope WMATA is not paying a premium for multi-colored destination signs and various colors of buses.
