sw4400 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I think they will use the same paint livery that they had on the CompoBus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geneking7320 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I would prefer either the Compobus livery or something completely different. How about a white bus with a large version of the CTA logo on the side (the new logo without the speedlines). Gene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTA 9537 Posted October 8, 2005 Report Share Posted October 8, 2005 I think they might use the compo bus livery. But nobdy knows for sure I kind of like that scheme. It really would be nice to see them use the classic two tone green and white but that is just a dream. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetroShadow Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I was going to say the new livery, but since I'm not as impressed by it as I should, perhaps they should do a new look compobus/albino livery: Red or Blue (on the top), and Silver (on the bottom)... ...but thats just it. My other suggestion is that they revert to what the LACMTA is doing: color coding the buses (blue-express, red-metrorapid, orange-local, etc.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buslover88 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I think I would like CTA's Scheme to be Orange (Main Color), Blue and Sliver because the Current Scheme is too Old. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman8119 Posted October 10, 2005 Report Share Posted October 10, 2005 I would like the CTA to go back to their original logo with the CTA in a circle with the Metropolitan Transit swoosh along with the color scheme from the 60's of the dark green and white. I remember the "suggestion bus" roaming around the city, soliciting suggestions for what the public wanted in the 1000 series buses that were being built at the time. I remember thinking about an all blue bus. Looking at the new Pace color schemes I ask myself, what was I thinking. Going back, to me, would represent something that we probably will never see again...buses every 2-3 minutes in rush hour, 7-9 in off peak..skip stop trains, conductors making for a faster train trip, Sunday supertransfers, heck transfers in general...ahhhhh...time to get out of fantasy land and come back to real time !!!! Anyway, dark green and white. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buslist Posted October 12, 2005 Report Share Posted October 12, 2005 OK lets have some fun. Since the auto co.s are into retro looking cars (PT Cruiser, Mini, and whatever the Chevy thing is) and the BNSF loco paint scheme is basicly a throw-back to the GN what about a retro scheme for the CTA? Here's CTA (nee CMC) 1431, date and location unknown, but what would this scheme look like on a 40LF. Or better yet why make someone look closely at a logo to figure out where you're at, spell out where you are i.e. CTA 1111 at Soldier Field, Paul Hunnell photo, splash this on a 40LF, is there enough room?
