BusHunter Posted August 9, 2016 Report Posted August 9, 2016 Something for the Samsung J7 wth forums. Man #6623 is screwed on the #606. Packed wb to the front door and they were still getting on at the east terminal. They got the tollway all screwed up. 3 toll gates are closed for construction. Rosemont cta just looked like one big waiting spot no buses in the whole terminal. Theres about 4 on I-90. Quote
Pace831 Posted August 10, 2016 Report Posted August 10, 2016 Got more pictures from Chandler. This time I brought a camera with a much better zoom, so I didn't even have to leave the sidewalk to see what was in the garage in back. 2 Quote
Busjack Posted August 11, 2016 Report Posted August 11, 2016 6485 on 610 on Webwatch now. Hour later: Also 6486. Quote

Don't tailgate, or that could happen to you! Actually you can see in the first and second pics that the truck is parked on the other side of 6501. Quote

Now that you mention it, its cab is behind the gray SRX. But it takes a lot of magnification to pick that up. Quote
BusHunter Posted August 12, 2016 Report Posted August 12, 2016 Hmm #6487 is out this morning currently at prairie stone. Quote
MetroShadow Posted August 15, 2016 Report Posted August 15, 2016 6509 [suburban model] is in Kansas City for the Transit Midwest Conference (Source: instagram's story feature). 1 Quote
Busjack Posted August 15, 2016 Report Posted August 15, 2016 WebWatch now shows 6492 and 6495 on 600, which would be the first noted instances on that route. 6486, 6488, and 6491 on 610. 6487 is showing up on 606. Quote

Pace831 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Posted September 15, 2016 It seems Chandler didn't like me taking pictures, because they put up a fence. But their fence isn't high enough to block the bus numbers, including 6518. So much for 6509 being the last of the new buses! 1 Quote

They have their rights, but darn, one can't tell if it is a suburban or transit. Quote

It does show the roof AC unit is blue instead of the usual white. There were at least two transits on the property, but those might just be older ones that were in for repair. I couldn't read the numbers and wasn't going to attempt pictures due to employees working nearby. Quote
Pace831 Posted September 15, 2016 Report Posted September 15, 2016 6489 and 6500 now in service : Quote
west towns Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 Doubt they put up a fence just for you. Maybe the bus with blue roof ac is a pulse bus? Quote

I bet they did. When we put stuff on here it goes viral. Next time bring a ladder or a really tall truck, like an expedition or yukon or something!! Still though he got the job done, congrats!! The only other place they could go with #6518 is sw, so the idea that's it's a Pulse bus sounds accurate. Only 1 thing though, it seems to be missing the "Pace bus.com Pulse" unless it doesn't have that, the Pulse bus picture is just a rendering. Quote

It is definitely possible my picture taking contributed to the fence being installed. When I took the pictures I would have been in plain view of anyone looking out the office window, but I couldn't tell if anyone is watching me from inside because the windows are very darkly tinted. I was there twice in the same day, and then again a week later, which could certainly arouse suspicion. If that theory is true it's more likely they were afraid I was a potential thief scoping the place out than if they saw the pictures here and objected to them. My camera (not the one I used today) has a really good zoom, so I could probably shoot from across the street and the numbers would still be legible. I doubt the Pulse buses will be delivered with the wraps already on, Pace will probably put them on when the start of service is closer. Quote

Especially since the I-90 buses were delivered plain, even though the literature now indicates that they will be wrapped. Nobody is going to put on a wrap before making a 2000 mile trip, including through the desert. I tried to get an official picture of 6323 to compare the air conditioner to the Pulse mockup, but the http://www.eldorado-ca.com/ site is down, with a database error. Quote
west towns Posted September 16, 2016 Report Posted September 16, 2016 Pace831 Your famous to get a fence in your honor. Get a drone that will solve some of the issues and create even more. Or they could have made a fan viewing area like have in homewood if they knew there was demand could charge to visit Now only if they would think like that Quote
