twyztdmynd Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 Here's a new post for 714 Naperville.... Lots of shots of 2766. Quote
Busjack Posted July 18, 2010 Report Posted July 18, 2010 All the quick turns in Wheaton make me dizzy. I'm sure no one can tell or cares how it gets to Roosevelt Rd. At 0:28 I see rotjohn's point about the rear. The cover has two sets of vent perforations not found on any of the others. I wonder why. Of course, it isn't the same as 2010, either. Quote
twyztdmynd Posted July 31, 2010 Author Report Posted July 31, 2010 New Vids for routes.... 379 : 715 : Happy viewing :D Quote
Busjack Posted July 31, 2010 Report Posted July 31, 2010 After pulling down the 15 Videos menu, it appears that the name of the soccer stadium was changed to Teeota Park on that video. Quote
twyztdmynd Posted August 26, 2010 Author Report Posted August 26, 2010 Pace Route 349... Rather a dull route to do a vid on. Agree? Quote
Busjack Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 Pace Route 349... Rather a dull route to do a vid on. Agree? http://www.youtube.c...8AU&feature=sub I agree that it reinforces my view that the route from the Harvey TC to Blue Island is not scenic. Also, the way the most of the routes were chosen for videos, Pace will show that it is in real trouble if it does one for 352 or 290. For that matter, if lack of ridership is a criterion, I'm surprised they haven't done most North Shore and close by Northwest division routes. At least the view out the window would be more picturesque (the bus turns on Prospect Street in Park Ridge, where Hillary Rodham first hung out, then turns on Oakton near the boyhood home of Callista Flockhart's husband, and ends at Golf Mill, near that French emporium, J.C. Pennee). Heck, they could have at least done 364, which goes down 155th Street, also known as Tom Dreesen Blvd. Quote
Guest Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 Pace Route 349... Rather a dull route to do a vid on. Agree? It is no doubt very dull route to make a video of, but I have to say I like the bus footage they included which kinda makes up for it. Quote
Busjack Posted August 26, 2010 Report Posted August 26, 2010 It is no doubt very dull route to make a video of, but I have to say I like the bus footage they included which kinda makes up for it. The inference from that, also from Webwatch and a couple of times I tooled down to Harvey was that this became a 35 foot bus route. Anyone from South to confirm whether that works? Quote
twyztdmynd Posted August 27, 2010 Author Report Posted August 27, 2010 While on topic, what routes would we like to see on YouTube? Hey Mr Pace Guy.... Here's my two cents. 1. 570 and 572... our Lake County College buses. An effort to show students remind students Pace is there for them. (i.e. 714) 2. 696... See above 3. 331... A Service to Brookfield Zoo Quote

See above 696 is already there. I had previously commented that there were too many turns in the Rolling Meadows area to make sense of it. Of course, the beginning of the video is already obsolete.

twyztdmynd Posted August 28, 2010 Author Report Posted August 28, 2010 696 is already there. Sorry... My Oversight :o Quote
Busjack Posted August 28, 2010 Report Posted August 28, 2010 I noticed that the Wrigley Field Express one says that "after the boys in blue win the game, the buses will be ready and waiting for passengers..." Thus, in the normal situation, do the passengers walk home? :lol: 2 Quote

twyztdmynd Posted September 19, 2010 Author Report Posted September 19, 2010 Pace Chicago "Car Free Day". Somehow... I don't think this will be a big hit. It's this monday and the first I've heard of it. Quote
twyztdmynd Posted October 9, 2010 Author Report Posted October 9, 2010 Time for a new episode... This week.. Route 542 - Bluff City After viewing... you may be a little dizzy. :blink: Quote
Guest Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 Time for a new episode... This week.. Route 542 - Bluff City After viewing... you may be a little dizzy. Well thats three minutes and thirty seconds of my life Ill never get back! Boring!!! Quote
Busjack Posted October 9, 2010 Report Posted October 9, 2010 I see on the PaceSuburbanBus homepage that one of our people requested, and got, 349. Someone else asked for 352 and 353. 353 would be as dizzying as the last two (the Elgin one is compounded by a somewhat lack of familiarity with Elgin, and well as tacking the school trip at the end). However, if Pace were to do those two for the reason it does most (because the route is in trouble), we would really be in trouble. Quote

twyztdmynd Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Posted January 11, 2011 Just notice something for myself maybe you've seen it too. I went to the website PaceBus and under maps and schedules I clicked Service Types , There I saw the picture of the Coach USA coach doing route 855. I then went to the learn more link. There they have links to the express route, And clicking on 855, scrolling down, There was the YouTube video describing the route. I just thought this was neat. Quote

Busjack Posted February 8, 2011 Report Posted February 8, 2011 Pace video on College of Lake County. Has a underlying movie trailer look to it. http://www.youtube.c...h?v=RJ_X5NXv8Dw I'm not sure why the film noir music was needed before :55. One would really have to scare me to take the bus to Oakton Community College (and, BTW, for those of you who can't figure out my double meanings, the slam may reflect on OCC rather than the 208 bus). Also, at about :56 appears to be 6661, still with the wrap for Provena Hospital in Elgin. Quote

Busjack Posted February 9, 2011 Report Posted February 9, 2011 That's definitely 6661. Wasn't that bus moved from Elgin a few years ago? One of the last ones when Elgin got the ElDorados, and doing a search on this forum indicates about mid 2009. Quote
