I guess pace didn't want to put up the expense to fix If you are able to zoom in, the fire damage has made a mark on the top of the rear end and appears to have destroyed the right side of the bus which appears to have been more severe than the angle of the bus seen in the picture. There’s also a burn scar next to the rear fleet number. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So total loss it is to pace Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was the first photo where I actually saw what the fire damage did to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted Tuesday at 03:24 AM Report Share Posted Tuesday at 03:24 AM 6368 often don’t show up on the map and is a frequent ghost bus. This bus was running ahead of schedule and now I have to wait thirty minutes for the next bus. The bus tracker is an essential tool especially for when it gets super cold just like tonight when it’s below zero. It sure is a problem that needs to be addressed that pace does not want to spend their time doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, only 711 and 715 run routes from there. 715 runs 3 buses/day while 711 runs anywhere from 1-3 buses depending on time of day. Seems odd to ultimately have 3 spares there unless either there's a bus in worse shape than realized or something bigger is brewing that requires more buses. Looks like 2611 appears to be permanent for now, MV Batavia has only 6 active buses right now, and 3 more are OOS, so when they are not using one of the five regular buses they will use 2611 to make up for it.

Funny thing is, I physically saw 2812 the other day. Hadn't seen that bus in months, at least not on 715. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
