Busjack Posted July 4 Report Share Posted July 4 Shows what's messed up in the process: Chicago Tribune: Labor and disability advocates at odds over future of Chicago-area paratransit. Apparently part of the "Labor" RTA bill, the Teamsters representing employees of the paratransit contractors wanted some provision to address the complaint that the Rideshare Access Program"is a way for Pace to outsource union work to gig drivers." Notwithstanding the system is going broke. s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busfan2847 Posted July 17 Report Share Posted July 17 Saw a new Coach & Equip paratransit vehicle, 25204, in Arlington Heights on Tuesday. Are they starting this batch at 25201? I cannot believe there are already 200 of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will be interesting is what numbers will be used for the Gillig BEBs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, that makes sense. I had forgot that as they haven't had 11 seaters since 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
