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.

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!

I could be wrong but I don't think there are 200  of them.   I think they start numbering at 200.  What will be interesting is what numbers will be used for the Gillig BEBs.

+Usually XX200s are 11 passenger vehicles, XX000s are 15 passenger, but Pace has been inconsistent before (i.e 16400 community vehicles but 20400 40 ft. buses).

Thanks, that makes sense. I had forgot that as they haven't had 11 seaters since 2014.
