Busjack Posted February 27, 2014 Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 Since it isn't Random CTA and not Miscellaneous: Trib Local just had a story that they had to evacuate a Pace 364 bus due to a biohazard because someone drank two beers and then had to take a leak. Apparently a long ride from Harvey to Orland Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has to be more to this story because it's not adding up well to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Archie Bunker says, you can't buy beer, can only rent it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted February 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Surprised that doesn't happen that often on the Red and Blue Lines... It appears to depend on what bodily discharge is available, #1 or #2. The one you suggested a sign about has a more olfactory effect, unless someone ate asparagus with their beer.* Also, I presume they were 24 oz. bottles. I don't know where one would get 24 oz. cans, other than Foster's, which leaves the question what happens on Australian buses. But I guess this guy wasn't willing to create "yellow snow" and wait a half hour for the next bus. __________ *BTW, does the "P" on some buses indicate something other than the run number?

Busjack Posted April 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2014 ....Also, as a result of numerous detours on Torrence Ave. and Ave. O coming back, I passed Adelman's, and there are a lot of retired Pace buses visible from 106th St. News stories today that some auto theft and chop shop ring was busted at Adelman's (e.g. CBS2). I don't think that the export market was interested in the Orion Is, though. Also, before that there was a commercial about some woman on a "Transit Authority" bus (looked like a high floor Neoplan or Ikarus) who needed some medication for overactive bladder. From the top of this topic, apparently not necessary on Pace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmon757 Posted April 4, 2014 Report Share Posted April 4, 2014 Well, #6241 is not alone anymore with the logo change. South Garage now have some with that design. I've spotted #6165 #6189 #6215 #6217 and #6219 with it @ 95th Red Line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman8119 Posted April 5, 2014 Report Share Posted April 5, 2014 There are some at North (I saw one, believe it was 6682). 6633 was on the 272 tonight with the scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those have horrible seating and leg room, not to mention the design for assistance for those in wheelchairs. Most if not all 6000's have this.

ctrabs74 Posted August 19, 2014 Report Share Posted August 19, 2014 This implies to all Orion VI's. A lot of transit agencies have taken those seats out of service because of liability concerns as most older buses do not have a "wall" (for lack of a better term) to prevent passengers from falling into a wheelchair passenger. San Francisco was one of the first cities to do this: http://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/Muni-eliminates-some-bus-seats-in-latest-5511461.php Those seats have been like that for a few weeks now (I've had more than my fill of Orion VIs; thank you Northwest).

In fact, the 6200 articulated buses did exactly that (although I took that spot and stood on the 8X to Balboa) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railwaymodeler Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 This implies to all Orion VI's. The Gillig buses here in Kenosha still have that seat that folds down right behind the wheelchair area priority seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That makes no sense. (not that I'm saying your wrong) How could a passenger fall into a wheelchair passenger if that seat is needed for the wheelchair passenger?

(not that I'm saying your wrong) How could a passenger fall into a wheelchair passenger if that seat is needed for the wheelchair passenger? Heavy braking could be an issue, if you're a standee. Of course, if you're not holding onto the bar then it should be no problem. But if you're sitting in the forward facing seat adjacent, you can still run your knee into the metal barrier.

I must be missing something here cause it still don't make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
