You are comparing apples and oranges.   Each CTA rail line has a NAME which happens to be a  color.  Each Metra Line has a NAME like BNSF or North Central.   If you are boarding at Union Station,  you look for the name to see which track it boards on.  Each CTA and Pace bus route has a ROUTE NUMBER AND NAME  i.e 63 63rd or 270 Milwaukee.  So even if it is a pulse, or BRT, it should come with a route number, like P270 or 270X, with a name like Milwaukee Pulse.  Remember the Pulse service will expand next to Dempster with eyes toward Harlem, Halsted, and 95th in the future.

All Pace routes (so far) have a number, even if it is not used in Pace’s marketing materials. The Schaumburg Trolley is 905, and all the On Demands are numbered as well (mostly in the 590’s). His question is whether Pulse routes will similarly have a unique number, which hasn’t been identified yet.

Dempster is also slated to have Pulse service eventually.   Dempster and Milwaukee cross each other

  There has to be some way to identify these routes other than Milwaukee Pulse or Dempstet Pulse.  I guess we will get some idea soon.

It’ll be pulse. Routes externally don’t necessarily need a number for it to matter. There will likely be an internal number that planners and analysts will use, but to the usual eye, it’s Pulse.
