Pulse (Milwaukee Avenue Route)

[artthouwill]

I've been using the Pulse Milwaukee a few times lately.  Bu like the frequency of the service.   I love the speed of the route from Jefferson Park to Golf Mill.  I don't mind the purple interior lighting.  I like the TV monitors showing the next station. 

My only complaint is the full body wrap.  I get the Pulse wrap, but I'm sure the word PULSE can fit on the body as well as above the windows.  The window wrappings are not only ugly and unnecessary,  it makes it very difficult to see outside from inside the bus.  Fortunately my travel doesn't require me to see any visible cuts as to when I need to get off.  I hope they consider these things when they decide to start Pulse Dempster.

To be honest I think New Flyers would look better on Pulse routes.  Pace should order 20 more New Flyers and put them in Pulse service.

Slightly related, I always wondered what the point of wrapping buses in game day schemes was for if they weren't going to use those buses for games. Half the Pace buses out there when I was at soldier field last month were pulse buses. I'm sure that purple lighting was a welcome comfort after a home loss and a traffic filled ride home. 🤣

On Sunday, I went out here and got some photographs of both Pulse routes. I wound up at Chasers bar & grill, which seemingly is open until 4:00 am. So I have more images of Milwaukee Pulse than Dempster Pulse (but I do have the other). Here are those:

Yes, it is nearly impossible to get a photograph of anything outside the bus through the Pulse wrap [c.v.]. However, on my return trip, the bus in Pulse service (6432) was not wrapped in Pulse purple. 

That is a tantalizing poster advert for Pulse service. 🤩
