Busjack Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 2650 is now at North Shore in service. Also 2687 is at south holland. In posts 3793 and 3800 you had it assigned to Niles, but not yet delivered. Unless North Shore is temporarily running a bus painted for Niles, please try to get the story straight. (To be fair, post 3998 said 2649.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RIPTA42 Posted February 13, 2007 Report Share Posted February 13, 2007 Was it delivered today? It's a great day for it. Any of them being moved to Highland Park during PM rush today? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pace2322 Posted February 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Yea it was , Yea its a great day to work today and have 5 355s get to Lansing at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RIPTA42 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 No, it isn't a great day unless a band new bus is involved in a 37-vehicle pileup. Five 355s together? What, did y'all stop and get coffee or something? There's no excuse for this! Read the RedEye sometime; passengers think the bus should be on time especially when it's cold outside!

Busjack Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Five 355s together?It depends on the time of day. If it was going from Chicago to Lansing, they could have been all stuck on the Dan Ryan. Also, the south suburbs got the heavier snowfall. Of course, I wasn't there.... (the last time I rode the 355 was when 700s and 8200s were on the route, and we had to walk over the state line from Hammond into Calumet City).

RIPTA42 Posted February 14, 2007 Report Share Posted February 14, 2007 Oh, I'm not surprised at all; I saw four Foster buses platooning last night. Heck, even the 93 was bunching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pace2322 Posted February 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2007 2651 and 2652 are in service at North Shore now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted February 19, 2007 Report Share Posted February 19, 2007 2651 and 2652 are in service at North Shore now.Seen today on 7 and 627 Shuttle Bugs respectively. A few other notes:632 and 634 are usually El Dorados, were 2285 and 2507 today, so still some to be replaced. The question is how many of the Shuttle Bugs will continue to be operated with full size buses.631 is now Discover Wolters Klr instead of Discover and CCH. Seems like Pace can reprogram a sign pretty quickly when a corporate sponsor's name changes, but not to make the signs consistent (i.e. Shuttle Bug 7 was 7 and not 639).

Busjack Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Today saw a 1920 pulling into the Niles Public Library parking lot and stopping at the Library door. While I told the person I had dropped off to take it home, I can understand how there could be a problem with the 2600s being too big for that application.

Busjack Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Today's observations: 2637 in Highland Park and 2650 and 2653 at Lake Cook. (I withdraw the insinuation in post 4022). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pace2322 Posted March 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 2697 is now at South Holland. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 2697 is now at South Holland.5 more to go, confirming that there were more than the base contract of 96. Let us know if it gets to 2703, which would be more than press reports, but not unexpected from Pace (i.e they announced only 42 6600s; also, at that time, 6228 was unexpected, because the order was 71 and at that time the last Orion VI was 6155, as 6156-6161 didn't appear until 2004). Also, they may get all 102 by March 2007, but probably won't get them on the road by then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pace2322 Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 West got 2666 Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Apparently not being deployed in strict numerical order, as Highland Park still has a couple of 6600s, and North Shore some 2500s (take that, you compulsives ). A totally irrelevant aside: If Pace doesn't have bus numbers ending in 13 for superstitious reasons, how about 2666 (or even 6666 for that matter)? :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Was out shopping and saw 2650 on Route 422 from Northbrook Court at 5:10 p.m. Something I envisioned seeing, but didn't believe would happen, because it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pace2322 Posted March 17, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Well the end is here. 2700 and 2701 are at south holland. So now that there are all here i cant waint to see who gets what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Latest sighting: 2638 on 471 and 2655 on 634. And, according to the Pace homepage, 2699 is running in Springfield. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 2639 in HP. 6684 is still in HP, but due to the accident to 2635 probably will be there a while. Does anyone know the status of 2635? Being repaired, or with the fishes with 6173? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pace2322 Posted March 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 2635 is bye bye. Also 2702 is here to i forgot about that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTA 9537 Posted March 25, 2007 Report Share Posted March 25, 2007 I saw 2652 on the 210 friday I am suprised to see it running on that route. They will use the 2600s on regular routes and use the REAL buses orions and classics on the shuttle bugs that does not make sense to me.
