Also interesting is the "caution, bus is turning " announcement, considering all of the Pace Eldorago Axxess buses had them since delivery.  Actually,  I think the announcement originally was "Caution, look both ways!".  

Now was the announcement in Mr CTA'S voice or another voice?  

I suppose I need to ride a 77th route other than the 1, 51, or 52A to listen for those announcements.

I never got on a bus with that haven't been on the bus in a while but it sounds like a neat feature

Pace also has a female voice.  I wonder when this will go systemwide.  I would think this would be included in Pace's New Flyers when they are delivered.   Perhaps CTA'S 6400 series won't get this feature since those buses are next to be retired.

Did you notice whether they were playing on exterior announcement systems?

Was on 1630 or 31 last night & seen it only had 151k did something happened to that bus for it to be out of service for a while with that low miles for how old it is 

Actually it's quite a few buses throughout each garage with those low kind of miles on it. With so many New Flyers a few of them still slip through the cracks of high usage. I had a bus not too long with 93k on it lol.
