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

It’s a female voice

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.

Now that you say that yes I did because I was right next to the driver and then all you hear is that I was like that must be new or old

[Shannon CVPI]

Seen 1055 on the 157 earlier just found it on the tracker to have proof but it's still has the 3 sticker in & it's been back at C for like 4-5 months now guess C forgot to change the sticker again in it cuz 1054 has a C sticker again

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.

Back in the day, the odometer was in the center of the right rear wheel well .  On the dash is the most logical place.

I remember this days the flexs had then & did the 6400's have em when they first started seeing action

[Mr.NewFlyer1051]

didn’t know where to ask this but does anyone have any announcements for the 79th bus 

for ex when the announcement says 79th red line or 79th and wenworth 

[indigofoundue74]

Bruh @Mr.NewFlyer1051 if you need announcements, how about you go to Ford City and record all the announcement's for the 79?
