BusHunter Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 There was a bus broke down on the tri state yesterday. Looked like an outbound #395 to UPS. The minuteman were working on it and everyone was still on the bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted July 7, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2020 6298 (YAY) is probably having an issue at Lake & Austin probably, the engine is running and the bus operator is on the phone but no triangle present. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily. That's the layover for the 309, 313, and 315. Driver may have been off the bus on a personal call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted July 21, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2020 20425 probably broke down at Lake and Humphrey, I was on the opposite side of the street so I didn’t hear the engine running, and it had the wrong code sign. Headlights and hazards are on, both doors are open. I just rode 20425 on the 307 on Sunday too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what layovers are, but it was staying on the west side of Lake and Humphrey. I thought it was broken but actually it’s on the 315 now so it probably was a layover a block early, but I noticed it sitting for about 10 mins.

BusHunter Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 Spotted Pace #6374 going for a drive over by Cummins diesel. So another Pace bus is getting work most likely on the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think these buses are 8 going on 9 years old. West got the first batch and currently NW gas the first batch of suburbans. I rode it suburban recently on the 606 and it was an oven on that bus. Even though the FTA life of the buses is 12 years, Pace's history has been to run these buses 17 to 18 years, which would mean we're stuck with these Eldorados for another decade. I'd hope the CNGs and electrics would display the oldest Axxess buses version we will see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace seems to be on the fast track when it comes to environmentally friendly buses. I dont think they will be buying too many more diesels except for mcis. They will probably want to push its diesels out im wondering where the 6400s and 6700s are going anyway. All they can really displace is a few eldorkos in the city unless they want to give Elgin some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first batch of suburbans (6377-6391) arrived between 5/2013 and 8/2013 and are allocated to River Division at Elgin or East Dundee. The 606 has been joint between River and NW since June 2011 and since the 2016 service improvements most journeys are provided by River.

Was working UPS one day and discovered #6381 pulling in on the #390. I was like whoa, how many of those do they have? Originally the subarbans came in to do the oakbrook service #888, #877. South got a little over half and river got the rest. When south got the CNGs they lost the suburbans. (#888 was last done by CNGs, I believe). Then they went to river but this was after dundee got the I-90 buses. A couple went to sw, but for a small time river had them all. I guess sw got a few more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
