At the moment there are only three buses wrapped: Aurora, Joliet, Wilbus. They are redoing the wraps to cover-up the rear grill area to get rid of the Pace "P" and paint the front of some of the buses to match the original scheme and not have the blue front. Melvin 6360 is the wrapped bus! How surprising! I rode it last month and it was not wrapped yet, I did make videos of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rode it last month and it was not wrapped yet, I did make videos of it. That makes it just four of the wrapped or soon-to-be-wrapped Pace buses that are not 30-foot EZ Riders. In the case of three of those (North, West and South), they do not currently run EZ Riders at all. Northwest has two buses that are to be wrapped, one of which is an EZ Rider. And all four of the wrapped 40-footers are the Axesses (CNG in the case of South). West is currently the only garage that's running a transit (as opposed to a coach) bus from someone other than ElDorado - but they decided to wrap an Axess rather than a NABI because the remaining NABIs are slated for retirement within a year or so.

Melvin Wonderful. My last gripe is with those windows, but I don't know if all those agencies used the same bus, so hopefully it'll be different across the board.

BusHunter Posted May 8, 2019 Report Share Posted May 8, 2019 I wonder why they just didnt get wraps for the front. That why I said the north shore bus looked good. The Heritage one not so good. This should be interesting. I think the sides dont look bad you almost get a feel of a fishbowl. Dont like the 2 different sized windows. Would be hilarious if they put the rear vent on there on a wrap and put the tail. To bad they couldnt marry the lights together and use the actual brake lights as part of the wrap. That would be funny if they did the front. I'm interested to see the new look!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 6360 is still not wrapped. I would like it wrapped by the end of June, and hope to get videos of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mel bernero Posted June 7, 2019 Report Share Posted June 7, 2019 Pace 15500 has been wrapped for South Suburban Safeway. But instead of red and cream, Pace used red and white. Looks horrible. Photo from Pace Facebook page. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally (and probably because I don't know what the original scheme looked like), it doesn't look that bad, except the roof fins. Is there no way they could've wrapped the roof fins?

chicagocubs6323 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 West Division finally wrapped one of their El Dorados! I caught it on the 301 minutes ago but unfortunately since I was driving on Roosevelt I only got a glance of it and couldn't see the bus number. Be on the lookout for it!

I guess it looks alright. I wish they had put the red around the front like the original. It has been updated with red on the front as you suggested. However, they also put red instead of white around the destination sign. I’ll try to get a picture Tuesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel bernero Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Two of my friends happened to photograph two of the Pace Heritage wraps. Don Ellison photographed Pace 6770 in Waukegan. Joe Goryl photographed Pace 2825 at Midway. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyerMCI Posted June 22, 2019 Report Share Posted June 22, 2019 Now, these wraps look so much better than what we've seen previously, especially 2825, but the decision to stick to realistic windows is baffling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet, we have photo evidence that those were the buses Pace eventually did wrap. Therefore it is unlikely for West Division's bus to be any other than 6360.
