And those destination signs? In addition to their rear signs being larger than the Luminator Horizons and Spectras they had been receiving, the Gilligs' signs are from Hanover.

According to Hanover's description, , are they monochrome (amber) or RGB? 

After making abig deal about getting Spectra signs for Pulse and everything thereafter, thevideos of the rear of the Pulse Miwaukee Gillig buses sure don't look like they are RGB.

At least proves that the buses have RGB signs.

26533 number checks out that the 2024 No/Low grant was for 33 buses. But, until now, nothing was said that that included 35' buses.

They're up to 26514 as far as potential active buses, a few more made their debut this past Saturday.

Currently in service on the 524.  Still has the new bus smell.

 

I wonder if the extra 5 feet is having an effect on the driver.  She is being very cautious. 

No one seems to want to use the rear doors.  

 

Maybe Pace will get around to putting something other than "Pace" and a picture of a Pulse bus on the new display screens.

FV had 35' 2000s and 6600s, but that was about 20 years ago. I'm sure none of those drivers is still around.🙃

Gillig has 29' buses, but apparently not hybrids nor on the Washington contract.

So far in active service, it's only up to 26516 (out this morning).  

Also, if it's 2024 Lo/No, that's 33 buses. We know where 26533 was 😅, and there are pictures of BEBs around 26538 or so.
