MetroLINK9013 Posted September 25, 2007 Report Posted September 25, 2007 The IPTA (Illinois Public Transportatioin Association) Conference was in Moline today. Spotted a New Pace Para-Transit bus demoing. Looks sharp! James MetroLINK 9013 Quote
Busjack Posted September 26, 2007 Report Posted September 26, 2007 Very interesting. Besides the prominent logo strip, it has a right truck door (instead of the passenger door being there), black masking around the windows, and a more streamlined cap over the cab. No indication of fleet number, however. Quote
pace2322 Posted October 8, 2007 Report Posted October 8, 2007 Theres five of then at South Holland as of today. No numbers on them. Quote
Busjack Posted October 11, 2007 Report Posted October 11, 2007 The Pace budget indicates on page 15 (page 19 of the pdf) that they are Champion Crusaders for local/municipal based services (caption under the picture). Quote
Busjack Posted February 8, 2008 Report Posted February 8, 2008 Pace just sent out an e-mail announcement that the first of these are in Rich Township, with another 28 to be deployed this year. The advantage supposedly is that they are bigger than a van, but smaller than the usual paratransit vehicle. As an aside, I also remember when Rich Twp. was considered rich. Quote
Busjack Posted March 13, 2008 Report Posted March 13, 2008 Also received Pace e-mails that they are also in Joliet and Wheeling. So I guess people can check it out at various extremities of the region. Quote
