andrethebusman Posted May 30, 2010 Report Share Posted May 30, 2010 Few corrections to PACE roster: Pace has had a thing about "13" numbers over the years. 8713 was the last one. So there is no 2513, no 2613, no 2713, etc. There are 130 2600's. 1st batch was 102 buses (2600-2612, 2613-2702). 2nd batch was 40, 2703-2712, 2714-2743. Orcer was for 222, so 80 to go. These supposedly will be 35-foot instead of 30 foot. Old buses actually redone in RTA/Pace colors: Safeway: 603, 40 of 701-755 (one destroyed prior to rebuild, 14 not redone and scrapped). 33 later to CTA. Nortran 401-474 - most, but not all, repainted PACE. 162 and 166 (5304's) were repainted also Elgin - 1040-1043, 1051-1053, 1061-1067 Wilmette 761-765 (later at Waukegan) West Towns 801-832 - 5 repainted, 25 fully rebuilt, 1 scrapped, 1 not repainted or redone Suburban Transit - 146-165 19 of 20 repainted Suburban Transit 5301's and 5303's were never operated under PACE. When 146-165 came in 1974, the older bowls were relgated to charter and school work only. None of Joliet's were ever redone. Also as trivia, Joliet Mass Transit District was NOT a mas transit district at all, but a City of Joliet department! MTD was never voted on.

I had asked about them on ChicagoBus around December when they were already in service/delivered: http://forum.chicagobus.org/topic/1732-new...dpost__p__24887 Thanks for the updates, the former fleet number range to year was a bit off compared to this one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what do you call something? Year code is "2010" but actual is in December 2009. Since in most cases, delivery dates are not readily available, I go by year code to determine year.

I always go by when they're delivered but as you said delivery dates aren't always available. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
