Route 19 & 20 was a pearl city route as well back in the early 2000s. But since Route 11 is running Saturday & Sunday (Today) with Pearl city buses it is now considered as Pearl City division route. And Route 60 & 65 KALIHI is running on those Routes Saturday & Sunday with Pearl City, other than Pearl City itself running on Saturday & Sunday.

Thanks! I always wondered about Route 11. Pearl City makes a logical home for it, since revenue service begins earlier on the outer end of the line. Throughout the biz (not necessarily at TheBus/OTS...) there's many instances of "portable" routes like this. If one division is suddenly stretched thin, a route can bounce to another division without too much preparation. On the other side of the world, look to Toronto for one example... where TTC's 6 - Bay bus route isn't squarely in any one division's territory -- and it tends to pick up and move divisions several times a year. In other words, I won't be shocked if Route 11 returns to Kalihi at some point... and then moves to Pearl City again at some point after that!

ieko Posted December 3, 2019 Report Share Posted December 3, 2019 Yes, all 30ft buses are now at Kalihi. There was no need for them to be at Pearl City in regards to street constraints. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which buses are now used on routes 414 and 416 at Kapolei? 3. Are there more Gillig LF 35ft. buses numbered above 64 or 29ft. buses numbered above 23? 4. Finally, which buses are used on route 651 and the 670-series of Kailua locals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 29-foot buses go up only to 23, but eight more are on order. They will most likely replace Phantoms 40-49 at Kalihi. The Kapolei and Kailua routes are served by both 35 and 40-foot buses.

Alika.valdez1234 Posted December 8, 2019 Report Share Posted December 8, 2019 Well it’s Pearl City’s turn to show off their buses on Christmas parade. Last year was Kalihi so it’s now Pearl City! They always take turns (somewhat). I can’t tell what exactly unit number this is but I know it’s a 67x series because the first number and the second number is covered halfway but the third number is hard to tell since the number appears to be nearly hidden all the way down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess 677. The City Lights bus normally is the highest number from the most recent delivery of 40-foot vehicles to the featured garage. As far as new orders, it seems the city is still waiting for 40-foot Gillig electric buses to pass Altoona testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ieko Posted December 10, 2019 Report Share Posted December 10, 2019 A Gillig electric bus will be testing Friday until next Thursday. The best place to find it is if you hang around town near downtown / Ala Moana. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alika.valdez1234 Posted January 13, 2020 Report Share Posted January 13, 2020 My bus driver friend told me that Route C used to be out of Kalihi before I wasn’t living in Hawaii in that time. Does anyone know if that true and anyone has an explanation why it’s not from Kalihi anymore? I asked him why it wasn’t from Kalihi anymore He told me that the buses would run out of fuel and would be far to tow the buses back to Kalihi. But frankly I’d say I agree from my bus driver friend it would to far the buses to run out of fuel from Kalihi, so that’s why Route C is from Pearl City. But I just want to know any theories/guess and if this is true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall, when the New Flyer buses were delivered in 1999 they were transitioning to Pearl City from the old Halawa bus facility and Kalihi had the maintenance capabilities for the 60' buses at their yard. It was after Pearl City was established that they split the articulated fleet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alika.valdez1234 Posted February 5, 2020 Report Share Posted February 5, 2020 Forgot to update you guys about this During my one week vacation last week to the Philippines, so far I have seen buses running under Partas which bus 642 at its rest stop at Romulo Blvd. Tarlac State University Hostel in Tarlac , bus 644 passing Lacson St. near Sm San Lazaro in Sta. Cruz, Metro Manila heading to Mabalacat in Pampanga, and suprisingly an addition I have seen more Honolulu buses that were sold to a Partas so far I’ve seen three buses around, bus 777 & 790 at Del Pilar Rd in Candon City as bus 777 heading to Pagudpud and 790 not in service, and bus 778 passing by Urbiztondo Beach along MacArthur Highway heading to its last stop in La Union. But so far no buses 641 & 643 around. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad to hear that they will gain many more miles (kilometers) in their next life...with the right maintenance they'll surely last for a long time.
