Assuming to scrap given it's a low numbered unit, but, it did still have it's license plate. An ex DATS bus might be a step up from a van for accommodations in the river valley for you sir. New tow truck? I cant tell what chassis that is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A more recent source gave 37 buses, but, it looks like it will be 45 buses, unless it ends up somewhere in between 37 and 45. As of Wednesday I only saw 1 bus outside of NAPA.

Benton Harper Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 5209 = CHW 0477 I've never seen 5204, but from the others we should be able to extrapolate 5204's plate to be CHW 0482 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T6H-5307N Posted March 30, 2021 Report Share Posted March 30, 2021 5219: Also spotted 5210, 5213, and 5216 in service this week. I'm not sure where the break in body styles is, but 5219 has a centered wheelchair lift as opposed to the one right behind the front doors on 5210.

CPTDB WIKI has now been updated with 5219's license plate. Regarding the lift configurations, please post some right side views of 5204 to 5219 showing us the difference. I spotted 5219 s/b on 97th on Wednesday, and her lift door is just like all the others, just behind the front drivers door.

Hopefully future observation(s) can confirm our findings. Thank you very much for your efforts. Editor's Note: All members are encouraged to post images of the NEW 5200's. CPTDB-WIKI lets everyone see your images. Your consent would be appreciated. Never caught 5219 with a plate, however the first 15 would end at 5218, so maybe they only had 15 plates? 5222 has a plate of CHW 1260, and 5219 has CHW 0646, not enough data to fill in the blanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
