Here's some photos from Wednesday, September 30th:
The bus that started it all...New Flyer 1000:

1341 waits to turn at a light with both Popeyes & Subway share space:

Flxible 6075 laying over on Route 72 near Lincoln Park:

6026 driving through Lincoln Park with the midst of fall leaves changing:

1371 cruising down converted North Side apartments on one of two heavy lines:

6182 works as a driver shuttle for the Chicago Cubs game:

6167 leaving Jefferson Park CTA Station in the midst of the afternoon rush hour:

Now for PACE:
2359, a 1993 Orion I still puffing along:

PACE operates 161 Orion VIs in active service built between 2000 to 2004. 6128 is seen leaving on Route 270, one of the heavier PACE routes:

Lastly, PACE's largest fleet comes from NABI, which has delivered upwards of 300 buses to the system since 1998; 6204 is one of 100+ that was ordered in 2003 and is seen on Chicago's South Side:
