Helman700 Posted September 29, 2009 Share #1 Posted September 29, 2009 I would be interested to learn whether and how your local system numbers it's vehicles and whether there is any discernible pattern to it. Below are a few articles about vehicle numbering, I would venture a guess that the predominant theme would be basing it on year purchased or order if there are frequently many in the same year, perhaps vehicle type and then of course a final number to differentiate from each other. Are there any other methods? http://dctransit.info/96 http://www.pittsburghcitypaper.ws/gyrobase/Content?oid=oid%3A27572 http://www.lifeinkorea.com/information/trans/seoul-trans.cfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nycbusfan Posted November 3, 2009 Share #3 Posted November 3, 2009 In NYC They just number the buses based on what is avalible. Suffolk County however is a different story. 9600's=1996 Gillig Phantom 9700's=1997 Gillig Phantom 9900's=1999 Orion V 2000's=2000 Gillig Phantom 5000's=2005 Gillig Phantom 8000's=2008 Gillig BRT. There is also an order of Orion VII NG's coming in next year so I'm guessing they will use the 1000's for those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
