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:
