Prevost becomes a Pope

Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Fri May 9 15:14:01 2025

It must be some vehicle.

Is there any relation?

Maybe they can use a new corporate saying, something like "The pope of bus manufacturers" or something to that effect.

Glad the pope's birth name wasn't Gillig. Or Van Hool.

Mack would be a good when. An old slang would be revived.

You know that Prevost makes long-distance coaches in Ste.-Claire, Quebec. The bus family does not pronouce the st and the stress is on the o.

Pace bus route 348 gives hourly service on Indiana Avenue, Dolton, passing a half-block from the pope's long-ago family home at 212 East 148th Place. I was surprised to realize that the east-west divide even this far south is at State Street.

I just came across a quirk of the numbering of buses in the Chicago Pace fleet. The organization now omits the number 13 as the last two digits!

"The bus family does not pronouce the st and the stress is on the o."

So it makes the same sound as Pope. Another coincidence?
