It's about time. Good bye and good riddance. If anyone spots a hybrid or a restyle on the 92, please let me know. I can only imagine the operators on PA 100 and PA 252 flooring the pedals on the "Southern Refugees."

Route 92 in Frontier is the known place where Eldorados can be commonly found at. Route 139 is now mainly 40 footers based on my recent frequent sightings.
Don't forget the LUCY Loops in University City-you can always count on finding Eldos on them.

Per TransitView:

4554 was on the 92/139 today. The driver of 6015 either loves those ElDos or he's way down on the pecking order to get a decent bus.

4561 and 4656 on the 89.

Can't figure out the 35's buses, because, conveniently enough, it's not on TransitView. I'll bet very few of the ElDos have GPS to enable TransitView tracking.

4566 is on the 35 per TransitView right now

4561 saw its last paying passenger (me) today. It broke down on the 35 and was replaced by 4565 which will be retired later tonight. After this there will be no more Eldorados operating out of Midvale!

Shun me if you must, but one of the main reasons I liked the 89 was that it is a local route that uses this type of bus... Welp RIP Midvales Eldos, now If I wanna ride one, I gotta go to the LUCY...

Looks like our Eldos are done at frontier as far revenue service is concerned
