Worcester Regional Transit Authority (WRTA) Buses Gone?
Has anyone heard the WRTA buses on the Worcester Trunked system? They used to be on 856.2625 with a PL of 110.9. I checked 854.4375 which was used by the WRTA for elder vans and heard nothing.
Wonder if they moved to one of the Regional Rentals.
Worcesters Contracted School buses are likely UHF TRBO [is it still Durham ?]
I was recently sent 452.3875 CC: 9 SL: 1 and TG: 1223901 [last 4 digits of the Bus RID is the Bus #]
Some PVT Calls and they cover a wide swatch of Worcester County [Hubbardston, Charlton, Templeton, Rutland and Dudley]
452.3875 returns to APPLIED COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES
the wiki only has the old Analog Boston info

Van Pool was still using Low Band Repeaters of recent monitoring.
Nice to see Low Band still in use.

That was part of the deal when they stopped paying for police details on the busses. They have conventional 800 radios that are tied into the trunk system on the emergency interop channel to reach police dispatchers. They don't use that channel for day to day operations.
I listened to that freq this afternoon. It's a van service only. No mention of busses. Most of the locations I've heard were Charlton Dudley area

So the Quest for WRTA continues. Wiki updated

I think the quest is ended. They are not analog or digital anywhere in the spectrum I can find and i've been looking for years.
As I said before I believe all their comms are via their GPS/AVL I found this .pdf of WRTA advisory board minutes from 2012
There was a complaint about no radios in new vans and it was reported they had the same system as the buses and the weakest link is Charter, the local cable tv, phone and internet provider. So i'm 95% sure they use their GPS/AVL to communicate for day to day operations.
