Please identify these CSERN TG's (busses)

Had a couple of submissions lately... and I need usage, or best guess based on listening for the following submission:

new talkgroup (Fastrak dispatch 5071)(5072)(5073)(5074)(5075) all new operation

Here's some stuff on the Fastrak system

CTfastrak.com - HOME

CTfastrak is Connecticut's bus rapid transit (BRT) solution to improve mobility and manage congestion in the I-84 New Britain to Hartford corridor. BRT is an innovative, high capacity, cost-effective public transit solution that can significantly improve travel times through heavily-congested areas by using dedicated transit guideways or lanes to avoid traffic and quickly transport passengers to their destinations. By operating in a permanent, dedicated bus-only guideway, while allowing buses to enter and depart the line, the CTfastrak system offers the speed of a rail system with the flexibility of bus service to meet transit demand and provide passengers convenient point-to-point service to their destinations.

Well, yeah

More like, is TG 5xxx bus dispatch, bus Maintence, road work, etc etc

I figured, but at some point, someone was going to ask what it was. The only one I've had pop up so far on unitrunker down here was 5071. Signal on any of the sites at my house is garbage so getting any audio is hit and miss

They were calling them "Fastrak 1", Fastrak 2" etc (only logged 5071 thru 5705) when they were testing. It appears that they marked them differently from the other divisions where I logged aliases of Bus 1, Bus 2, Supervisor, Maintenance, Facilities, etc.

I did not log ATG (50x0) or Emergency (50x9) like the other CTTransit divisions.

Fastrak 1 is by far the busiest TG for that division (7000 hits vs 18 for FT3)

The 40xx series TGs were used on the CSP 800MHz system (multiply by 16 for the Uniden numbers). They then added 1000 to each number when they made the move to 700MHz. I get SEAT over 700MHz every now and then and they come over TGs 506x. I don't know how they will fix the New Haven/Stamford numbering if they move over to all 700 (unless they just wait until the systems are merged)

Also, several years ago during testing, the difference between Bus 1 & Bus 2 were described as below:
Bus 1, audio coming through the speaker
Bus 2, audio coming through the handset only (vast majority of traffic is here)

chris

So seat on the system now will that stay on 800 MHz wish that all move to the cps it be better for the scanners

You can't lock it out??

Couple of probable errors in the list:
SEAT PARA 1 4067 likely 4066
SEAT PARA 2 4057 not 4057, likely 4067

WTBY PARA 1 5027 likely 5026
WTBY PARA 2 5037 not 5037, likely 5027

I have the above,

Waterbury PARA 1 is talking right now on the 700 TG 5027

Figured it was strange having the Waterbury channel stuck in the New Britain range and Para 2 before Para 1.
Maybe whoever set that template up tied one on the night before.
