How does a public transit bus get it's number?

Asked by LeopardGecko (1237points) December 14th, 2009

I’ve always wondered this as they seem as if they are completely done at random. Except for a few buses that have their numbers based on the major street they head down.

Here in Chicago they are mostly random, except, like you describe, on the South Side, where east-west streets are numbered and many bus numbers match the street.
