umbers-in-the-700s/ today which says that Green line routes are in the
700 range because trolley bus routes were reserved route numbers 500-699.

When I was a lad:

1-299: red buses
300-399: green buses in the north
400-499: green buses dahn sarf
500-699: had been trolleybuses, with 500-519 reused for "Red Arrows"
700-799: Green Line (longer-distance express services)
