Or the 1300 series? The usual reason doesn't fly since people still
boarded 1113, 1213, 1413, 1513, 1613 and 1713. And frankly, since 1613,
1713, Twin Cities 1300, etc. are still with us, there is nothing unlucky
about them. The largely devout Roman-Catholic and Lutheran city of
Milwaukee, Wisconsin had 20 TDH 4511s and 80 TDH 5105s numbered in the
1300 series and no one has ever found a complaint on record from the
public that they wouldn't board a transit vehicle with the number "13" on
it. Heck, Pittsburgh had a Route 13!
