True I rode 6875 and 6877 after they returend they were on the tracker maybe you right it's a ghost bus for now but hopefully they'll the tracker if it's broken

Today I was on a 313.  There was a female passenger that boarded.  She proceeded to the back of the bus and started a cell phone conversation with a lot of cursing.  Not an angry conversation.   Then I heard Mrs Pace make this announcement, :

 

"As a courtesy to other passengers,  Pace asks you to please refrain from using profanity on the bus.,:

 

I had never heard this announcement before

  The female passenger toned down her voice and. I suppose., ended the call..  but she soon started another conversation and started cursing again.   Then he announcement repeated.

The fact that this type of announcement was made had me wondering if the driver can activate certain announcements?

There was one that said to move to the back of the bus that I heard last year so they can do it . They do it at cta too   But in buses only.          

The height of bus 8140 on the rear left seems to be higher than the other wheels on that bus. Suspension probably?

7941 7998 1256 1274 are now temporary loans to 103rd for the week.

Yea I just did the 21 this morning & bruh felt like my bus was finna fall apart

Which bus number was it? Damn Chicago really need to fix all those potholes too before big problems happen

Do they do the same things on the school run routes operated by Fg Only but then fg buses go on different routes.?

Nope it’s most likely just a NP operator with a NP run number specifically designed for Addison I guess

If it was a ghosting bus, I would've seen/caught it by now

So probably down at SS

Did anything happen to 4114? It hasn't ran for like a month or two 

No? Maybe out at SS for maintenance maybe or ghosting bus

I would have to agree to some degree but 7913 is back out once again this morning.

 

Maybe it wasn't a breakdown, sometimes operators may be on fallback at terminals if there relief isnt there.

Oh but based on the block number the bus has been sitting for a while now shut off and there’s no relief at the green line just a quick layover

As long as they're not looking like #7913 then that's a major plus. 

 

The fact that I saw a broken down 8291 today at the green line station shows how easily novas can break down a few hours hours after it sounded normal

8291 broken down at the Harlem green line station. Apparently I rode 8291 four hours before these photos were taken and the bus was working normally. Must’ve had issues when heading to the green line a few hours ago. Third photo taken four hours ago when it was still working .

When you describe it like that I can agree that I wouldn't want any parts of that area either. Once the fall pick gets here I'd hope to see something happen but I doubt it. 

I remember having a brief discussion with one of the maintenance guys last week and he told me that the models that are usually oos the most are the 7900s and the 4000s. I wasn't surprised by that statement one bit. 

Forest glen must be maintaining their 7900 series very well barely any of them end up OOS a lot but do head to Ss from time to time and some break down from time to time too

I took a ride on 1926 this morning on the 77 and this was the first really packed bus I was on. Ye 77 is busy and this is the busiest bus I have been on lol. Got on at Harlem and there was a driver change at Central but the second driver was picking up much more people than the first. Glad to be on a ex-NP 19xx since I missed riding those I last rode on one in 2015. Kinda bummed the heating was up all the way but still was a good ride

ehhhh i forgot those were at SS but what even happened to em?

1446 and 8091 were a part of that crash on Western in May, and 4024 (which I didn't mention but also returned) was a part of the south side stabbing 2 weeks ago.

Idk why no one mentioned this, but 1446 and 8091 are both active again after that crash in the spring. 1446 is on the 63 and 8091 is on the 49

1910 is back on the news, this time someone got stabbed inside the bus. The bus was running on the 50 Damen.

The first time 1910 was featured on the news was when someone was struck by 1910 in 2018. Video is below. No public video for the stabbing incident has been released onto YouTube yet.

Does anyone know why they aren’t using 6770 (though it’s a 67 and not a 68) for service anymore? Or is it secretly in service as a ghost bus?

Yea cuz the way it looms it loiks like the bus was turning

Oh okay luckily the bus didn't get into an actual crash,
