jajuan Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 does Madison ever use Flxibles. becasue i have been checking bus tracker and there had only been new flyers poppin up at every stop. What few 5300s that were equipped with Bustracker equipment were sighted on the 20 months ago, and those were rare and far in between at that point. They're very likely not to be seen at all any more on any route in the next few days because there are very few left likely less than 10. They may even be gone by the end of the weekend. 6000s are more likely to be seen on weekdays. Chicago like Kedzie tends to use its 6000s far less on weekends/holidays than weekdays if at all. Also keep in mind that Chicago only has 40 6000 series buses, so there are going to be days that some routes won't have them or have very few. It's similar with 12 Roosevelt. Kedzie only has 32 6000s so some weekdays the 12 may have 5 of them. On others, the route is lucky to have one not that I'm complaining since Kedzie probably has the most beat up 6000s out of those left on the roster.

T8H5307A Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 i always see 1000 series on Madison but i never see a flxible Apparently you weren't looking at Bus Tracker on December 10, because I had 6074 on my first half! A lot of the 6000's don't show up on the network, but they are out there, but not as common as the 1000's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
