BusHunter Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 If you haven't noticed by now, there has been alot of swapping going on this weekend, mostly with 77th buses. Here's a few #6450 - #6458 are now at Archer again. #1312 is currently running the #20 according to Bustracker. I also spotted #1317 yesterday on the #20. Also 77th has gained some buses #1909 appears on Bustracker for the #79 right now, also #1907 was on yesterday's #6. Then also there are the new #1000's deliveries there. I spotted #1951 on I think the #4. It was making that familier turn at Mich/South Water with no passengers. Strangly enough with a #36 on the destination and no run box on at all. I thought at first it may have been out for a test, but it had a regular operator driving it as opposed to a mechanic. Back to the changes also #6711 - #6709 went back to Fg from Archer where they were lucky if they were there 2 weeks. Also #1432 appears now on the #11 on Bustracker. A chicago run? The only problem is that it was on the #36 yesterday as well. Lastly now 77th has a few #4000's now from 103rd. Quote

I saw 1433 on #155 Devon this morning heading to school. Quote
trainman8119 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. O yeah, fares went up January 1st. I guess they can afford to waste some money again !!!!! Gotta love that executive planning. Quote
BusHunter Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Posted January 5, 2009 I agree that there is alot of swapping. I saw 1433 on #155 Devon this morning heading to school. That bus has always been at NP. Probably we will see alot of transfers from 77th in the coming weeks mostly Novas departing and NF's coming, to Trainman's delight. :lol: Quote
jajuan Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 This explains why I spotted 4028 in service on the 6 this morning. Bustracker also shows 4024 and 4026 on this route today as well. Quote

I could've sworn I saw it on a Chicago route a few weeks back, but maybe it wasn't it. Quote
Busjack Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 There was also cta5555's post that they [Chicago] got 1309-1319 Also, greenstreet had the post that the odds in the 1430s except 1433 went to Chicago; 1433 stayed at NP, at least as of then. Any word on why 103 all the sudden had a surplus, or were there corresponding moves in? Quote

Any word on why 103 all the sudden had a surplus, or were there corresponding moves in? I saw 1433 on Route 70 a little more than a month ago, and again on Route 76 about a week after that. So i think it went to Chicago as well. Quote

renardo870 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 I saw 4024 on the 6 this morning @ Jackson/State abt 625a...and 1949 on the 4 Cottage Grove yesterday NB @ 81st/Cottage Grove. Quote

Any word on why 103 all the sudden had a surplus, or were there corresponding moves in? Well they have been having a surplus ever since they had no TMC's to replace and they were receiving #4000's and #1000's. That's why the #1438 - #1462 evens exit from there. But this past week alot of NF #1000's are coming in rapidly. As far as I know we are up to #1955 now. That's at least 7 more surplus this week. If they really had problems with #4000's at 103rd why not check them out now at 77th. Most likely #1000's will keep coming in rapidly now until we reach #2029 in order to finish up by Feb 2009. BTW, both #1955 and #1953 were running back to back on the #2 yesterday #1953's sign said 77th Garage and #1955's was still saying that Chicago was my kind of town. Perhaps there was a shortage or need to put #1951 - 55 odds out in a hurry without setting up there signs. They just lost 20 buses to Archer and Chicago and with the #4000's coming in they still most likely needed the #1950's. Quote
cta_44499_FG Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Interestingly enough.......1036 and 6010 (yes, 6010) made their way to North Park yesterday afternoon. 6010 was in service pulling out to LSD via Foster. Not sure of the route. It was parked at the garage as of last nite. Quote

Not sure of the route. It was parked at the garage as of last nite. #1016 was on the #22 also yesterday. I thought it may have been 1 odd bus so I didn't mention it. So there are others there too...

Maybe it was 1016, I could be wrong but 6010 was definite because I saw it in service...that definitely caught me off guard Quote
renardo870 Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Maybe it was 1016, I could be wrong but 6010 was definite because I saw it in service...that definitely caught me off guard Is the 3-track service officially over, because some of those buses are from chicago?!! Quote
Busjack Posted January 6, 2009 Report Posted January 6, 2009 Is the 3-track service officially over, because some of those buses are from chicago?!! See T8H's response to this question. Quote
renardo870 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 See T8H's response to this question. thanks busjack..i see that they will monitor ridership on those 3 track bus routes for a time. Quote
BusHunter Posted January 7, 2009 Author Report Posted January 7, 2009 Maybe it was 1016, I could be wrong but 6010 was definite because I saw it in service...that definitely caught me off guard #6030 was on the #36 yesterday. Quote
cta5658 Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 my guess is why #6030 was on the #36 because chicago ave might have done a fill in on the #36 Quote
jajuan Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 my guess is why #6030 was on the #36 because chicago ave might have done a fill in on the #36 So are we saying Chicago acquired another bus from Kedzie? From last reports in the 6000s thread, 6030 was a Kedzie bus as of Dec. 22. Quote
cta_44499_FG Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 my guess is why #6030 was on the #36 because chicago ave might have done a fill in on the #36 I did say earlier in the post that North Park had 6010. Perhaps now that is also present. Quote
Busjack Posted January 7, 2009 Report Posted January 7, 2009 I did say earlier in the post that North Park had 6010. Perhaps now that is also present. So, now NP is getting Flxs to replace 5800s? Or for some other reason? Although stranger things have happened. ;) Quote
