ctaboy Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Many times I've been the NABI bus running 6 Jackson Park Express,but on weekends I saw Novas and New Flyers running that route,and yesterday I was at 103rd Garage waiting for a NABI to run 14 Jeffery Express,and all I saw were New Flyers,so how come NABI buses won't operate on weekends.

santran Posted January 12, 2009 Report Share Posted January 12, 2009 Due to the snowstorm there were no Artics out at all this past weekend. That includes all garages. As most know the artics tend to jacknife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

santran Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 As of 10pm there are only 2 NABI's left on the 146 and 147. The rest are 40 or 60 ft. NF. They are realy trying to keep the NABI's in during heavy snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 WOULD YOU RATHER RIDE A NEW FLYER OR A NABI ? I'd rather, if I was waiting on a corner in a snow storm, have a bus that showed up nearly on time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwantae Posted January 14, 2009 Report Share Posted January 14, 2009 WOULD YOU RATHER RIDE A NEW FLYER OR A NABI ? New Flyer 4000 for me, they are more safer and more confortable. They are better as MAN Artics lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cta5300 Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 i was on HW 90 94 and i spotted a NF going on the HW with a destination sign 14 Jeffery Express so Nabi don't run on weekends Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlinerider Posted January 17, 2009 Report Share Posted January 17, 2009 i was on HW 90 94 and i spotted a NF going on the HW with a destination sign 14 Jeffery Express so Nabi don't run on weekends Many are operating on the 147 right now...

cta5300 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 never mind my last post i saw a couple of Nabi on State running 146 147 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trainman8119 Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 For every NABI on the 146 or 147 today, there were 3 New Flyer Hybrids. I was suprised to see so many on the 146, since 145 and 146 have been pretty much 40 footers on the weekends as of late. 147 has had a great amount of hybrids since they have made there appearance at NP. Saw as high as 4061 out there today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santran Posted January 18, 2009 Report Share Posted January 18, 2009 Originaly NP had 80 NABI's in stock. With 25 New Flyers in service now I am thinking that the NABI count is droping, at least not being used at the present. And the 146 is always artics even on the weekends, except a 40 foot bus here and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redlinerider Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I was on 7619 (i think) Tuesday morning and around 8:30 or so on LSD the bus stalled for a good 3-4 minutes. It started up again and later stalled a bit further down LSD. Finally it picks up again and we get off and the bus stalls at Mich/Delaware again, i don't know how long but by the time I got off and walked down to Superior it still had not gone down Michigan...
