I may come back home around 2:00 PM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reminds me of now retired Flxible 6201, which had the current logo on the front and the old speedline logo on the sides and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the speedline logo goes good on the older buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 4, 2019 Report Share Posted June 4, 2019 I laugh so hard when I read posts saying "its rare to see an old Nova" Really??? Thats pretty much all we see around Jeff Pk! We see more "old Novas" and NFs than any new Novas! I rarely see any 8349s since CTA only decided to give them 6!!! I have not even ridden on one yet because theyre so few of them up here!

Probably not the only unit because 6706 had it too. And it is so hard to catch those 8325 Series at Forest Glen. I mean WTH? And I'm not surprised u haven't rode one of them yet. And now if you think about it,you is right about those old novas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me think FG is getting more NFs to replace a Nova But old Novas are still very well available I ride into Jeff Pk every day! Rarely do I see an "8325" I see mostly old Novas and lots of NFs.

Guest Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 I ride Belmont often to my doctor in Boystown. Ive seen a mix of 7900s and NFs mainly Ive recalled riding 6400s on there as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shannon CVPI Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 I see 6755 when on the not seen list for over 5 or 10 days but I just saw it on Central and Bloomingdale Thursday morning going north at 8 something in the morning then tonight I was outsouth by 7 & seen it sitting next to 6684 on the 9 when they park them by the gate is it for repairs or to be checked out to see if they still fit for service or retired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny018 Posted June 18, 2019 Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Why is this retirement taking so long? CTA has enough new flyer 1000s and nova 7900s to where buses can be swapped and moved around to retire the old novas. I’m pretty sure every garage has about 15-20 flyers they can send to FG and pull the old novas out of service. I hope one day the old novas fall apart on route like the Nabis did that way CTA has to be forced to pull them out of service. Is it going to hurt to up and pull every nova 6400 out of service? It’s only like 80 buses left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
