BusOps Posted March 4, 2021 Report Share Posted March 4, 2021 Rumor has it that CTA is pulling all the remaining 6400s off the street tonight and putting them out of service. They’re moving buses to Forest Glen from other garages to cover the lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted March 5, 2021 Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 Well some have made it down to 77th this morning, I counted at least 7 or 8 in the bays. If inspections go well i'm positive we might use them before they're returned back to FG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is one cooked seat and it's getting close to their clientele!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the ones at third yard at FG are those being inspected too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
