There's supposed to be a diesel order placed sometime later this year to replace the 6400s and the early Flyers. At least that's what I've heard. This is actually a pretty cool idea for CTA!. I wonder why they wouldnt take advantage of such an idea. A money saver in the long run! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

To be totally honest I don't think electric buses can handle Chicago weather 24/7 through all types of Chicago weather Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A money saver in the long run! That idea's been on my mind ever since the 1st time I've heard of CCW. & I totally agree. CTA should look at this option. It would save them a real good chunk.

CTA could probably invest in maybe 20 for starters See how they operate for a year and then depending on the outcome decide or not whether to pursue this option. Either way, I think its worth a look! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
