That was the only 6400 I could spot over there by south shops. #8327 was over there and I believe #8332. I guess new buses break down too. We have a 19 bus by us that just dies with several idiot light errors. Wont restart. Went to the mechanics went back out to only have it happen again. Seems to be running good now. At least it was dying close to the yard. Was going to ask the forum members, is there any idea why Archer/Neva terminal has jersey barriers in the middle of the turnaround and segregates the Pace bus from CTA? The CTA bus seems to come out on Neva now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So they don't fight over spots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CTA can live without them along with FG. Now if things were pre-pandemic they would of been gone by last year or at least down to a smaller margin. [color=#8b0000] Are you seated?

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted May 19, 2021 Report Share Posted May 19, 2021 As of 4pm, same 3 buses 6861 (77), 6869 (56), 6877 (91) are now out. Sounds like it's just these 3 for now running out on afternoon runs, but things might change on Monday but we'll find out. Also I'm thinking they won't run this weekend yet 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 So after making a trip to FG today, these are the buses currently active for the PM rush runs. #6755,#6861,#6865,#6869,#6877, and #6882. I counted two more that were in the active lot of other buses but couldn't get there numbers so in total there is eight all together. As far as the ones at Kedzie are concerned there fate has yet to be determined. Non-Active in the 3rd lot #6687,#6706,#6770,#6871 and two more un-readable numbers.

I'mma say those would be 6875 and 6868 in the third yard but i don't know honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
