Well so far today they've migrated to the 36,X49 and 155.

At least the 155 is a short route close to NP.   The other two got a long way from home.

Yeah for sure.I'm surprised they haven't ended up on the 11,49B,96 and 155 more frequently since they're fairly close to NP and short as well.

They need to get the tracker fixed on that bus. Making me feel old school having to chase it and guess where it's at.

Ye and I need to get that bus there's 7 NP novas I need to get and I don't wanna skip out on 6846 just because of the broken tracker. Makes me wonder if 6854 is also active at North Park and 6770 is active at FG.

I don’t recall it returning but I was wondering if it even did return as a ghost bus, since I never saw it in person or maths

I remember when they started to retire more of the #6400s in early 2015. #6402 & #6404 and #6632 were converted into work buses they had the white “NOT IN SERVICE” lettering where the signs were and I miss those I believe #6632 is scrapped because it is no where to be found if it’s labeled as a work bus on the retirement list. At least Olive Harvey College still has them, soon enough I have a feeling that #6539 and #6728 will die off from Fresh Moves like the Flxibles did when they bought three of them from CTA but those died around 2014 I think. #6129 is the only one in the boneyard dead. The other two Flxibles might still be at 106th forgot the other street along with a couple of school buses from one of the posts and pictures what I saw about them before I decided to join here.

Welp that leaves us down to #6783 as the only WB, on the #6400s retirement list I did see #6632 labeled as a WB as well, it’s probably already scrapped I haven’t heard from since then.

A lot of these runs are just round trips in some cases. Plus with the new pick a lot the novas are used for trippers anyways so they're mainly used for school runs or just regular trippers during the rush. A 20 minute difference isn't that big of a deal though.
