Sam92 Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 So is it safe to say the Novas hold the new record for longest bus series? Before it was the 4400s and 5300s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ever since #6860’s fire erupted it caused a slight failure regards of having the #6400s in service throughout the day except the weekends. I guess those can relax while we wait for the #8350s. At least they made 21 years of service could they slightly survive 22? We shall find out of how fast the #8350s arrive I believe Nova has some of them out of 100 probably built.

I do hope the #6400s can see a little bit of spring 2022 before they start biting the dust when the base order arrives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before it was the 4400s and 5300s. Yeah the last #5300 aka #5643 retired in early January of 2009 which would have been close to 18 years and the novas have surpassed that mark already given that the remaining #6600s are 2000 models. They've made 21 years so far while the #67/6800s are about 20 years old now. Weren't the remaining MAN #4000s 20 years old when they finally got retired in 2004? I figure the old Fishbowls and GMC were the longest running series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the second option of the #8350s to replace the first half of them, the retirement of the #1000s will most likely take a while versus the slow delivery of the #8350s.

Exactly & didn't get rehabbed all of the other buses did well the 5300's I dont think those ever got a rehab thats why when dooms day came they knocked the rest of those off but they could have kept the 60's in play but they only reactivated a few for 3 for a short time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spring 08 made retirements quicker but last 5300 was off the road for sure by January 2009 going by rosters and the site.The doomsday was in feb 2010 and that strictly retired the remaining 280 6000s plus closed archer due to old age. Chicago getting 6000s was from cta being dumb enough to give 74th all 6000s which resulted in constant failures so 103rd and C gave them some flyers in exchange for some flxibles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add to that the Ashland buses that ran till 3am on top of the Owls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
