I think 103rd was the last to have them and then when flyers hit 103rd it was a wrap and 103rd had basically a new fleet till the goof up at 74th bought #6000 flxibles back till their retirement.

They just sat in that little corner on a just in case thing. Everything going into the red line shared the same run and interlined more heavily back then I definitely would’ve seen one either there or over by the lake. artic sightings on the other hand got reaaaaaaal interesting for a brief time since 103rd took all of 77ths ?

busfan2847 Posted January 11, 2022 Report Share Posted January 11, 2022 Probably due to driver shortage. CTA weekday service changes e-mail had this item:- "A note about bus service: Some bus service may be running with delays: The availability of staff is being impacted by COVID-19.

Only 600-605 have been active and they've been around since late 2019 going into 2020. The rest were delivered and have sat dormant around the Shops getting moved every now and then.
