trainman8119 Posted March 5, 2009 Report Share Posted March 5, 2009 Or.... in their second lives they can be converted into ice cream trucks and troll the streets of Humboldt Park, all in Good Humor! Funny how you mention ice cream trucks, I have always refered to these as just that...not as much as the bus it self, although it seems the right size, but it's that putrid paint color. I will never understand why CTA felt they had to paint these things different...CTA has standard livery colors, I think all of the fleet should be painted the same. They are more like old Tastee Freeze or Mr Softee ice cream trucks than Good Humors though (at least the classic ones as opposed to the newer ones). And also, is it my imagination or is it that the FG Optimas naturally look as though someone is pushing down on the back end from the top. It seems as though the back end is lower than the front end, and the one I rode on a while ago (now) felt like I was on a roller coaster headed uphill. When I go through Hyde Park, daily, and look at the Archer Opties they look normal and level. Anyone know what gives ????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
