#4069 brokedown at Ford City tonight #1321 brokedown just east of 79th and Stony Island.

Dang I saw 4069 yesterday morning not thinking it was gonna break down. And 1321 wow that bus hasn't been out for even 2 weeks after being released from the boneyard and already broke. Both buses were recently in the shops too as you mentioned.  Also, I saw tow truck #250 going north on Michigan yesterday from the south side around Washington probably going to tow another broken bus. That's a lot of broken down buses yesterday

Yesterday I was riding 8285 on the 78 and while we was going southbound on Elston, I heard a warning alarm coming from the front of the bus that sounded like there was an issue with the bus. The bus driver continued driving until he pulled over on Montrose & Springfield. The driver got out his cell phone and then exited his cab area of the bus. He said 8285 might be broken so he had to call in control. About 3 minutes later, he finished the call and control said the bus was okay to move again. The bus didn’t have any problems after that but I got off a few blocks later at Kimball.

Never saw it on my camera but you guys saw it for long enough now I guess I can trust you lol since mine was in pure daytime and yours was a sighting in easier to see conditions

Hopefully they'll fix that so blue smoke won't emit again
