Yea sometimes control tell you if you can make it to your layover spot or they will break doen at layover then they will bring you a new bus it aint like back in the day when the driver just stayed with the bus & be towed back a garage worker now brings you another bus to continue your run 1 Quote

If its a.m. rush, should be easier to get a bus deadheading back to 193rd or a bus that would be stored downtown to swap. Quote

Just corrected bro you had said 193rd when you ment 103rd but yea it is a long way I a decent drive also just not as long as 3 is but yea it may have been 1 stored down there Quote
Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted January 22, 2021 Report Posted January 22, 2021 1029 has been delayed at Central and Altgeld facing NB for minutes now. it's follower bus 6869 has just passed it and the next bus behind (1024) will pass it too. It just went off the tracker and that probably means it's broken down when follow buses pass it when it's stuck for a while. Quote
Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted January 23, 2021 Report Posted January 23, 2021 Flip dot nova 6684 broke down on Harlem around 1:40 pm today. I saw it at 2:20 pm while riding 6826. Rear Engine door closed but there were two vans around it probably fixing up the bus. As of now there’s no replacement bus for that run and that bus’s block is before 6826 so passengers has to wait in the cold for 30 minutes. Luckily the 6826 driver was fast and we didn’t pick up too much people. 6684 is also a unit with the unusual transmission like 6710 Quote

Today we have 3 6400s and 3 1000s no newer novas. The old novas are getting more and more common on saturdays and last Saturday at 5pm there were 5 of them active and the only other bus was 8257. One of the novas (6724) replaced 1043 as well Quote

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted February 16, 2021 Report Posted February 16, 2021 8302 broke down on the 152 earlier today around 10am https://twitter.com/garpo3000/status/1361730172496601098/photo/1 Quote
Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted March 14, 2021 Report Posted March 14, 2021 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. Quote
