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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erin Mishkin Jr. 69 Report post Posted Friday at 07:12 PM 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Erin Mishkin Jr. 69 Report post Posted 8 hours ago 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
