If C has 100 81xxs why not fit one of those? Why bring a bus from another garage to fit it and not send it back to that garage? Quote

It did run with the monitors in it from 77th on the 8A during the morning rush 30th November. I guess they decided to trial the buses on the 20 after 8011 was fitted. There are more than one of them so the rest must be from C allocation. Quote

Oh ok I thought it was cuz I seen it on Chicago Ave around the first of the year so I thought it might have been a loan I see kedize slow on changing the stickers it's still sporting C after all this time lol Quote
Shannon CVPI Posted January 28, 2019 Report Posted January 28, 2019 What is the point or bus swapping when they get the same modtin return like when C send the 13& 14's to 77 & 74 for some 18's from NP & K Quote
YoungBusLover Posted January 31, 2019 Report Posted January 31, 2019 I found this to be quite odd today since there isn't any high volume of people out today. Could #1838 be a loaner to 74th since Chicago has #8011? Quote

With the lack of volume of people or lack of equippme6uesterday, a 40ft bus was substituted in place of an artic. Even if CPS canceled classes yesterday, CTA may not have had advanced enough warning to cancel the tripperrs. Quote

This is rare once again. I think it's either a loaner or will be permanent while CTA is aiming for the new Nova 8325's to be in service. Quote

It be buses from all the garages there when they have a training session I was there filming a YouTube video over the summer and noticed buses lined up and a worker told be they was about to start so I had to finish filming on the side of the garage Quote
Johnny 5 Posted February 6, 2019 Report Posted February 6, 2019 Bus #1991 is on the #84 Peterson right now. So rare. Quote

I'm sure other stores have them cheap. Quote

I'm sure other stores have them cheap. Strange feeling that some people won't think that far ahead and that's what they're counting on. If it works for airports and amtrak, it'll probably work for CTA, especially since places to charge your phone on the platform get sparse the farther away from the loop you get. Quote
ajm522 Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 1681 and 1687 on 77th routes. Probably just checked out whatever they had on the grounds. Quote
wordguy Posted February 14, 2019 Report Posted February 14, 2019 It's not unusual for PM rush hour runs from 77th Street to be filled with buses just released from the South Shops. Quote
