More Bus Moves

8343-8349 are not showing up on tracker for Forest Glen. 1052-1058 are mostly not showing up presently(just two of them). So we might see some more swap action soon, unless FG is keeping these 6 in for some reason, likewise 103rd with the New Flyers(based on the lack of activity with both these groups of buses).

 

NOTE: 8346 still has yet to be seen on tracker at all. This either has a nonfunctional tracker or is still yet to be in service and is at 77th.

1054 is #115, 1055 $ 1057 #15, and 1058 #108 all currently??. But I do believe 8343-49 will migrate south soon.

1400 1889 1895 1922 P>FG?? 1889 is on 77 Belmont and 1895 on 86 

Probably fg is short buses. What do they expect,? Take away new buses give them not so new buses and have them still run really old buses. 18 years is a long time without a rehab.

4198 on the 77. Too late to be a school trip, I think?

It's a Kedzie run created by CTA last year by using artics from Kedzie that would have otherwise deadheading down Lake Shore Drive into downtown and along the Ike back to the garage after completing a final trip on the 156 that terminated at Belmont/Sheridan.

There is still work being done at 95th, I doubt they will keep the current arrangement once it is finished. 

The reduced service to 95th has really made the Red Line on the South Side unreliable, infrequent (upwards of 10 mins between trains at the peak 8 am and 5 pm hours), and crowded. The few times I have taken a 63/Ashland Red Line in the peak direction, it has been almost empty - so I suspect that the extra service there hasn't improved ridership at all.

Hmm. Would there have been a difference if Red went to West 63rd only?
