Manny018 Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 How come they’re making routes like the 9, 53, 54, 56, 77 all nova 7900s? Is it to run a uniform fleet or are they the most reliable for those routes? Also I’ve noticed the 80 running mostly new flyers with some nova 7900s and nova 8325s and rarely running 6400s.

fg.mark Posted May 14, 2019 Report Share Posted May 14, 2019 The 9, X9, 53, and 54 are always 7900-series Nova. The 77 and 56 should be but never are because FG does not have enough equipment. There are always a few Flyer on 77 and on 56 and sometimes even an old Nova. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted May 15, 2019 Report Share Posted May 15, 2019 #1430 is the only bus i've seen for nearly a year now that gets the nod to run on Ashland most of the time, I've never understood why though. Somes times #1497 pops up every other few weeks but #1430 runs usually every run except night - owl runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcmetro Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 I believe that initially the TSP equipment was only on Novas, but was also added to some Flyers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon CVPI Posted May 16, 2019 Report Share Posted May 16, 2019 4198 is or was at Chicago when I went through about an hour ago it was sitting next to I believe 1949 in the front of the garage probably there from training someone cuz C already had the artics but the system took them away for some reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
