It may be permanent. Incidentally, 1561 migrated from 77th to FG. As I type, it's operating on Lawrence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John7 Posted October 21, 2019 Report Share Posted October 21, 2019 1026 is 74th's bus not 77th. Its just operating as route 2 which is normally operated by 77th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not at all unusual for buses from other garages to fill 77th St. runs after being serviced at the South Shops.That's especially true during the PM rush.

There must have been an ongoing shortage of buses at 77th. They had recently been getting day-loans from 103rd. Maybe more 77th NFs are being sidelined for repairs. It's been a few years since the NFs were rehabbed, so they might be starting to show their age. It seems as if the ones at 77th get the heaviest use. Before the transfer, FG had nearly 270 units. Even with the old Novas, they had normally been able to manage with 255 or 260. I'm not saying that FG didn't need them. But 77th probably needed them more. Could be wrong, but I think the move is probably long-term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There could be a problem with the NFs getting properly maintained with all of the 4000's and 4300's popping up there most recently for service which could be hampering the ratio to maintain there own fleet properly.

Being familiar with operations at 77th, you'd know much better than I would, YBL. (Ex-operator here, '69 to '76; FG and later NP.) Your explanation seems to make sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.NewFlyer1051 Posted October 24, 2019 Report Share Posted October 24, 2019 I think the word for 1374-1380 is they will come back to FG once CPS gets back in session or 77th is repairing couple of its buses so they use FG’s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.NewFlyer1051 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 1374-1379 haven’t been out today might have moved back to FG 1380 still kickin it at 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.NewFlyer1051 Posted October 28, 2019 Report Share Posted October 28, 2019 1380 took a trip to 74th while 1374-1379 still kickin at 7 also there are no buses operating from CPS schools or runs operating school days so this can be why 1374-1380 took a trip out south Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indigofoundue74 Posted October 29, 2019 Report Share Posted October 29, 2019 1206 was at 74th last night but everything has restored to its original condition. @Mr.NewFlyer1051 It is not necessary to post about every loan or how a 1000 sounds. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John7 Posted October 30, 2019 Report Share Posted October 30, 2019 Didn't someone say that 1342 caught fire? So if it did then that would explain why the seats were changed. Bus kinda smells like something burned and its making a wierd noise. Nonetheless i like these seats better than the garbage plastic seats they got on the novas and on some of the trains and the seats shown is not hard plastic.
