We will see what happens soon. this isn’t their first rodeo on shifting new equipment as soon as it gets delivered to garage you can put into example the 8325’s FG got em brand new and then got rid of em weeks later to 103rd in exchange for flyers, this just a whole repeat of whatever happened few years back.

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 I wonder how nobody posted this here… All the 1100s that were at Kedzie with the new fare boxes are now assigned to North Park. The 1100s at Chicago remain at Chicago. the ones at North Park are: 1106 1109 1110 1112 1113 1116 1117 1128 1129 1142 1158 1167 1170 1174 1176 and 1194 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungBusLover Posted August 7 Report Share Posted August 7 And just like that #8596 has returned to Kedzie. 😂 Ahh the plot thickens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What surprised me, but I did not think it significant enough to mention it here was that a number of Chicago garage New Flyer buses numbered higher than 1630 also got the new farebox. ("We don't have enough to redo every bus.") (If they're going to be scrapped, why are they getting new equipment?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All of Kedzie’s buses now have new fare boxes. 1106 moved back to Kedzie, so it appears this was a loan to North Park. 1437 and 1797 are in service at Kedzie with new fareboxes.

jajuan Posted August 8 Report Share Posted August 8 I don't think the new farebox says much. As already said, basically all of K's buses have the new fareboxes. Plus I rode 4353 briefly on the 151 this evening (after being switched from a 136 that went out of service at Hollywood to jot back downtown due to being late), and it has the new farebox as well. It's the first NP bus I've seen sporting the new farebox. So it's pretty safe to say the new fareboxes have already begun showing up outside of Chicago buses.

I caught 1769 yesterday with a brand new farebox so I expect most of the north park buses to have new fareboxes by the end of the month.

I guess I should have worded that a bit better and said 4353 is the first NP bus that's been there consistently and the first physical one and not one I heard about that I've seen with the new farebox. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the moment short term assigned to 77th. As far as the #600s they agenda with those are unknown. However they're all sitting in our bay area amongst the rest of the fleet.

I'm sure they will have some of both but maybe not as many as they currently have now. There are two garages that don't have any 8350s with one of them not having any 7900s either. That could possibly change after this week . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a possibility that FG will get elderly New Flyers from any South Side or West Side Garages? Higher 8600s to the 8749 range are expected to stay at FG or relocate somewhere else.

Considering that it got 2 groups of 8350s, at least, I doubt it. Also, you are incorrect, as FG never was all 1000s; its 6400s were replaced with 8230s, 8343s, and 8350s. Meanwhile NP hasn't received any yet. Curb your anxiety. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
