1181 remains at 77th, along with new arrivals 1855, 1891, and 1437. Would be nice to see these higher units out south for more than just the afternoon. Besides 1437 None of these came out of the shops

Looks like 1181 is back at P this morning

I can confirm that all of these moves are permanent for the time being.

I saw 8132 running 95 WB on 93rd St this morning. It's probably a loan but you never know.

Also #600,#602,#603 & #622 are at 77th as well. Farebox has been removed among parts from #600. 

Based on Buswatch, is it fair to conclude that the BE40s are done for?

I wouldn't say they're done for, C still has them on the active roster. However they're currently housed at 77th awaiting materials (Parts/other Miscellaneous) to be delivered. The ZX5s for whatever reason seem to be easier to work on and maintain than the BE40s. I dont know why that is though. HFE and HFM is what they're being held for. (Hold for Materials - Hold For Engineering).  Every now and then they'll move them out of the bays to other parts of SS.

#600 and #610 are at the training facility at 89th/Greenwood so that solves the mystery for those two being out of action. 

[YoungBusLover]

#611 has finally returned for the PM rush after nearly being OOS for 8 months.

619 moved to 74th

#8451 is at 77th currently on the 8.

Those particular temporary transfers make sense.

The transfers of at least three buses from K to 77th also makes sense, given that the former will be losing one of its routes to the latter.

Finally, the NP to 74th transfers are to maintain a sufficient spare bus ratio at the latter.

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

Besides those, all I see is 1560 now at 74th.

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

4063, 4064, and 4065 decided to make the move to 103rd.Sounds like Kedzie wants to dump some artics out as 103rd still wants hybrid buses.

So I guess 103rd not getting any more new  novas

Sure enough, the aforementioned 74th->C transfers were only temporary, as they were there only to help out with the Air & Water Show. They are back to their home garage now.

The K->77th and NP->74th transfers appear to be “permanent”.

Given it's been over a year since 103rd got any new Novas, it looks like the answer to that is no.

I was going to say it seems odd that K would be losing buses given that the 82 is becoming ok art of the Frequent Network starting tomorrow. But I forgot that it's supposed to lose the 39 to 77th according to the internal garage paperwork shared a few weeks ago.
