And FG is showing 146 1000s up from about 130 or so. So it looks like a 15 for 15 swap out. Quote

Interesting. It makes me glad I moved out of NP covered territory earlier this week. 7900s are heat boxes during the summer with those still all too weak A/C units, especially in 90+ degree heat like what's returning late this weekend and early next week. If I have to deal with a Nova instead of a New Flyer, I'd prefer it be 8350s over those crappy 7900s. 😂😂 Thankfully my new commute along South Lake Shore Drive makes it more likely I'm riding an 8350, NF 40-footer or NF artic given how K handles deployments on the 10 and 103rd takes care of my other alternates. 1 Quote

I’ve ridden on 8266, 8299 and 8426 today, man I tell you the AC at this point feels like it is blowing hot air on those two 7900s while the AC on 8426 works just perfectly. It feels like I’m riding a 6400 again as those had the best AC growing up Quote

Big groups of permanent assignment changes, not the random loans that in a big city like this is bound to occur so all we're saying save it for pick time when transfers are more likely to mean something Quote
79th to lakefront 1302 Posted July 29 Report Posted July 29 What about the 8248 because it was at forest Glen garage until 7/14/26 then it at 74th garage 7/28/26 is this a loan or no i just asking for some clarification about 8248 2 Quote

WAIT. TILL. PICK TIME WHEN THESE MOVES ARE MORE LIKELY TO MEAN SOMETHING.

They're arguably giving the route a worse name than some of the people riding it Quote
