I’ve rode on #1306 on 79th last year coming from Ford City, man I tell you it was the shittiest 1000 I’ve ever rode out of 77th. It seemed like every time when the bus accelerated, the transmission jerked and slipped when the driver tried her best to get it to a certain speed it was indeed fighting back LOL. 
 

74th is among the abusers of the 1000s with 1430-1629 being the worst, I always hated that batch of the fleet. The ISM7 set up doesn’t catch my interest as much as the ISM6 set up on 1000-1429 and ISL7 and ISL8 set up on 1630-2029. But I can definitely agree with you that the 1500s are bad

And I can definitely agree with you on #1306. That bus broke down on me on the 87 I believe a few months ago

#1388 F > P

[Bus1807]

#8351, #8384 F > P

[Bus1807]

I am not 100% sure but #8351 might be staying at P. #8384 left P and #1388 is currently still at P on the 49.

Yeah I saw, I also had some feeling it was a loan anyway because usually loans from FG do the X49 and that’s what #8351 was on before it moved back to FG.

[Bus1807]

A month late but #8083 has moved from 74th to Kedzie.

[Bus1807]

Does anyone know why #8549 moved from 74th to North Park? It didn’t stay at 74th for that long and originally came from CG. Was North Park low on buses? Because #8549 is the only #8500 at North Park currently.

74th got #8804 in return.

1187 is back at 103rd according to bus tracker (on 111A)

Hm, weird. I was pretty confident that was a permanent transfer.

[Bus1807]

#1113 back at 74th. Loan or indefinite?

North Park has gotten a new 7900 today. #8223. It is currently operating on the 49.

So same block pattern means it’s a loan? I’ll also watch my posting about loans. Sorry!

[Bus1807]

But I don’t understand why you would say that I must love watching the trackers. I sometimes use it as a source for information so obviously I might get some things wrong if I think a loan is a permanent transfer, but you gotta understand that I have a life and don’t use it most of the time. I check it like once or twice a week and if I’m not, I’m probably just living my life like a normal person. All in all my point is that I don’t usually use this website and when I do and see something interesting, like a garage switch, I’m most likely gonna think it’s a permanent transfer. I’m also quite new to the forum so I might be oblivious to certain things.

As i previously mentioned to you, the members agreed that posting that a bus being one place one day and another another day is of no significance. Also, I don't think trackers are that accurate. And, unless you work for CTA, you really don't know.

Your personal life isn't of my concern, but there are certain patterns of posting that are obvious to @Policeman and everyone else.

I understand what you’re saying, and I apologize if my posts have come across that way. I’m not trying to make assumptions or claim that I know exactly what’s happening with CTA’s fleet. I use the trackers as a reference, not as definitive proof of anything. I understand that buses can move between garages temporarily, and that seeing a bus at a different garage doesn’t necessarily mean it’s been permanently transferred. I’m still relatively new to the forum, so I’m learning how things work here. I’ll keep that in mind going forward.
