I rode 6722 yesterday. It still sounded and rode good, but it is really showing age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don’t think the run number series are correct. Is there anyway to track buses by their run numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doconnor Posted March 30, 2018 Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 9 hours ago, Aiden Tabucic said: Is there anyway to track buses by their run numbers The data from the bustracker doesn't seem to include it. While the run numbers on TransSee may not be accurate, but they are probably consistent from day to day. For example if you are an operator waiting for their run, you can find the TransSee run number once and you can keep using it until at least the next schedule change. TransSee can also be used to find one or more buses by fleet number: https://www.transsee.ca/fleetfind?a=cta&q=1810-1820&Go=Go and then you can use it to see how long it will take to arrive where you are.

At first I thought it was the run number because it formatting is similar to the TTC run number "28_1_10". I have left it in there because I thought it might be useful to someone. The block id and trip id from the ctabustracker doesn't match the values from the GTFS schedule like one would expect. This reduces the functionality of TransSee compared to other major transit agencies it supports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same came up with @maths22 tracker, and since they all use the CTA API are only going to have the data that CTA exposes. There was a time when the supervisors' version of BusTracker was visible, which showed run and badge numbers, but that lasted about 2 days. If CTA doesn't put out the data, no third party app has it.

RJL6000 Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 A few tweaks over the Easter weekend: 74th gained four buses: 1026 and 1027 from 103rd and 1366 and 1367 from Chicago. All other bus assignments remain the same as the week before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s funny because 1026 and 1027 were given to 103rd and then gained back I wish FG got some flyers I want more of the 1100 buses and 1400’s at FG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While anything is possible, I suspect the both of you will have to wait till June at the next pick change to find out if your wishlist suppositions happen or not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG is likely going to stay stuck at 65 NFs so long as it still has 100 6400s series Novas. And the CTA bus operations division has shown it wants the 6400s no where else. Remember what you move from somewhere else has to be replaced by something different. And CTA isn't just going to take NFs from other garages without those garages having them replaced by different buses. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and for that reason, nothing is going to happen at FG (except token moves to take care of emergency situations) until the 8325s and electric buses show up. Unless the other garages figure out some way to use the artics more effectively, there aren't buses free to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
