It has been nearly a year since I made that post, the reason behind why #8011 is at Chicago garage has already been clarified along with #7902. https://www.transitchicago.com/arriving-now-digital-screens-providing-real-time-service-information-aboard-cta-buses/ Quote

sht6131 Posted January 21, 2020 Report Posted January 21, 2020 Thanks for the info. Remember seeing the article but just skimmed over it. Anyway the article mentioned it will be tested on other routes. My question was why only Chicago and Madison after all this time? Quote

Mr.cta85 Posted January 29, 2020 Report Posted January 29, 2020 7900, 6579 I believe and 4051 are all at 103rd garage. Now 6579 is a instruction bus along with 7900 but 4051 from Kedzie I have no idea why that bus is there ??♂️ perhaps a training bus we got new operators coming in so perhaps that explains the 3 buses.

I guess I understand 7900, but the other 2 don't make sense to me yet As for 6579, it's crazy I that 103rd doesn't have ay 6400s. Only F has them. Will CTA send 1 6400 to every garage for training? Will 103rd receive more 6400s? I think not. As for 4053 doesn't 103rd have enough artics for training? Unless 4053 has exceptionally high mileage. this doesn't make sense. I sure 203rd's artis rack up plenty of miles. Quote

So far that would be the case because south shops has at least 8 or 9 #6400's converted over to instruction buses. Quote

I'm with that's my best bet but my think is why turn the 6400's into training buses when they are slowly retiring them & they are only at FG unless the new drivers going to FG? Quote
