I'm not a fan of the 7900s either. I would have liked the New Flyer Xcelsiors better. Hopefully when CTA orders artics, we don't get Novas . The irony is I don't like the Novas, but love Prevost motor coaches. I like New Flyer buses but MCI coaches gave fallen out of my favor. The regular novas are terrible. By comparison, the LFS HEVs and the LFS CNG, both 40ft & 60ft, are great. I understand the benefits of a uniform fleet, but CTA could definitely afford to branch out more here. Especially since the Novas don't have the best track record here (or at least amongst the members of this forum lol) Quote

Now Chicago has only Allison flyers And those flyers are the ones with the longitudinal seating in the front half of the bus Quote

And I agree about the ac in the new novas, it’s like a throwback to the 80s or 90s Quote

I saw three novas where I didn’t get the number and I saw 6772 6776 6780 and 6794 so I’m thinking that’s 6784 6792 and 6771 and 6784 if there’s 8. Quote
