Maybe they'll keep them for a while or keep them till retirement but maybe they'll give it back to FG but Idk yet

With NP getting more artics back I don't see a reason for them to have any 6400s on deck, like today 77th could easily use them instead of taking buses from SS.

Yea C borroe buses from other garages for the 4th to help with the 65 & 72

Not today according to tracker. In fact,  I think the last time 72 got help was the Water and Air show several years back. I also have not observed beach service help in a long time. On Sundays during the streetcar days there would be as many as 10 extras between Kedzie and Clark. As a teenager, since l lived 2 blocks from North & Kedzie, I spent my Sunday afternoon`s hanging around with the supervisor at Kedzie.

Wouldn't it be simpler for other garages like K to send their buses and drivers to help out?

Depends. K is closer but has a lot of downtown routes already so they got their hands tied same with 103rd and the 29 so it would make sense for those 2 to help, FG or 74th has the extra idle manpower especially when you consider the regular guys from K and 103rd are gonna get caught in the crawl and go into a looooot of overtime

I usually see P K and FG chipping in on grand but you can mess around and see a 03 on grand if it’s that serious. It’s all about how empty everyone is around that time and also what might happen on a weekday might differ on a weekend considering if the 3rd happens on a Friday then you have to fill rush hour PLUS the extras vs this year you just had extras to put out. Hell 2012 NYE #4011 was working #29, then another year I saw  a few NP artics doing 66 for the 4th
