We may HEAR about garages being the reason a bus type isn’t there but it’s up to the scheduling department as well as mechanics. Just like everyone thought the drivers were the reasons 77th doesn’t keep artics for long when it’s the sheer amount of service volume that prevents artics from working there without affecting spare ratio. Also keep in mind that kedzie tends to keep older buses outside of the few 1700s and 1600s since it runs a lot of downtown and peak only service. It had the oldest artics along with a lot of the 1200s that 77th and 103rd wasn’t holding for the longest till 1000 series rehabs reshuffled everything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would of assumed Kedzie would of traded with 77th to gain more lower #7900s in exchange for the rest of there low or mid #1200s rather than #1800s. Then again I do get the aspect of getting 8100s from Chicago because they probably have lower mileage than our lower #7900s do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they had of traded with 7 for a few artics back & took their 7900's back but cool got 8100-08 their in better shape then the 79's thats their already Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
