It's weird to see but my only guess is this a ans it's a wild one at that. 74th may have received some #600s along with getting a few returns from SS. If any garage is short buses right now it's 103rd whether it #1000s #4000s and #4300s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Kedzie artics are probably being used to fill extra runs on the 94 related to the event. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had nothing but issues since getting moved. I can imagine FG staff feeling some kinda way. They work hard to keep their buses in a great state of repair only to see them get swapped for buses in less than pristine condition . If FG hasvto do a bunch of repairs on buses from 77th, then let 77th do some work also. When I worked for a charter company, there was a sister company in Florida that did cross country tours. Some kind of way, their buses had issues when they came to Chicago. The first time, we gave them a brand new Prevost H3 45, which I protested because I knew this was going to be a pattern. We repaired their raggedy vanHool, but we couldn't use their bus . I personally wouldn't have sent that bus anywhere , but that Florida company did. About two weeks later, the same company sent a another bus cross country in worse condition. Thus time I saw to it that they got a 2 to 3 year old MCI 102DL3. It was still a newer coach, but not brand new and not a Prevost. About 2 weeks passed and I called the Florida company about our bus, seeing that we still had their raggedy bus that we couldn't use. Our bus supposedly broke down in Phoenix and they had to get a Phoenix bus to finish the tour. At that point I told them it was their responsibility to get my bys back to Chicago and don't expect to get another bus from me . They never did get another bus. The point of that story is to illustrate how companies feel about taking on raggedy equipment while giving up good equipment . Obviously FG can't tell CTA that they won't swap with 77th, but if I know a swap with them is coming, I'm not trying to do repairs on vyses that are going to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. @YoungBusLovermentioned how the buses 77th received recently from FG have had issues. I was only pointing out that when FG ( or any garage) has received buses from 77th, they always have issues . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get where you're coming from but SS is right next door to 77th and if the buses from FG were in such a bad state why weren't they sent earlier for major repair then? The usual suspects so far have been #1558,#1560-61 #1586-89. Heck I had #1561 last week and had a constant check engine light, #1574 had a similar issue but what was more perplexing was how the transmission didn't pull very well on take off. The bus nearly stalled out a few times on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Javi75 Posted September 29, 2022 Report Share Posted September 29, 2022 When did Kedzie get rid of all of its 1500s? I’ve only been seeing 1200s, 1600s, 1700s and 1800s out of Kedzie in like the past year. Were all their 1500s sent to FG and 74th? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
