can’t forget 77th has the most flyers out of all the garages as well as they haven’t been moved in years so it could be time to offload those 1200’s to another garage and send 77th some newer buses that C has been rained on

I think 74th has the same amount of flyers as well

Even if so, 77th has worn its buses out quicker. As I said above, this transfer was predictable.

And we most definitely have done that. 😅 I believe it's long over due to finally move these #1200/#1300s around to greener pastures.

74th hasn’t had their buses for many years, those 1500’s came from Kedzie as for 77th having the 1200’s and 1300’s since i believe the restructuring after archer closed, Chicago Ave receiving a few 12’s could be due to mileage but it could be something else they also got some 10’s from 103rd not to long ago so they could be tryna get some regular steel flyers to send off the rain of 8350’s they got hence why 8865 is at 77th.

Gotta be something else. Chicago is West side's 77th so the milage would be just as high lmao. Also are they slowly going back into numbered groups of buses?

Not to mention 7905-06 and 7908 is at Chicago from Kedzie and those novas been there for a week now

Spotted #8791 yesterday morning around 8:15am going eastbound on Irving Park around Kostner as an "Instruction Bus" with the run number of F997. I was surprised to see this as I knew #8791 to be a NP bus.

Edited December 23, 2025 by Mr.NewFlyer1279
all buses mentioned are at NP besides the ones at shops.

[Bus1517]

1088 3 > P looks like North Park is starting to receive some flyers back from 103rd (the stainless steel framed ones) 

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

1381 appeared outside of North Park garae

[Mr.NewFlyer1279]

1449, 1461, 1464, and 1508 have moved to Chicago Ave from 74th.

So did 8199 (at least the tracker was working).

Chicago lost yet another of its newer Novas: in addition to losing 8865 to 77th, it also lost 8573 to Kedzie

[Erin Mishkin Jr.]

1124 has not moved and is currently operating the 6.

A few moves regarding the 8350s I forgot to mention:

Within this month, in addition to 8865 going from C to 77th, 8683 also moved from Chicago to 77th. 8509 and 8573 moved from Chicago to Kedzie, while 8669 went from 77th to 103rd.

Scratch 8669’s move. It was only a BOL. It’s back on the #3 out of 77th.

With scratches to prove it.

Some weekend moves include buses between 1439 to 1443 returning to 74th after a couple years from North Park, 74th garage also getting back 1464 and 1508 which were short lived at Chicago Garage.

Chicago Garage also sent 1203 and 1216 to 74th as well, rather than 77th.

After being at South Shops for months, 1466 reappeared on the 49 out of 74th yesterday but this morning ended up at Chicago Garage on the 54.

1169 and 1171 have returned to 103rd after a couple years at Kedzie and North Park combined, along with bringing 4053 to 103rd as well.

[Mr.NewFlyer1279]

1146, 1148, 1224, 1225, 1271, 1289 and 4 more flyers have moved from 103rd/77th to Forest Glen
