Other Possible Buses that might be there: 1197, 1226, 1244, 1249, 1307, 1326, 1332, or 1334, based on what hasn't run today Quote

YoungBusLover Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 #1435, #1437 and #1614 are at 77th. Leads me to believe a mileage swap is gearing up to take place. I wouldn't be shocked if a few more #1600s ended up at 77th. I'll check to confirm if these are BOLs are permanent for time being tomorrow. Quote

Adam Hubbard Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Will some or more of the remaining South Side Flyers expect to stay or head to the North & West Sides? Quote
Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 Just now, Adam Hubbard said: Is all of the remaining South Side Flyers expect to stay or head to the North & West Sides? Most of the flyers from the south side that appeared at the west and north side garages this weekend are buses that still have the old drivers shield present and management does not want those buses to be out in the south side anymore. The south side garages are receiving buses that already have new shields from other garages. 1 1 Quote

Mr.NewFlyer1279 Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 @Erin Mishkin Jr. you stand correct, swap happened due to safety concerns with the old OG shields on the flyers. Quote
YoungBusLover Posted January 11 Report Posted January 11 #1203 , #1216 and #1227 have moved to 74th. Quote

Yeah, which also explains why most of 1614-1624 went to 77th besides 1621 and 1625 which have the original shields intact. Quote

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 Due to 4035 and 4090 being the last 103rd DE60LF’s with the older shield, it has moved back to Kedzie. 1 Quote
Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 9 minutes ago, Master58 said: 4074 moved to 103rd from Kedzie. 4053 and 4074 are in trade for 4035 and 4090. 4074 may not make it to the end of 2026 with major rusting near the rear door. Quote

Mr.NewFlyer1279 Posted January 12 Report Posted January 12 1197 has also moved from 103rd to Kedzie Quote
