I wouldn't expect C and 103rd have a higher threshold of #8350s that much longer going into mid 2027. Not gone lie 103rd have a shit ton of 8350s I’m surprised they have that many tbh Quote

What would be weird if they were given 4300s to operate. Quote

Yeah I guess you can say that I’m meant 74th wise but I understand what you coming from and correction: 8398 is at 77th Quote

On 8/15/2026 at 12:30 PM, Mr.NewFlyer1279 said: and no these are not loans before anyone says something lol, C is also expanding the bus lane camera enforcement program on the 66 Chicago so nova swaps are going on with 74th and Chicago. Explains why I saw 8425, if I'm remembering the fleet number correctly, on the 9 Saturday afternoon. Quote
Mr.cta85 Posted August 20 Report Posted August 20 I love the 8350’s 74th is getting from Chicago garage. We up to a good 50 now and if we get 20 more I wouldn’t be mad considering the other garages have more than we do lol. Quote

YoungBusLover Posted August 22 Report Posted August 22 Well it's official #8013, #8019, #8062, #8063, #8069, #8073, #8092, #8110, #8116, #8122, #8127, #8128, #8187, #8214, #8411, #8414, #8424, and #8508 are getting moved to 77th sometime this weekend barring any last minute changes. I'm not to confident on how long those #1200/#1300s will last over there in exchange for these #7900s and #8350s they may get moved again at some point before the year is out. 1 Quote

I received confirmation earlier this morning after my run. Quote
Adam Hubbard Posted August 22 Report Posted August 22 Is 77th going to retire or unload it's 1200s-1300s range to get move to other garages or ride off into the sunset? Quote

Sam92 Posted August 22 Report Posted August 22 9 hours ago, ajm522 said: 77th couldn’t go all nova could it? Depends on fleet age distribution. It has gone all Flyer in the past after the Dan Ryan rebuild until the 7900s came in. Quote
