Buslover88 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 I have just found that NovaBuses #6701-6708 are at North Park garage as of tommorrow, by the way, I'm a Bus Driver now, so, that's how I found out. Quote
Busjack Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 You mean this message isn't operative any more? Quote
Kevin Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 Buslover, please stop deceiving people about your identity. I highly doubt you would go from not being a bus driver to suddenly being one in a period of 10 days. I also find it intriguing how you recently changed the age on your profile from 19 years old to 31 years old. Quote
trainman8119 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 With these buses being former Chicago Garage buses, does North Park send buses down there to replace them, or does Chicago get buses from someplace else. Or do they just run 8 buses short. Quote
MetroShadow Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 I'll believe it when I see it...I'm not holding this to heart until I see it with my own eyes. Quote
Buslover88 Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Posted November 17, 2005 You guys are saying you don't believe me or something!!?? Fine, I'm leaving this Board, and I'm reporting it to the FCC!! Update:I'm sorry about the age thing, I forgot to put 31 when I first signed up lol Quote
sw4400 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 I don't really know whether to believe this post or not. I guess I'll just have to watch #11 Lincoln for some NOVABuses in the coming days. BTW: Saw a 7500 Series NABI on #11 Lincoln last night around 6:00p-6:30p. The rear sign said #146, but that could've been a messed up crawl. I think this bus was a #11. Quote
Buslover88 Posted November 17, 2005 Author Report Posted November 17, 2005 You saw a NABI on Lincoln, wow, maybe they are assigning 7500's to Lincoln. By the way, I found out that the Novas are not assigned to Lincoln, they are only assigned to the Express Routes that NP operates, sorry And Zolk, I just became a Bus Driver about 2-4 Days ago, It's true Quote
trainman8119 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Posted November 17, 2005 And Zolk, I just became a Bus Driver about 2-4 Days ago, It's true I am curious as to which garage you are out of ???? Quote

The rear sign said #146, but that could've been a messed up crawl. I think this bus was a #11. Now a 7500 on Lincoln is theoretically possible, and I can see that happening, although I don't see the reason why (A big bus on quite the busy street full of double parked cars). Quote
sw4400 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 I can't understand how NOVA's could be at North Park right now as the New Flyers won't be here until after the new year. If I get a nice Lincoln bus driver in the coming days, I'm going to ask him/her if any of the NOVA Buses are at North Park. BTW: What's so special about Wheel of Fortune on November 28? Are you going to be on it DSorrell24? Quote
RIPTA42 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 I haven't seen any LFSes around North Park that weren't in service on the 92. I can certainly see an artic on the 11. When there's a run to make, a bus is a bus is a bus. Quote
Buslover88 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Posted November 18, 2005 I work at North Park, only for a few weeks because Chicago Garage was not accepting workers right now, about 3 Weeks now, I'll be at Chicago. Quote
Buslover88 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Posted November 18, 2005 SW4400, that's what I don't understand myself, I'm confused lol Quote
Buslover88 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Posted November 18, 2005 I'm sorry for what i said earlier to Zolk annd DSorrell24, but I'm a Bus Driver. Let's just all stop fighting and get along..the World's too short for Fighting....but I might be on as much. Quote
MetroShadow Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 BTW: What's so special about Wheel of Fortune on November 28? Are you going to be on it DSorrell24? True. Shameless self-promotion always works dontchaknow :-p I'm sorry for what i said earlier to Zolk annd DSorrell24, but I'm a Bus Driver. Let's just all stop fighting and get along..the World's too short for Fighting....but I might be on as much. Whoever said I was fighting. I was just giving my dissenting opinion, as I am entitled to having one. I haven't been fighting, then again, it's all opinion and perception... Quote
trainman8119 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 I haven't seen any LFSes around North Park that weren't in service on the 92. 92 is out of Forest Glen, so you should see Nova's or Flxible 6000's. Quote
RIPTA42 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 That's my point; the only Novas around NP are the ones from FG. Quote
RIPTA42 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Posted November 18, 2005 True. Shameless self-promotion always works dontchaknow :-p Cool! My wife's going to be on Jeopardy on January 18 :cool: Quote
Busjack Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 Is 6700 still out of service, after hitting a pole on Pulaski (talk about the irony)? Quote
sw4400 Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 OUCH!!! Any pics??? On another NOVABus note, have any been retired? I know 6510 had a fire in the back a few years back. Has this bus been put back into service that anyone knows of? Quote
Buslover88 Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Posted November 24, 2005 6700 and 6510 are retired. Quote
