Other times they'll asked if I want to wait for a 40 footer to pull in and I'll gladly do that before taking a #4000 out. I'm not about to haul this 60 foot bus until 2 am because 87th street gets pretty quiet after 7 pm baring buses aren't missing but keep them on 79th 24/7 along Cottage Grove, 87th moves better with 40 footers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder what the story behind that bus is. I'm still shocked to also see #6401 still here as well I thought bus would of been hauled off long ago. Samething I thought with the 5900's thought those would have been hauled off caused I posted a video the pther day when I went tough there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason we got them was due to the pandemic and some operators complaining about passenger counts on 79th being too high to handle. I remember when CBS 2 news did a story on it and then the union got involved along with management. With things being different now going into 2022 they're not really needed here unless they're used on Cottage Grove and 79th during the day but overnight keep those buses inside the garage. We only have 15 or so left and they are the oldest of the entire fleet of #4000s, so why run them 24/7? We have 92 2014 #7900's to use that can handle excess usage 24/7. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if an 8th garage could mitigate artic issues at 77th. The other issue is if you run artics you gotta convert the whole line and all of 77ths main routes that qualify would necessitate only having 2, 3, 4, 8, 79 and 87 assigned then making 77th exclusively artic and moving everything else out to help keep the spare ratio up enough to keep them repaired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have 15 #4000s left just run 7 on 79th and 8 on Cottage until 12 am. Let them get some downtime while using your least used bus fleet at night being the #7900s which are the youngest.
