Tcmetro Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 The June 2022 performance metrics show 22.2% of the bus fleet unavailable for service on an average day in the same month. IIRC, the FTA spare ratio is 20% and CTA claims to not have cut service. So in addition to not having enough drivers for service, there aren't enough buses. I would assume the introduction of the 8350s to service has helped improve this figure though. https://www.transitchicago.com/assets/1/6/06-2022_PM_Report.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's usually a dark blue truck that I've seen similar to truck #270 in size that does the pushing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually they are pushed around, the retired buses themselves can’t move. Same thing at Skokie shops railcars are pushed into the shops due to no third rail outside the shop area. Theres a red shuttle wagon that pushes the cars in and out of the shops Edited October 7, 2022 by Bus1883 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaBusFan Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Any word on when they will transfer all the remaining Old novas from the garages they’ve spilled over to over a year ago to south shops in preparation of scrapings?

According to @Shannoncvpi’s video when he was at 103rd, the remaining #6600’s along with #6579 are parked outside so they’re no longer inside the garage so they’re waiting to be sent to SS.
