jajuan Posted April 19 Report Share Posted April 19 Wow I didn't think K's 1000s count had dropped down so low already or that its overall roster count is so low given the number of routes it has assigned. The spare ratio there has to have dropped considerably for it function with only 233 buses presently but see no assigned routes really taken away.

But the question is how many Novas it now has compared to a couple a year ago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Already factored in my thoughts, and 233 total buses for a garage like Kedzie still seems rather low when the amount of work is comparable to say Chicago, which is sitting on 284 buses, and 103rd, which has 254. Even FG has more, and it's a lighter workload garage. As for the other part of my comment, I knew K was going to drop more in 1000s, but I figured it would take just a bit longer in part from the special affinity I still hold for what happens at K because of it being my neighborhood garage all of my life up to a decade ago. 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted May 1 Report Share Posted May 1 I got curious about the counts of remaining 1000s vs number of 8350s. And based on @YoungBusLover's roster tallies, there are 809 1000s remaining still vs 317 8350s, a bit over the halfway mark for them. At first I was a little surprised that the 1000s tally wasn't lower given so many being removed from service due to the rust problem among the higher optioned 1000s in addition to the 8350s making it past the halfway mark for revenue service units. But then I remembered there had been some 6400s still when the first 8350s were going into service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then I remembered there had been some 6400s still when the first 8350s were going into service. I believe after the Summer pick we'll start seeing batches of #1000s getting sidelined because right now we need all hands on deck so to speak leading up to the Summer events taking place. Currently the total number of #1000s OOS has fluctuated between 229 - 253. Currently depending on the numbers I've formulated we're down between 801 - 777 #1000s left. 253 stems from buses being OOS 2+ weeks and 229 stems from buses being OOS over 1 - 6 months. Nonetheless, the retirement process is slowly moving along and I expect the month of May and June to get real active as far as #8350 deliveries are concerned.

jajuan Posted December 2 Report Share Posted December 2 Is NP having an artic shortage today? There are an unusually high number of 40 foot buses on the full route runs of the 147 today. Usually if there are 40 footers on a weekday running the full trips, it's maybe one or two runs. Today it's five. The main times I see 40 footers out on the route like that is in the PM rush and early to mid evenings on the Devon/Broadway short turn runs.

I've been seeing that on maths, 146 has been seeing quite a few too but I thought it was NP just adjusting to lighter periods and swapping 40s in for artics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
