Amazingly, for a bus thats 25 years old , she still runs smooth. Obviously it cant take the stress of hard service anymore  But still does the job!

I believe it could lol just not advance as the buses now  but it still looks good & the last time I heard it run it was running good af I wish I can get a chance to drive it miss those stairs

That was actually a different Fresh Moves company. Not related to the earlier company. 

Ahhh I gotcha, that makes sense then.

My roster has been updated with the Covid-19 changes. The changes for today I still have to change a few but for the most part it's accurate.

Well it has the new overhead charging system that puts it online with the Proterras. I've seen this on #701, not sure about #700, last I heard it was at south shops. Passed by south shops on my uber ride yesterday, they have alot of old novas #6500's on the 79th fence. I wonder why they are still in the rotation unless they are swapping parts out with the amber #6400's.

#700 has been getting worked on for over a month now at least suspension wise, a majority of those #6500's are getting prepped for scrap and parts for other instruction buses. #701 was out Monday on 79th but hasn't seen much usage on any other route.

4196 is there now as well. I also noticed on 4196 that they instead rope off the one seat diagonally across from the driver since they cannot rope off the wheelchair spaces.

Test buses from FG were always going to be permanant  Those buses were never going to be returned to FG.

Yeah, that was one of the first pandemic responses, and imo, the least helpful, but since I guess it's not like someone will need the seat, it doesn't matter that much
