Yea we doing good I'm saying for when things really pick back up

With all the fests that tend to draw big crowds cancelled for the summer and a lot of people squeamish about coming out as much still, it's doubtful that it's going to happen before this pick ends. Just have to wait till the fall pick to see if bus assignments revert back to artics being stacked back up at K and NP. Yeah we're going into stage 4 Friday, but there will still be restrictions including CTA keeping its social distancing policies going. Plus stage 4 is the closest this state gets to normal without a vaccine happening, which medical experts say won't happen until next year at the earliest. You guys just won't be getting as many artics back any time soon. Everybody just has to take this one pick at a time and not try to jump too far ahead.

I did a little updating on my 6400s retirement list last night. So it should be up to date but it's missing a little info. I tried looking up info on the site but cant seem to find out a few things like retirement dates so I left a few question Mark's. It shows it is retired though. 

Somehow you got an overcount going on with the artics at Kedzie and in turn an undercount somewhere with the 40 foots if K's total bus count is just shy of 250. You have their share of the 4000-4149 portion at 46, but the fleet numbers you list only brings that count to about 20. So you got the artic count 25 too high and somewhere among the 40 footers you must be short by about 25 if K is steady at 240 something current count for summer pick. It's still feels strange seeing 103rd now having the highest artic count of all the garages with its roughly 80 to 85. .

71st had alot of artics the other day 5 and that was only the 4300s. Unless the fast artics are a hit there. That seems to be the only place I'm really seeing artics at 103rd. You could put some on stony I suppose. Now that the zoos are opening and museums those k and np artics will start to be needed. Ridership is way down since fares were reinstated it's like April all over again. 

[BusHunter]

Ok I adjusted kedzie ( I had moved some to ss but never changed the count at kedzie) but they are way worse than np 213 buses really!!. 103rd has 93 artics. I wonder why they need so many. I'd think 77th wouldn need the most.

6846 is also at K. That brings the 6400's count at K to 7. (6710, 6734, 6772, 6805, 6810, 6846 and 6862.)

Actually, 8. I forgot 6730.

No problem, here they are from Maths22 tracker. I do not have an exact month for 6708.

6679, 6847 and 6882 were stored at the beginning of the pandemic.

#1805 hasn't moved from its resting spot along the south fence and #8023 is on legal hold sitting in the boneyard with a black tarp covering the front end. A lot more artics are showing up again in the boneyard as more #6400s are getting shipped off for scrap.

Ok I adjusted kedzie ( I had moved some to ss but never changed the count at kedzie) but they are way worse than np 213 buses really!!. 103rd has 93 artics. I wonder why they need so many. I'd think 77th wouldn need the most.

That still sounds short somehow. I can't see Kedzie getting by with less buses in total than FG of all places. Somehow they must at least have more 40 foot buses than reported that they're getting by on after losing more than half their artics. 77th had to have given them something from its 40 footers in return for all those artics since that's where a lot of K's former artics went.

That's probably why they got #6400s because they were short. NP is short too. It's going to be a wild summer getting by on the artics they have. Even Kedzue will need something for lincoln pk zoo. I heard the ticket brokerage for brookfield had to shut down cause it was swamped. Lincoln pk is a free zoo however. There was quite a few people out this Saturday.

Every garage got some 6400's but I I dont think they seem short cuz when I had drove 6710 & 6862 it was still alot of flyers innthe garage & outside I think they just wanted to put them novs out & test them

Kedzie was definitely short for sure because if they were't they wouldn't take some of the oldest equipment in the fleet, which does still boggle my mind a bit as to why 77th didn't just trade away our low blocks of #7900's for maybe some #1600's added with the #4000's.

Yra they probably was I was just saying that it didnt seem like it with all of the flyers lating around in the garage but I don't work in the feild of fleet management but I say since the 64's are back every garage should just get their buses back
