It was very sudden kind of like how the 6000s were pulled. One day I saw novas on the 80, 78 and 81 then started seeing a bunch of new flyers that were recently at NP and some from K.

That is yet to be seen. There are new features inside the bus, but I expect the exterior to resemble the 7900s or possibly 8325 through 8349.

If so, that would be a plus as the tinted windows would block off a lot of glare from the sun and help the bus not get so hot like is the case with the original 425 newer Novas in combo with freaking weak A/C units.

I haven't had the chance to ride 8325 through 8349 yet. Is the a/c any better on those? I'm actually surprised that CTA would go with buses without hopper windows un case of weak a/c or a/c failure. I remember the 1000/7400/9000/9600 series fishbowls. The a/c failure got so bad CTA installed sliding windows to replace the sealed windows. They also stopped ordering buses with a/c until the 1993 Flxble 5300s. I noticed the 600 series Proterras also don't have hopper windows Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may possibly see if there's an improvement in the a=c on those buses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
