Rhys Pate Posted February 11, 2023 Report Share Posted February 11, 2023 How soon will the 7900s be rehabbed? How many will be out of service for rehabs at a time? Will garages receive 8350s and/or later 1000s (probably not earlier 1000s though, as those will be retired and replaced by 8350s) to temporarily replace 7900s being rehabbed?

Is there a reason why the transmissions have changed on both of those buses? I was watching a video from 2020 of 8005, it also had the redone transmission back then, I thought this was new but Ig not. 8002 also has it so it looks like the 8000 range at 74th has it but maybe a few units don't have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any word on rehabbing them, especially since the oldest are at 77th, which always has beaten the ? out of its buses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted April 10, 2023 Report Share Posted April 10, 2023 I saw #8142 earlier today at the 31st and Komensky terminal, that bus does not have the new digital displays inside, it actually still has the regular red display inside.

Forget about air when the bus is full. If it's steaming, either there's a busted hose somewhere or someone didn't check or top off fluids.

Busjack Posted August 5, 2023 Report Share Posted August 5, 2023 On the topic of what 7900s (as opposed to current deliveries) K received, from @maths22 's tracker, it looks like yesterday something like 50 buses, of which 45 (8260-8324 range, making assumptions about the few not on the tracker) were from FG. It also looks like FG has 8202-8259 less 15 plastic seat buses still at 74, plus 8343-8349, indicating 49 7900s. My math may be slightly off, but it looks like what went to K offset the 8350s FG got.

Busjack Posted August 30, 2023 Report Share Posted August 30, 2023 1 hour ago, YoungBusLover said: The 8200s were manufactured in 2016 so they're technically going on 7 years old right now but nonetheless they shouldn't have that bad of an issue in regards to the A/C. The #7900s were next in line after the #4300s to get an overhaul so maybe in the next year or so once the pending deliveries of the #8350s are complete. I'm still puzzled by how 77th is some how getting #8350s before Kedzie. No matter how small the amount is those newer buses outside of #8405 should of been given to Kedzie. Sadly the #7900s are only good for heating because it has been well documented over the years with how bad the A/C is on them during the summer months. The question (since CTA hasn't done the 4300s yet), is whether CTA has the staff to do both and get the buses sitting in the yard repaired. It could contract it out, but hasn't posted a solicitation yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
