jajuan Posted July 27, 2015 Report Share Posted July 27, 2015 Yes, but how can you pass up the FutBol bus. How comes it doesn't say Goal!! on there is beyond me!! It has the bicycle kick, one of the coolest kicks in Futbol. So i don't get no extra credit huh?I'll give you extra credit with no strings attached to it.

That route has a high concentration of novas from Chicago. So what routes haven't seen a new nova? #54, #53, #37. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrethebusman Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 At least up to 8128 at SS as of Monday 7/27. Coming in a dozen a day it looks like. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maths22 Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I have created a website which shows which 7900 series buses are currently in service, and which routes each of them are on. It updates every 10 minutes with the latest data from the CTA's Bus Tracker. Please let me know what you think. https://maths22.com/cta/ 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyerMCI Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 (edited) I was beginning to wonder why none were on the #65 yet. That route has a high concentration of novas from Chicago. So what routes haven't seen a new nova? #54, #53, #37.I was surprised to see one on the #66, rush hour is usually artic time. If you look below, there seems to be an unusually high concentration of them on the 66, with all the buses at Chicago active, 50% are on the 66 and 50% of those are on Pulaski trips. Wonder what they are doing with those artics that are normally there? PM Rush (NCA = Not Currently Active):8100: 20 to Ill. Ctr8101: 54B to Solo Cup8102: 66 to Austin8103: 65 to Harlem8104: 121 to Union Station8105: 66 to Austin8106: 66 to Pulaski8107: 66 to Pulaski8108: NCA8109: NCA8110: NCA Edited July 28, 2015 by NewFlyerMCI 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyerMCI Posted July 28, 2015 Report Share Posted July 28, 2015 I'm also wondering what routes at Chicago will more often get a full nova treatment, for instance, if you look at the #3, there are 23 novas currently running that route, which means that there are maybe (if any) 2 new flyers. There are other routes as, like the #8 or the #67, the #1 and #2 is run almost exclusively with novas now and half or more of the #94 is novas. As it looks now, #66 seems like it's being poised to get one, but there are too few buses at 5 to say for sure, unless almost all the active ones end up on the #66 at the same time.

I see this being used for finding rehabbed buses mostly, but is also good for tracking the movements of the new 8100's! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 (edited) I wonder if there's a way to track what hasn't been on the tracker lately. Like say #8027 wasn't out in a week we'd know it was at the shop. Edited July 29, 2015 by BusHunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like say #8027 wasn't out in a week we'd know it was at the shop.Unless CTA is like Pace used to be (i.e. the Transitmaster on while in the garage), you would have to do it by omission, i.e. keep a database of blanks in what his app reports.

BusHunter Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 Wow, #8103's ac was actually decent. #6867 has the ac cranking so good I was actually getting a headache or a brain freeze. I was looking at the ac holes on #6867. Maybe the holes are too small on the #7900's. I remember back when the tmc's had ac. The ones with more holes had the better ac.

BusHunter Posted July 29, 2015 Report Share Posted July 29, 2015 FG is getting screwed!!! Thats what theyre getting!!! ;(But they have the best air conditioned buses at CTA. They can do more with junk, than the other garages can do with new equipment!! On the new bus/rehab bus front I am a bit concerned with all these #1000's moving around to other garages. It may actually be setting the stage for FG just to get the Chicago Novas. They might have to sing the cubs song, "wait til next year"!! But you would think they would get a trainer bus or two before the year was up, unless that's not the plan to send them the option, but I would really be shocked if they didn't get it.
