TaylorTank1229 Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Higher numbered deliveries have begun to arrive at South Shops, including 7927. Which means that well see some 7900s in service on the Chicago streets soon. The question is which garage(s) will the first couple buses be assigned to?

BusHunter Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 It's just like it was the first time with the #6400's. The buses are all out of sequence. Good news. Now I hope fg can get some nf's!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.cta85 Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 They will be out of 103rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artthouwill Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 They will be out of 103rd That seems odd in that 103rd has no Novas. Why send new buses there when 74th and Chicago Ave have the oldest Novas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol nah I'm just kiddin but that would be cool though. My guess is 77th only because I'm thinking outside the box a little cause cta always seem to surprise us when it comes to these type of decisions. I mean no one thought the pink line would be the 1st to get the 5000's so let's shake it up a bit lol matter fact I'm going to stay with 103rd just for the heck of it.

I know you're kidding, but 103rd actually does kind of make sense, given the high crime areas some of its routes go through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 I know you're kidding, but 103rd actually does kind of make sense, given the high crime areas some of its routes go through. Maybe, but given 77th and 74th have more routes that are pretty long in length, both of those cover more ground through higher crime areas than 103rd tends to relatively speaking. For example, with just the 9 and 49 alone, buses from 74th run through the former Rockwell Gardens area, parts of the Lawndale area, Back of the Yards, Englewood, West Englewood, Chicago Lawn and Auburn Gresham. The main potential trouble spots I see for 103rd are Roseland and maybe Pullman. And I stress I'm only saying they're potential hot spots based on newspaper crime numbers, given most of the times I've ridden through those areas I got through them trouble free.

Mr.cta85 Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Just saw a 7900 series sitting at 77th garage couldn't get the number though. I was going to drive through there to get a closer look but I didn't have my cta Id on me at the time but great to see them in person.

ctrabs74 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Shots of #7904 Update: There's another one inside the garage on the Vincennes side. Looks like it's parked next to one of the 6400s that it's supposed to be replacing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sw4400 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Shots of #7904 Update: There's another one inside the garage on the Vincennes side. Looks like it has yet to receive it's plate, so it won't be in revenue service for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmon757 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 Looks like it has yet to receive it's plate, so it won't be in revenue service for a bit.I'll say give it until the end of this month for some of them to start service.

Busjack Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 ... #7901 arrived at South Shops 2/3/14, was tested internally, not yet placed into service ... Do you have the paperwork on that? Or is it just the one driver who apparently reported the wrong number (and other incorrect things)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TripleTransit1 Posted June 13, 2014 Report Share Posted June 13, 2014 7920 at the south shops Look real closely, and you can see that the operator logged on as if it were running a #75. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted June 14, 2014 Report Share Posted June 14, 2014 Look real closely, and you can see that the operator logged on as if it were running a #75. Fence prevents me from making out any detail, so I'll have to take your word for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
