On rereading the thread, I was not sure to which you were replying. Definitely the case with the electric buses, as the CMAQ application is the primary source.

At least this time it was doing so for a route actually assigned to 77th as opposed to when I saw it shadowing a #49 out of NP a few months ago.

Smart move, Bus Operators!!! What would they do if there was a railroad crossing with a bus stop just beyond the tracks? Stop 701 on the tracks while taking passengers?

Given garmon's pic, maybe this is why.... stopping the middle of the street, you'll get a daredevil to shoot around the front of the bus as it's taking off and smash!!! There you go. This may not be the case, but with impatient people and poor shadowing on the CTA Bus Operators part(leader and 701), like in this capture, it's a possibility.

BusHunter Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Maybe it got shot. (I know bad joke) Probably just more gossip. How does a bus get in a wreck not in service?

Garmon posted a picture on Sunday with the bus appearing to be intact, near his residence and also near the 77th Garage. In short you people are saying that an administrator committed a massive deception. If you don't believe him, maybe you should get the metadata for that picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was put on a flatbed trailer and hauled back to St.Cloud. 4323 will be next week. Which reminds me, if 701 were wrecked, wouldn't it be in the news? Let's stop the silly season.

While we're arguing semantics, Garmon never said his picture was from sunday only that it was posted on sunday. I doubt alot of the higher up managers and administrators even work on sunday. So take that in your pipe and smoke it. (I'm so mean) Lol!! Still though it's probably bogus that it was wrecked. Where is it in the boneyard? No way!! I'll have to take the status quo here.

ajm522 Posted July 19, 2016 Report Share Posted July 19, 2016 Heard it on Monday (yesterday) that the bus was involved in an accident while in training. The operators I spoke with didn't specify severity and it didn't sound like it was that bad. They said the bus was sidelined in the transportation yard awaiting further action.
