Busjack Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 1000s update: #1147 seating arrangement (AMSECO InSight: 5 seats and Model 6468: 34 seats)I was just thinking, that after 9 years, so much for the promise that the 6468s would be replaced as soon as an adequate amount were in stock.

NewFlyerMCI Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 7900s update: Chicago Garage has been added to the roster (8100-8199).Would be kind of funny if some were mysteriously assigned to 103rd, thus making them assigned at all the number garages.

Busjack Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Would be kind of funny if some were mysteriously assigned to 103rd, thus making them assigned at all the number garages.Since the garage code is 5 instead of C, maybe you got your wish, anyway. Anyway, the predictable happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Here's a quick heads up Garmon. In our recent discussions on where buses are located, I took a look at the Buses page on chicagobus.org and noticed that 4000s are still marked as being assigned to 77th.

NewFlyerMCI Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 Hey, is it possible to update some of the the route listings for the garages? For instance, the #122 and #123 are still up and the #12 and #151 are still listed as beloning to 5, to which I was informed was wrong.

jajuan Posted August 2, 2015 Report Share Posted August 2, 2015 (edited) Hey, is it possible to update some of the the route listings for the garages? For instance, the #122 and #123 are still up and the #12 and #151 are still listed as beloning to 5, to which I was informed was wrong.Well yeah 122 and 123 for sure because those routes no longer exist per the December 2012 DeCrowd changes. But internal garage stuff like 12 and 151 no longer having shared runs from Chicago garage might also need a heads up from our bus operator members to confirm that a change like that among the garages did in fact take place to help our friend Garmon out. He does make it around to a lot of spots around the city, but even he can't be everywhere. The run number stuff I've been giving a pass on for the longest because CTA's increased reliance on interlining and operators doing work on one route during the first half of their shift and then working a totally different route the second half has been making run numbers identifying work on a specific route meaningless.

Indeed that it's the bus operators digression to verify changes with routes, run numbers, garage releases and acquisitions of routes, etc. I will remove #151 from Chicago Garage's list but #12 will stay on that list.
