ChicagoBus.org Updates

[Busjack]

7900s update: New information regarding the $68.5 million purchase of 125 more buses is now on the page.

Well done on the text, but you also have to change the numbers in the table to 8324.

His shots are fantastic indeed but I meet him off Facebook. It's a group called "The Bus Lounge". He took these shots while he was visiting here. I suggested that anybody had some good shots to either email me or send me a Facebook message. His shots blew me away!

I like the changes made to Chicagobus.org as far as the new routes added to 77th and updated bus rosters to FG, But I also noticed that the 111A was  never added to 103rd routes what's up with that? Lol 

[jajuan]

It's also probably safe to change the 6400s' status by now from "active" to "retirement in progress" with close to half of them gone or on the way out and their only being assigned to one garage in the whole system.

It was in its feeling and said some bad stuff to me. So I said, screw it, you're out of the roster!!! LOL j/k. I'll fix that right away. Do you know the run numbers on that route?

The status has been retirement in progress for a while now. So therefore, I'm already ahead of you about that.

For real? Still showing "Active" on the Status line for two different browsers I viewed the sight.

There are two columns on the admin site that I can change ("status" and "progress"). However, I can't change the status column to retired because all of them are yet to be officially retired. I only changed the progress column to retirement in progress in which it won't show on the public site.

Oh I see. Thanks, that explains it. I thought it was like a prior structure Kevin previously had for the site where he was able to get Retirement in Progress to show on the status on the public site.

No worries and you're welcome. Don't get me wrong, that would make a lot of sense to have the statuses on the public site though.

111A weekday runs are 111, 107, 113 in that order. All are from the 111-111th/King/115-Pullman/115th run group.

I noticed Garmon that you still have Kedzie being assigned 4300s. But of course we know NP and 103rd took most of what remaining 4300 series hybrids Kedzie had remaining as part of the big artic trade that saw 77th once again purging itself of articulated buses with the last two stragglers 4326 and 4327 (upon its repair) eventually making their way to 103rd in weeks following that purge.

No problem. We gotta have each other's back in staying up to date since we all stay so busy.

Other folks said the one you rode is the second 1000, not the depicted prototype.
