renardo870 Posted March 25 Report Share Posted March 25 Will 103rd get more artics this pick? It seems they've had the least number of 4000's for a minute now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it. The only way 103rd gets more artics, if they're stimulus artics come back from the dead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, they probably would need to resurrect some artics or 40 footers from the dead or shift some from K or P since some routes from 103rd have increased frequency now...J14, 34 and 95.

They're going to have too. 103rd shouldn't have gave 4015 - 4033 to P to begin with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man that’s what I’m saying, I’ve always been against the 4015-4022, 4024-4032 to P ever since they first move them, and P has enough artics to begin with and i don’t understand why they need more 60ft just to Hog them 🤦♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of the 6, J14 and occasionally the 26 why would 103rd need more than 70 arctics? Versus NPs 114 that are currently active on several LSD high density routes and local feeders?

If anything since 103rd strictly uses artics on express routes I'd have all the diesel artics assigned there and send all the hybrids to K or P since they make more sense on the local routes those 2 tend to use them all. I don't think the hybrids take too well to being used at high speeds so often (plus defeats the fuel savings point) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the hybrids take too well to being used at high speeds so often (plus defeats the fuel savings point) Recently they had two diesel LFR’s at 103rd after they came back from SS, but they have since ended up back at P. I always wonder why they haven’t got to moving the diesel’s down to 103rd yet. You don’t see as much drivers hit 55 mph on the NP routes as you do on the 103rd routes. This month, 103rd has only operated 19 DE60LF buses, and 18 others have not seen service this month. In May, these have operated on 103rd routes: 4000, 4005, 4034, 4037, 4040, 4043, 4048, 4070, 4083, 4090, 4097, 4108, 4109, 4175, 4177, 4179, 4186, 4190, and 4194. 4097 has just returned after being OOS since January. Only 5 out of 9 buses 103rd got from Kedzie in March are currently active. the other 18 listed as active within the last 6 months are: 4011 (I saw it return to 103rd after being OOS there for 2 weeks on 4/9, then it broke again on 4/15, OOS till 4/25, it broke down again on 4/25 and hasn’t been seen since) 4035 - this bus is often at the SS 4036 - OOS since december - visited SS multiple times in 2024 4045 - OOS since March, currently at south fence. Another bus that visited SS and even the boneyard a lot in 2024. 4046 - OOS since March, currently at SS 4047 - been at SS for a long time in the end of 2024, I saw them bring 4047 back to 103rd in mid December but less than a week later it wound up back at SS and has been there ever since. Must have a major problem going on it’s at south fence rn without a farebox. 4091 - OOS since 4/24 4101, 4103 - from Kedzie, OOS since March 4107 - OOS since early January, south fence bus 4111, 4113 - haven’t been seen since end of april 4116 - OOS since February 4173 - OOS since early december 4176 - at SS fence, appears to have parts being taken out 4180 - OOS since mid April 4182 - OOS since november 4184 - OOS since end of april Buses OOS for over 6 months that last ran at 103rd include the following: 4014 - supposed to be at NP - OOS since April 2024 and in boneyard 4033 - OOS since March 2024, has no bike rack and been at south fence since the summer 4051 - OOS since november 2023 4102 - OOS since october 2024, hit 6 month mark, at south fence 4105 - OOS since March 2023, at south fence 4112 - involved in accident in November 2023, unsure status 4114 - OOS since november 2022, appears to have parts taken out and in boneyard 4115 - involved in an accident May of 2022 4118 - retired after November 2021, in boneyard LTH 4172 - OOS since February 2023 4174 - OOS since November 2022 4178 - involved in accident February 2023 and is in boneyard 4181 - OOS since January 2023, at south fence 4183 - OOS since December 2022 4185 - retired after June 2021, in boneyard LTH with 4118 4187, 4189 - OOS since january 2023 4188 - OOS since December 2022, at south fence 4191 - OOS since February 2023 4192 - OOS since july 2023, in boneyard 4193 - OOS since January 2023, has been at OOS in 2024 appeared to be getting work done, but must’ve been cancelled as it’s still there 4195 - involved in accident in September of 2021 That’s 22 buses that have been OOS since before November of 2024. 103rd should have diesel artics since they are known for having their DE60LF’s going OOS consistently, most often for more than 3 months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted Friday at 05:21 PM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:21 PM 4086 is now retired officially with LTH stickers around the bus. 4121 now has LTH stickers too. 4121 has been retired since 2023 due to major rusting I noticed the rear door light was actually ON in 4121, and everything else is shut off. That’s really weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
