There's a plan in the budget for electric artics I think.... Bigger question is why the finance department didn't get the memo that over 200-250 artics is overkill and plaAr nning on maintaining 300 artics?(Base order of 140+170 in options)

Ar least the electrification pl an was to replace about 200 of the artics with electrics, and rehab 100.  But given the current state of the market, I don;'t see how CTA can get them.

Legal hold isn't that. The bus sits until plaintiff's lawyers can inspect it, which could be a couple of years.

A "couple" of years? Some of the 6000 Flexibles have been on legal hold since 2009 (16 years).
