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. Quote

Legal hold isn't that. The bus sits until plaintiff's lawyers can inspect it, which could be a couple of years. 1 Quote
