You're correct. I'm just curious though because for 13 buses to be off the roster earlier month and over 75% of that list being active just makes me wonder what is actually accurate and up to date on the end of that database. My only guess is could those buses be up for future retirement based on title/insurance or something else along the lines of maintenance?

CTA official roster via FOIA dated 10/3/22. Now one comment: years ago I would get these lists from Property and noticed they were good for THAT DAY only. Bus at SS that day, not on list that day, reappears a few days later list. Apparently list based on location codes, and South Shops coded buses are not shown as they are "not in service". Kind of odd, but this is how CTA (and Pace?) does it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I appreciate the information, I'll definitely start looking into the FOIA and compare what I see versus what is actually on the rosters.

FOIA is a legal method for getting documents from government agencies. If you have access to the roster computer, that"s a more current source. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrethebusman Posted October 28, 2022 Report Share Posted October 28, 2022 CTA is very good about FOIA, as is Pace. I have run into other agencies around the country that are not, like Johnstown PA that claimed fleet numbers are "secure information". Somebody should tell them that anybody who is not blind can see them... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to specify what you want, which would be active fleet numbers, and that's all what you get. That wouldn't include badge numbers, and the law otherwise precludes giving out personally identifiable information. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bus is also special considering it used to have LED headlights along with #909, it’ll fit the #1000’s better versus the warm white halogen lumens in the headlights they still have when they were originally delivered with.
