Yep, Chicago garage still has #1982 and #2019 since they’ve both entered service there in the early half of 2009. #1950 is also there as well, with them being the last 3 standing.

I remember seeing #1950 out of 77th when it first arrived, all buses numbered 1930-2029 are 2008 models and not 2009 as I always assumed. With #2029 being the last numbered in this series, it was delivered in June 2008. It was retired in 2023.

Yea most of those been retired by now its still a few left I saw 2006 rolling one time I was back outwest

Ahhh so if maintenance gets too expensive to repair, it runs until it’s capable of not being safe to drive/ride OR it breaks down and can’t be repaired. That’s what happened with #2006.

But 2006 still running i saw it not too long ago when I was outwest at the barbershop
