Brandon93 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 I'm new to this sight I spotted 1023 yesterday I can't remember what route it was on. 1514 today on the 103 W. 103rd, 1536 on the 112 Vincennes/111th earlier. All are fully rehabbed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.cta85 Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Add these 6 buses to the possible rehab list.#1509,#1569,#1508,#1840,#1224 and #1022. Some may have been posted already but I double checked the list to see. Definitely rehabbed for 1022 I had that bus on the 28 a few days ago, 1508-09 are too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 If #1446 has the secret compartment on the right side of the right wheel then it's rehabbed. Maybe mechanically, but it still has the red kneeling stickers which shows they didn't do anything to the outside of the bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Well, it's very stupid why they couldn't change the outside but who knows??? How many times does it have to be said that the engine overhaul is a separate contract? Assuming that it occurred at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoNova Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Hope no one minds, but could someone put a list together of the buses that have actually been rehabbed? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garmon757 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 #1488 is mechanically rehabbed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted May 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 #1488 is mechanically rehabbed. Yeah i saw that too on the #26 yesterday. #1840 was out there too. It does just have the blue stickers and nothing else. #1002 seems to be the same as #1840. Came across my second Nova with the blue stickers #6592. I wonder what that's all about?

It's either #6427 or #6429 has the updated no right turn in front of the bus plate on the rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 #1142's rehabbed on the #49. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted May 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 #1439's rehabbed on the #54. This bus has two different sets of seats in it. Damn I would've took a picture but I was getting off the bus when I spotted it. the seatbacks are gray not blue and the seats themselves look almost the same as what's on #7900. #1461's mechanically rehabbed.

BusHunter Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 #1589's rehabbed on the #62. It's a ghost bus though. Ironically it's leader which has #1580 is a ghost bus too. That's the first time I spotted back to back ghost buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 #1208's also a ghost on the #21 and #1462 was still a ghost yesterday on the #73. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I may have to check that out! Damn, it should've been on that route yesterday!!!!it's just two double seats behind the accessible seating area that are new one on each side the others are the same.

BusHunter Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Looking at the #7900's seats now I can say they are the same seats, but wherever you see blue is gray kind of like what's on a Pace bus seat. If the bus comes back out tomorrow maybe I can get some pictures. I was going to double back on Cicero But i got interested in the Orange line shuttle which was running longitudinal seat buses out of 77th with the Kedzie #4300's.

Hmmm, I really don't like the fact that there's 77th 4000 artics operating for the Orange Line Shuttles. What's next? 103rd's??? LOL Your best bet is to find #1439 on the bus tracker map. Yeah, you gotta check all "Chicago" routes lol! :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted May 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 Yeah I forgot how crappy those longitudinal artics were. I saw them there #4203 and #4187 and 1 more and I was like they really are going to run these here? Kind of humorous watching the standing customers with luggage wonder where they are going to hold on especially around the artic joint. But that's all 77th has now, (they probably should have split those up between Chicago and 77th) but I would've ran all #4300's out of Kedzie I mean it's just 10 buses just hold in the #4300's for the shuttle. It's kind of interesting/humorous when you think about some of these transfers. Remember when they gave Kedzie #4207 and #4206 and suddenly they went back to NP. Kedzie must have been like wth is with this transfer. I used to think 77th had some power, with the nova's going elsewhere, but maybe it's really Kedzie and maybe 103rd. Those garages have had the newer buses all along!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
