MTRSP1900-CTA3200 Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 #1751 is rehabbed on #75 but it's malfunction is really weird. As Busjack pointed out, looks like the sign is in default/demonstration mode. Saw something similar inside a rental car shuttle bus in Phoenix. It was just pointing out the features of itself in tricolor. It also was showing those little symbols that are on playing cards, so maybe the sign was made in Las Vegas? Either way, looks like someone missed that on releasing the bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted August 27, 2014 Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 Artics from 77th will take care of that. Thinking of what Andre said it sounds like NP might be shifting artics not gaining them as I don't see where they would have the space at the garage for too much expansion. (Maybe after they get the Foster bank land setup) It's a real possibility 103rd might get most to all of those artics from 77th how else would they be able to equip artics on #26 and a few for #28 loop trips. That being said, 103rd may in turn lose the lowest #1000's and just be #1500's and #1800's. 74th is most likely going to get the overflow of NF's from 77th. I think that's becoming more apparent as they keep borrowing from Kedzie. Makes sense. While it's possible the 28 may see a few artics like it still sometimes does from the current available artics, I think any additional artics to 103rd if it does get them this coming weekend would be aimed more for 6 and 26 and shoring artic use on the J14 and 192 so that 40 foot buses seen don't go beyond an occasional stray one or two.

BusHunter Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 #1691 is rehabbed on the #60. #1898 is rehabbed on the #72 but the rear doors aren't working. Riders had to use the front doors. #1664 I'll be checking out in a few minutes. I took #1854 and #1790 off the list yesterday. They are not rehabbed. A few minutes later: yeah #1664 is rehabbed on the #157. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted August 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2014 #1721 might be good to check out. It has the updated no turn plates and no blue interior lights on the #157 on it's way down Madison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwantae Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 That makes 13 buses down for rehabs from 74th counting the buses BusHunter tallied from other reports of buses seen at South Shops. No wonder that garage has been borrowing buses and actually ran a Nova on the N9 overnight last night for the first time in a few years. I'll say N9 isn't the only one. Make it couple 74th routes did ran an Nova during Owl service, I did spotted an Nova working N62 "Via Roosevelt/ Halsted" going Northbound on Archer @ Pulaski before 1AM last night. Excuse me for putting this on the wrong topic, I just want to add it to your comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Excuse me for putting this on the wrong topic, I just want to add it to your comment. To tie both our comments to this thread, it shows that the present buses going through rehabs at South Shops has left 74th short at present since 74th tends to only use NFs for owl service.

BusHunter Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 I must've not pay any attention to #1664 because I was on #157 around 5pm coming from downtown heading to my mom's job @ Mount Sanai..... This was mainly between 5:30 and 6:30. You probably passed it on Clinton or Madison as it travels different streets there. I tried looking up #1691 but couldn't find it, it might be a ghost bus. The sighting I had was physical in front of Oglivle. Well here's a shot of #1898. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted August 28, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 Looks like some #1000's have been released from the shop. #1016 is on the #29, #1796 is on the #49 and #1136 is on the #9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmon757 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 #1751 is off the rehabbed list because I'd accidentally misread the numbers. The rehabbed bus in the pictures is #1731. Also, #1575 is out the shop but they still didn't put the blue decals at all after all that time!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe it was a ghost bus with the destination all screwed up. #1731 I remember did appear that day. No problem I'll switch it out. #1721 is on the #60 and didn't you say #1351 was rehabbed. If so that's on the #35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Update: and my dumb self didn't get off the Orange Line @ 35/Archer because it was coming in 3 minutes damn....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garmon757 Posted August 28, 2014 Report Share Posted August 28, 2014 #1732 is rehabbed while on #63. Notice how the size of the number decals on the right side are wider or fatter than the regular sized ones on the left side of the bus. Also some idiot carved a gang sign on the window and I guess they couldn't do anything with the defective rear LED box. Just showing a few dots. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
