garmon757 Posted September 11, 2014 Report Posted September 11, 2014 Apparently in Los Angeles. I thought there might be something to the left of the 703, and there isn't an LACMTA route 703,* but I can't figure out where CTA got that reading. __________ *The closest match seems to be route 603.It makes me wonder what kind of program that New Flyer is using for the signs or what the hell did cta do for this to be displayed??? This is about to be interesting to figure out. Quote

This is about to be interesting to figure out. I really don't see any reason why anyone would mess with the signs at all, unless replacing them or the ODK was part of the rehab process. As I understand the bids, all with which NF was involved was the powertrain overhauls. Anyway, programming the signs should have been a CTA responsibility. Apparently, Luminator now has a web based tool to do that. Quote
BusHunter Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Posted September 11, 2014 I've been noticing alot of signs say not in service with a run number and some appear on bustracker and some don't. One day I swear all the NP buses on the #49 were like this or most of them. But #1731, that is a problem bus with the destination when I saw it it was totally blank in service on the #49. Quote
BusHunter Posted September 11, 2014 Author Report Posted September 11, 2014 #1998's rehabbed just passed me on Madison. 2 Quote

There was 3 back to back all not on tracker all rehabbed. Quote

garmon757 Posted September 12, 2014 Report Posted September 12, 2014 #1870 is rehabbed while I was riding it on #53 on this chilly, rainy morning (I love cold weather). 1st shot was @ Pulaski Blue Line and the other two @ 31st (#1997 was the follower and a ghost bus). Quote

It's unofficial for it to return back to service! Here's the aftermath of #1940 and #1468 Yeah it's positive that #1468 is in front of the garage doors like it's awaiting repairs now instead of the middle of the yard and in limbo, maybe it's getting prepped for a rehab. #1940 is looking at body repairs and a paint job, they should just rehab it while it's there and get it over with. Anything's possible #1148 and #1520 both came back unrehabbed. Quote

Anything's possible #1148 and #1520 both came back unrehabbed. I'm really fortunate enough to give y'all a ton of updates especially #1468! I was shocked to see Cummins/NPower being out there because that's really rare and that might make #1228 be mechanically rehabbed. Quote

They might have been out there for some other reason, though. Quote
