#1654 is rehabbed on #12.

I was on that bus today but I already thought it was called off so I didn't.

I was on that bus today but I already thought it was called off so I didn't.

I thought that it was mentioned but after carefully looking at the list, it wasn't on the list.

#1079, new from south shops is on the #53A if anyone wants to check that one. #1150 is on the #9, that was also at south shops.

#1079 is indeed rehabbed. Just spotted it @ 79th/Pulaski.

Check 1953, the bus has updated blue kneeling sticker. So it may be a mechanical rehab. It still has old lights. On #3 right now

[BusHunter]

I looked at #1689 last week and it doesn't have the access panel and doesn't look rehabbed except for the blue kneeling sticker at the rear door. I probably need to take it off the list.

Hey BusHunter, have you forgotten about me mentioning #1268 being mechanically rehabbed and #1266 only having the Clever Device upgrade????? :p

These must have been weekend shots sense 74th has times when it runs no NFs on the 94 on weekdays. Or if they do it's only one at most a lot of times.

Rehabbed: #1055 #1803 #1864

Getting rehabbed: Unnoticeable because of the D-Pod/Station garage doors are closed.

Awaiting for rehab or completion: #1048 #1282 #1833

Questionable for rehab preparation or out of service: #1195 #1218 #1240 #1989

Other notes: Rehabbed #1564 is out if service due to an undisclosed accident (left rear tail lights are smashed). #1468 doesn't have it's tail lights nor back bumper installed yet. Rehabbed #1457 had to get something fixed but why did they inserted the rear kneeling decal so low though? Notice how small it is also compared to the normal sized ones i.e. #1864.

#1034 is over here at bus and truck 33rd/Pulaski. Got a pretty good shot of #1079. I forgot to mention #1488 was on the #4 earlier. I won't probably see that one today.

[BusHunter]

#1735's on the #9 but it's approaching 103rd.

[BusHunter]

#1735's a full rehab on the #9.

#1521's rehabbed on the #29.

Are you downtown right now because if so, I'm not too far from you. I'm on #22 by Grand.

Where'd you take the pic of #1735 at? To me, it looks like either the Ashland Orange Line Terminal or at the 95th Red Line terminal (if it was there, I wonder why the bus sign displays "9" instead of "N9".

[ajm522]

1786 looks to be rehabbed on #36.

[BusHunter]

#1903 is rehabbed on the #36 just passed me I'm in the loop checking out these new #7900's.

[garmon757]

#1903 is rehabbed while on #36 (what the hell BusHunter)! Now do you believe me about the wheel odometer jajuan??? :p

I never really doubted you. My point was the few CTA buses that still have odometers on the rear right wheel have had them painted over. 1903's up until recently was painted over as well apparently since I remember just within the last few weeks the face of it was a completely black circle with the reading not viewable.
