#2025 has been released from south shops on the #54B. I guess now i have an excuse to check out Midway yard further.

Here's shots of #2021, #2025 and #1806. All three buses are fully rehabbed.

Alright, #1672 and #2028 should be fully rehabbed while awaiting to be release at the shop. #1220 still might be mechanically rehabbed but #1569 is now fully rehabbed after spotting it on #24 after I came from the bank near home. #1482 is awaiting tail light upgrades in which I've thought it was done from rehabbing. Maybe it went through an intervention! xD

Yeah #1040 is rehabbed #1309 is rehabbed too. Both #1065 and #1040 have no exterior upgrades and no new paint job I think these latest rehabs are being done at the garages versus south shops.

We can add #1656, it's a full rehab too and I might have saw #1849 as a full rehab but I need to recheck it.

Here's some shots of rehabbed buses. i wonder why they are suddenly going gangbusters on the mechanical rehab buses. Could rahm be scheduling a press conference for the first day back to school. "we got all new buses for the school kids" They could probably finish those off in a month, but they need to go to the paint shop.

#1658 is ready to be released from the shop. #1290 and #1367 must've went through maintenance but should be released today also. #1385 is inside the shop for an undisclosed reason and #1990 has made its 3rd trip to the shop (inside) getting updated with something while being raised up. #1711 is undergoing repairs (photo below) from whatever accident it was involved in. #1534 is finally inside the shop while possibly getting rehabbed. #1102 is now fully rehabbed.

There's language from the Nova press release that would support your conclusion: "Since 2011, the CTA has acquired an almost entirely new bus fleet, providing customers with safe, reliable and more comfortable transportation. This includes 400 new buses purchased by CTA, excluding the 125 new buses announced today, and the nearly completed overhaul of more than 1,000 buses to make them like new and extend their lifespans." (emphasis added)

#1672 has been released on the #12 and #1658 has been released on the #72, so NP, C, K, and 7 are down to one bus each that is totally unrehabbed.

#1658 is rehabbed on the #72 and it still has the black floor. I was wondering if it would keep that or not. Here are some pictures of it and #1663, which doesn't need a paint job and looks pretty good.

First at NP #1684 is still mechanically rehabbed
Chicago's #2004 is fully rehabbed now but it's still wrapped and the exterior looks untouched. There's a picture of it a few posts back.
#1461 is now fully rehabbed and it has been repainted, picture below.

Here are some more rehabbed buses out of 74th. #1584 and #1039 but they need the exterior redone. They are down to 4 left, they all seem to be in service too.  74th might be the first garage to have it's #1000's all rehabbed, but they could still use a paint job on these recent ones. I also uploaded a shot of #1672, which was rehabbed on the #7.
