If 1970 was there on Friday with a physical sighting, then that means it's tracker is broken. Also has anybody seen 1495 around recently? I want to know if this bus is still in service not tracking.

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted January 22 Report Share Posted January 22 Here’s 1050. This bus is basically just like a normal D40LF, I don’t see or feel anything new for a rehab. Otherwise, this bus sounds really nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re definitely not getting past 2029, they’ll be gone before then, CTA will have to run another round of diesel buses if they can’t procure an order of more electrics how they’re planning. They’re barely running the current ones we have. CTA claims to go fully electric by 2040 we’ve got 15 years left to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
