Yes I saw that

Also 1929 is on the 157 today, while 1970 was on the 70 on Friday. All the rest haven't run since last month, looking at the tracker info.

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.

by the looks of things CTA will proceed with rehabbing 430 of the 1,030 flyers with #1050 being the first rehabbed bus. 

What are some of the updates?

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.

95% of the stuff that’s new isn’t visible to passengers unless your a mechanic or operator and you can’t feel if a bus is rehabbed it’s like 99.9% a eyesight thing

Will These oldest New Flyers last into the 2030s or until the Electrics arrive?

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.

If they're going to rehab them, then add the push button stop request like on all the new Novas.
