Optima Bus Assignments

[sw4400]

I read from Kevin's info page that 103rd(or Archer) and North Park will be recieving these buses.  My question to the members here is what routes from the list I have put here from the chicagotransit and railfan page do you think have the greatest chance of getting Optima buses?

Assuming these routes are all still in service and/or still run by North Park.

#11,#22,#36,#37,#49B,#92*,#93,#96,#97,

#98,#125,#135,#136,#143,#144,#145,#146,

#147,#148,#151,#152*,#154,#155,#200,

#201,#205,#206

*=Certain Trips(i.e Ballgames, School)

Only light loads or narrow streets; 200s, maybe 11, 93, 96, 97.

Definitely not the ones with artics, unless CTA is totally nuts.

30' buses for ballgames and school trippers? Maybe if they have couplers and you could run a train of them.

[MetroShadow]

11,93,96, 201, and 205 out of North Park. 155 is still large enough to handle the 40 foot buses.

55A, 55N out of Archer

And U of C out of 103rd, maybe a couple of routes serving 95th Red Line

I have been gone for soooooooooo long i don't even know anything anymore..... Anyway the buses are getting assigned to Archer & 103rd??

[Busjack]

Archer is speculation. 103 is definite for 170s.

It looks like U of C routes will still go to 103rd for the fall pick, but might get transfered to Archer for winter.
