It was surprising because why did it take them over a month just to now bring it to West while fully stacked with CNGs? I almost speculated that the remaining ones from South were retired.

The 6600s at South are no longer running either from what I can tell and what Busjack alluded to earlier so they're probably gone too.

We don’t know what’s the plan for #6232, #6241-45, #6250, and #6254. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure all of these buses logged a bunch of miles on them now so I wouldn't be shocked if they were retired, but they could also pop up at North too at some point if they still have life in them. I don't see any of these buses going back to West. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garmon757 Posted November 30, 2017 Report Share Posted November 30, 2017 Well, #6268 is back at West while not in service but the driver was nice enough to let me and another passenger on heading straight to Forest Park. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that one has been retired, since it was mentioned that it's been at West for awhile, no wonder why I haven't seen that on any South Routes since this Summer.

At least that one as being the oldest NABI fleet is still around. 6262 was NEVER at South. Until a couple of weeks ago, it was always a NS bus.

And given that #6258 and #6263 are not on any NS routes at the moment, they might be transitioning up there too. Those two should be the last Nabis remaining. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
