Could it be doing a #36???? Was it in CTA livery? Are we sure if wasn't a Prudential PLaza/Aon Center Proterra? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WCR Posted August 19, 2019 Report Share Posted August 19, 2019 So just to clarify, was the full order for 45 buses exercised, or are only 20 expected? If 45, then they would probably be going to both Chicago (for the 66) and 74th (for the 63). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's not an update for you, then there are no updates at this time. This is info that was shared at the most recent board meeting which was about 4 days ago. They said no work is being done at Navy Pier or Midway yet but showed photos of construction at Chicago & Austin for the super chargers that they barely started. I've also been at Midway and there is no construction at this time. Again if that's not an update for you, you're ungrateful. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted October 11, 2019 Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 Just to confirm some well needed updated news for #700-#701, they're both at south shops getting equipped with electrical rails and other components on the roof for the upcoming charging/sub stations, #700 is parked along west 79th with what I just described already completed and #701 is currently getting that work done now. Now as for the proteras they're currently getting what I say certified and studied by garage personnel at Chicago garage, there is only two on the,property so far of the 45 and they currently do not have a fleet number series on them. Time will tell when they'll hit the streets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably still has its blue wrap but I'm not sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
