YoungBusLover Posted November 19, 2019 Report Share Posted November 19, 2019 77th now has a total of 4 proterras in its possession. I'm also pretty sure that Chicago garage still has there two as well. So as of now that would be 6 in total out of a possible 20 or so confirmed for delivery. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted December 17, 2019 Report Share Posted December 17, 2019 Just giving another brief update, a majority of the proterras that were at south shops have been removed Only 3 are left as of early this morning, today prevost officials were here at south shops it is unclear as to why though. I'm wondering what the next phase for these buses are now at this juncture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the buses go back to Proterra or did they go to C? I passed by C today but wasn't able to see anything (not that I was looking). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted December 19, 2019 Report Share Posted December 19, 2019 Probably training with them. That's why they are gone. They are building a building at the chicago Austin terminal. They must need a substation to generate all this power for the buses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've noticed that certain stretches of 79th Street and Chicago Ave have recently received red bus lanes and overhead signs installed. I wonder if that has anything to do with the future of the proterras and XDE40's entering service next year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like a job for a FG operator who used to work the 88-Higgins back in the 1980s. She was very nice to passengers, but one day a car was parked in the bus stop ion Harlem avenue in front of the Blue Line (Kennedy) station on a rainy day. She pushed the car out of the way with her bus. After all passengers boarded, she pushed the car to the edge of the Kennedy entrance ramp and radioed for the police to tow the illegally parked car. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
