sw4400 Posted January 23, 2019 Report Share Posted January 23, 2019 I'm creating this topic because we currently have 25 Novas set to go into assignment at some point in the near future. This is the only purpose for this topic, do not use it to cast arguments about the past assignments or anything as such. Let's monitor CTA for the assignments of these buses and post them here(and perhaps a pic or two as well on route). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FG has less buses running on weekends(I know because I use Addison and it's like Lincoln back in the day on weekends... one bus every 20-30 minutes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
