Shannon CVPI Posted March 3, 2019 Report Share Posted March 3, 2019 Dam I thought all that 8325+ was going to FG but they sent half to 3 well least they didn't send them to 7 or 6 when buses come back west from them two garages they stank like they barely clean them or some not bashing nobody tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiden Tabucic Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Some of the 8325-42 have 3 stickers on them and so do 8236-8247 do you guys think 103rd will send the 8325’s back or will they keep them just like FG is keeping all of its flyers that they got 1034-1051 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling FG will lose all of its Novas and will have only flyers in the near future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think 103rd will get rid of all its flyers I just think they'll get more novas in exchange for flyers ???. Have a good feeling fg will be all flyers like it was all 6400 novas. But we'll see in time if that happens or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fg.mark Posted March 4, 2019 Report Share Posted March 4, 2019 Bus 8348 was out on 77 Belmont this afternoon. Buses 8239 and 8245 still have the 3 sticker in the windshield and were also on 77 Belmont this afternoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.cta85 Posted March 5, 2019 Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 Finally 8327 is in service currently on route 95. I was wondering what's was going on with that bus it's good to finally see it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's weird and did you know 11 years ago, I saw a few NF buses leaving 103rd Garage with "86 Narragansett" signs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sw4400 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2019 We're still missing 8346. Anyone seen it, it's not been seen on the bus tracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We already got the NW siders on the forum saying FG is the system stepchild. PLEASE do not put out scenarios that will increase that fuss. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 4 hours ago, Mr.cta85 said: Wait what?? ??? that's definitely weird lol. #8343 was never out at 103rd so how did that happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artthouwill Posted March 6, 2019 Report Share Posted March 6, 2019 11 minutes ago, BusHunter said: #8343 was never out at 103rd so how did that happen? Program glitch? Unlike Pace, all CTA buses have all CTA bus routes programmed . Back in the day, before electronic destination signs, if you saw a bus with a North Terminal, South Terminal, East Terminal, or West Terminal sign, chances were that bus was borrowed from another garage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr.cta85 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Share Posted March 8, 2019 I've noticed that the 8325's are mostly spent on the 95, 119, and 71. With a sprinkle of 28,15, and 106 lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised they aren't on the 29 more often, the 29 or the J14 is usually the route with the highest ridership at 103rd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also imagine a small part of what props up its numbers are Navy Pier riders from the north side getting off at Grand and taking whatever comes first.
