Expand I mean your kind of wrong with that if you think about it FG got 10 flyers from C compared to 7 8325’s so FG will use those 10 buses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know why they're all lined up or why they've seldom been used in service recently, perhaps they will be traded off, happy to be wrong but right now it isn't really safe to say they won't be running any time soon. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.NewFlyer1051 Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 I don’t know what the deal is with 8343-8349 I caught it on 56 but not showing up on tracker so I’m guessing all of them are ghosting or are they still in the garage in the same spot just 8343 is out?

I haven't seen any RFPs posted. Also, if I am not mistaken, the original contract for Nova was for up to 450 buses, which CTA now has. There weren't any additional options beyond that. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
