Like @YoungBusLover said, they were out just a few days ago. And with the CPS school year starting tomorrow, many FG routes will be busier than recent months. 1 Quote

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

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
Mr.NewFlyer1051 Posted September 4, 2019 Report 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 have no idea what the deal is Quote
Mr.NewFlyer1051 Posted September 11, 2019 Report Posted September 11, 2019 It’s been a.......FAT minute since I rode 8325’s here’s 8349 I’m on as I type running on 68 Northwest Highway Smells so good inside brand new ?? Quote

WCR Posted September 12, 2019 Report Posted September 12, 2019 For the first time in a while, all seven of FG's 8325's are in service at once (as of a couple minutes ago). 1 Quote

artthouwill Posted October 10, 2019 Report Posted October 10, 2019 3 hours ago, Chicago Transit Fan said: Chicago Transit Authority 8400-8499 This looks like click bait. 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
