YoungBusLover Posted January 26, 2021 Report Share Posted January 26, 2021 Welp time for another game of Russian roulette in regards to pulling a bus out. Right now there's at least 15 operators waiting to receive a bus to pullout for the PM shift and a lot artics weren't being put out for obvious reasons. I had to pull in #4033 after the kneeling function started having issues along with not having an operable horn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 79th at 79th and Western) that could be a possibility. I'm not suggesting that a bus running the full route charge at a short turn, but short turns should have charging stations too.

If I'm being honest both can run for up to 12 hours a day if not longer because after seeing #701 on cottage for most of the day a few weeks ago shows me that the route there on doesn't matter its more so about not over working the only available electric equipment you have on deck. #700-#701 rarely get put on block runs and usually get swing runs that don't go over 4 hours in most cases, Cottage grove though was an odd ball. As more #600s have started to roll in we'll see more activity with both series hopefully across the system and perhaps give better feedback towards future endeavors.
