Random CTA

[Policeman]

I've noticed that some buses on cta maths say N87-791, but the run number on the bus is completely different (Don't even try to say they can't get the run number because it's private info)

Well it’s the truth that the site can’t pull and display the run. Maths shows the VEHICLE block so you’re never going to see a bus on maths match it’s run number. The vehicle block ID is showing where the bus itself spends most of its time so you can have an 82-501 be driven by an operator with run say P802 then he gets relieved by run P830 but because it’s the same bus the block ID is the same. If these were actually run numbers then that means cta is seriously breaking labor laws with some of these blocks IDs showing up For the whole day

Since that bus was pulled out the night before as a night car the block ID will sometimes stay the same in some cases even though it's suppose to change the following day. When the next night car comes out that ID will switch over to the next bus that it gets used on. I had that same bus last night and the block ID changed on it after about 7 or 8 PM which was still run 23 at the time. Block IDs will always remain the same but the run numbers will change at least 3 to 4 times a day depending on the street that bus may get used on.

Yeah that block ID was the run that was mine along with the run I made a relief to.

Rode 8300 today and saw these new seats in the rear. They are different from the ones in 8200-49. 

Here's another picture of another one of those new seat covers right next to the stairwell in the back.

This picture above was taken in 8275 and this has the same seats to but in the bottom section I saw two of them.

Like 1-2 hours before an event. Load and go every few minutes for up to an hour after it ends

True, the other 5 garages that have the #7900s I think theirs haven’t got any seats updated, if CTA does rehab them soon I guess that’ll be a game changer for them.

The far back section of the seats on #8300 in the first photo, they should color the plastic around the fabric covers from white to blue like the far back section of seats on the Flyers, that’ll make the back section of the #7900s and #8325s look good, they should do that to all of the current #7900s, #8325s and the #8350 prototype and the rest of upcoming #8350s in the new bus order it’ll look good.

Idk if they'll do that it does look good but IMO the black ones to me are better
