As of today #8350 parked along the 79th Street fence near the pull in entrance, I didnt see anymore 8350s on the property but I'll keep tabs on it as time goes along.

Bet I hope they end up at 77

I'm wondering if kedzie might get the new buses first. If you think the 8325s are like bookends far north and far south but theres nothing in the middle. They could shuffle around some buses making a newer pool at fg or 103rd. 103rd will probably get some too eventually.

I’m guessing that too what if Kedzie get the new Novas first to shuffle some Flyers around.

Something is going to have to give for that to happen. In all honesty Kedzie getting some first wouldn't make the most sense they have a decent fleet age over there versus the Glen and 103rd.

Concerning the first batch,  I doubt it since the short term goal is to retire the 6400s.   With subsequent options, 103rd, K, and NP, which historically haven't been Nova garages,  could very well be recipients of the new Nova buses.  That way,  every garage would have some Novas like every garage currently has New Flyers.

Took my bus over to #8350 and checked it out. It really has 8350 as the fleet number!! I thought maybe you guys were assuming. That's weird only Pace goes in numerical order. Maybe they finally have the AC sorted out

Is it sitting near the 79th street fence?

How many buses are in this order again? This is the first 400 to replace the shoeboxes right?

100 have been ordered so far from what I remember.  The entire base order of 600 are going to replace the #1000s. Now I'm still holding judgement on how there retirement will actually go but I honestly think they'll be at random.
