Upon closer inspections I can see the slight curve that makes more like a 128, but the bottom of the 2 is somewhat cut off making it resemble more like a 7. I hope the Bears aren't as lost as this bus appears to be. Just hope this driver doesn't have a stopover in Detroit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusOps Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 The 8350’s have a new pedestrian and collision avoidance system installed on them. Bus operators have to be trained first before they are put in service. Bus 7900 had been retrofitted with this system and training has begun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus 7900 is at Forest Glen right now for training. Been there for a few weeks. I also believe 103rd is being trained or has been trained. Eventually everyone of course will be trained system wide.

Why not just train on 8350??? So if a garage has completed training it can then receive the buses correct? Interesting FG was the 2nd garage.

Yhe training is probably geared towards the Collision Avoidance System moreso than the 8350s per se. I don't recall seeing anything else that differentiates the 8350s from the 7900s that would warrant training. I would probably guess that the Collision Avoidance would be retrofitted on all of the 7900s. 7900 is pretty much a training bus anyway, so it makes perfect sense to retrofit the system to it and use it for training.

YoungBusLover Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 So based on what @BusOps stated yesterday evening one can make the assumption of where the #8350s might end up once training has concluded if you get my drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or 103rd and fg has basically that model already in the 8325s. (But your probably right) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoungBusLover Posted May 26, 2022 Report Share Posted May 26, 2022 As many of us expected with limited becoming an issue at SS, I've started seeing some 8350s lined up facing NB in the eastern part of the boneyard this afternoon. I saw maybe at least 3 or 4 back there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are literally running out of space. I’d be surprised if they go into service before the fall pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
