#8418,#8419, & #8429 are at SS. They were delivered during the past week. #8402 should be somewhere around that herd of buses on the westside of the shops.

So over half of the base orderbhas been delivered and not one of these buses has seen revenue service.   Yo our knowledge,  only one of these buses was spotted on any street  ( Foster).  I guess the Collision Avoidance System is don't put the bases on the street. ?

If they can avoid collisions in the yard ??.

Also, that generally avoids being whacked in the side by a car driver violating a red light or a stop sign (typical for Chicago), but NovaBus advertised around 2000 that the side skirts could take that ?

Aw ok yea normally they start putting them into service

I found this video on YouTube and basically it showcases what the MTA started doing a few years ago in regards to the Collision Avoidance System. Pretty clear cut to what the 8350s have.

#8432 and #8433 are at SS.

So I just got to SS and to my surprise #8350 along with many other #8350s that were parked on the eastern edge of the boneyard have disappeared. There was about 7-8 total sitting lined up nose to tail sitting for almost a month. I wouldn't say that they might have been moved to FG or 103rd but it's clear that they're not here anymore.

#8430 & #8431 are at SS.

My guess is that they could be somewhere at 103rd.

Good deal, I was informed #8350 and #8384 are also up there as well. So connecting the dots it appears FG gave up 9 elderly #1000s with the looming delivery of #8350s.

Maybe a 50/50 split?  There'are enough byses for one garage to get 50 now and the other garage will have 50 in short order.

103rd and FG is doing the 50/50 split, I spotted #8354 at FG along with a few other #8350’s, I couldn’t get a chance to take a few shots because I had hurry up to get some gas on the way home before my car has to be hospitalized by a tow truck if I don’t make it to the gas station on time…lol

I am suspecting now that the evens are going to FG while the odds are going to 103rd. This will push more of the eldest 1000s to other garages, primarily K and NP.

8350-8400 to FG 8401-8449 to 103rd is my guess since 8384 is looming in the yard at FG or 8350-8399 FG and 8400-8499 to 103rd

You mean 8400 thru 8449 to 103rd.  8450 won't be here until next year.
