Because think about they are getting the remaining ZX5 Proterras from SS. So why is it that 3 8350s are at C, when they are gettting more ZX5s. It doesn’t make any damn sense. Those 3 8350s at C. Should go to 103rd first of all to begin with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geneking7320 Posted September 20, 2022 Report Share Posted September 20, 2022 I rode one yesterday on #95. I thought it interesting that I did not hear a "CLICK" when the driver unlocked the rear door when I exited. Is this true of all the Novas of this series?

Mr.cta85 Posted September 21, 2022 Report Share Posted September 21, 2022 I think I may have to go back to 103rd just to drive the new novas cause they’re starting to grow on me. Although I still love the flyers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcmetro Posted September 24, 2022 Report Share Posted September 24, 2022 The CTA Board approved purchase of the second contract option for 100 additional Nova buses, bringing the total to 300 now. The ordinance approving the purchase is linked below. There wasn't any discussion about the item at the meeting, it was approved alongside a number of other purchases. When the first option was approved it was said that the buses would be arriving in Fall/Winter 2022, so I would imagine that the 8550s will probably start arriving pretty soon after. https://www.transitchicago.com/file.aspx?DocumentId=9160 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I saw the agenda item, I thought that $7.5 million wasn't going to buy 100 buses (maybe $60 million would), but the ordinance explained that.
