How C gone mess em up badly the novas we got from C was in pretty good shape compared to the 79's we had go from 7

It don’t make sense to why C is getting the 8350s. 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.

They're probably just temporary loans, no need to get over dramatic. There have been buses getting loaned all over the place in recent weeks.

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.

Thanks for the link to the ordinance. 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.
