Is it possible that another garage will start receiving new buses starting with 8500?  With 8500 - 8649, it's possible for two garages to get 75 buses each or less likely that three garages get 50 each.  I expect two garages with one being either 77th or 74th and one being a West Side garage ( C or K).

 

Honestly, I think 103rd and K will get that next batch you're referring to. 74th and 77th can go a while longer off of what they have currently. I've been checking our roster all year and nothing new minus #1197 has been added to our fleet at 77th.

@Shannoncvpi I guess you we're right about seeing an #8350 on a flatbed because look at what I saw this morning getting  unloaded at SS, #8487. ?

Like I surmised before, NovaBus may not have the manpower and/or finances to have hikers driving buses all over the country and then fly the hikers back to New York.  It nay be cheaper and more efficient to have flatbeds deliver the busses.  Hopefully that contractor isn't shortstaffed.

I think this may be related to something else because #8487 was initially delivered to SS on 3/9 of this year,  Although I do understand where you're coming from. As I'm typing this #8522 and #8530 were delivered to SS either late last night or earlier this morning.

all these buses hit service today

I'm surprised 8510 is at 103rd.   Is 103rd going to get rid of all its 40ft New Flyers?  I was expecting another garage to start receiving new buses.  At this rate we might have to surprised the 8550s possibly be the batch that gets assigned to another garage.

North Park, Kedzie and Possibly 77th might get elderly #1000s from 103rd because there at a surplus now.

They're just now starting today believe it or not. I think the bigger work plans will start later this spring going into the summer. Crews have already started chipping away at the viaduct wall where they have spray painted cut zones. So whatever work is needed I hope they repave the street lime they're doing on 71st from Cottage to State Street.
