#8705 and #8714 have entered service out of FG, #8688 has arrived at SS. 

I don't think it was noted above, but for those of you complaining about 74th,  @maths22's tracker indicates that roughly 8699-8714 are at 74th:

Run History indicates that 8709, 8712, 8713 are still currently at FG.

Why are they’re sending 7900s to FG and sending out it’s newest equipment? Makes absolutely no sense. 

CTA has historically done mileage swaps, especially involving 77th, including New Looks between 77 and NP, 5300s from 103rd for 4400s from 77th.

Someone in Bus Ops has some sort of plan, and it isn't (despite the implications from some posters) that FG gets 250 8350s.

That wasn’t an accident, kids on Austin have been throwing concrete pillars at buses coming underneath the viaduct at Bloomingdale’s. It’s been three buses so far

That’s crazy, have the other two buses been repaired? 8379 was the only one they parked on the street side. Do you know if 8376 was involved in the same incident as I saw that bus in the dead line and the last route operated was the 91. I see the pillar in the third picture I took but I didn’t think too much of it until you told me.

Yep that’s the other one

They're still doing that? I thought they were rerouting around that area since last Thursday.

I think those got noted in the More Bus Moves CTA thread as a number of those were DNC shuttles that were briefly at FG if they were in service before the convention.
