I saw 8793 on a NP route. I thought, "didn't I see that about 55 years ago?
 Well, yes and no.

What is it about the 2 that 77th likes to break in these new Novas on this route?

I mean I'd kinda do the same. 2 isn't a sleepy route but it's not the 4 either so if it can handle a somewhat busy route that runs on a highway I'd be a bit more confident to move it to an all day block. If any slight issues arise then the bus isn't gonna be out for long since it's a peak only route so you can troubleshoot any kinks.

Well seeing as the bus entered service for the PM rush around 3 PM, it appears that again there were no buses available at 77th so #8901 got the go ahead to enter on the 2. A lot of runs on the 2 pull out between 3 and 4 PM when 77th is low on buses so they'll take whatever is available from there own shops or anything released by SS that hasn't been picked up by other garages.
