Looks like 103rd might not get any of these first 100 buses. In fact, the majority of them may very well end up at FG. As for the rest, who knows?

Just weird they started at fg. That has never happened before. Well I was scanning some history on the #8325's and it was on the 4th day they all went to 103rd or at least three quarters. Guess what today is the 4th day of the #8350's. I might have to set up a drone and put fg on red alert if any funny business goes on tonight. I'm working on an in service list for the #8325's. Was surprised I didn't do that. Thank God for maths22. It goes back to the beginning. Some buses have no history like #8327 or #8333. I wonder why. #8327 might have only been out 3 times ever. It was out at fg though. But some buses like #8339 were always at 103rd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they needed to start at FG they deserved a chance at brand new buses cause they always get the run down ones so they needed the brand new ones & 8327 might be one of those buses that is always having issues didn't know 8333 was the same way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted August 5, 2022 Report Share Posted August 5, 2022 Rode 8370 on Harlem today, these novas are pretty nice imo. I hate the slowed down announcement spacing it's just not right in my opinion. I liked the engine noise and it had a brand new smell and I loved riding that bus overall.

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 8371 has some weird hissing noise when the operator accelerates a little faster. The hissing sound was pretty loud. Idk if that's normal but I don't like this hissing sound when it interferes with the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pulled up bus tracker it seems there most abundant on the 77 and 81 but then again the 81 was the first route I saw with the 8325s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re getting their last runs in before retirement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungBusLover Posted August 6, 2022 Report Share Posted August 6, 2022 I think I may of found the #8350 prototype that everyone was talking about. I saw this bus with different plates and factory decals on the windshield yesterday. This bus also doesn't have a farebox or ventra reader from what I could see briefly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NovaHater Posted August 8, 2022 Report Share Posted August 8, 2022 I have a quick question guy’s, did the CTA exercise the option for the full order of 600? I haven’t had a chance to go back through the thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
