In this one instance, in terms of not starting off a totally new series of fleet numbers, you are technically correct. Technically CTA could have started the 2022 Novas off with 8400 to make it more clear they're a different series from the 7900s. Instead, they began the series off with the very next fleet number behind the last 7900. Therein lies the confusion. But they are indeed a different series of buses since they put out a request for bids and awarded a separate contract than the 7900s. The fact that these very well could have been Xcelsiors had New Flyer been the lowest bidder, as some of us hoped, tells you that these are a different series.

jajuan Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 My own first in person sightings of 8350s: 8398 on the 84 (the rear shot) and 8361 on the 206 just before it left Howard terminal. Sorry for the crappy angles, but I had to hurry up and snap 8398 before it pulled away from the bus stop and 8361 was about to leave right when the 147 I was on was pulling into the terminal ?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajm522 Posted August 16, 2022 Report Share Posted August 16, 2022 I have noticed with the new Novas is the digital screens don't work, they show the map of the bus but not the arrival times. It just says either this bus is off route or is having a connection issue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I saw of other transit enthusiasts' videos 8371 seems to be the only one with that hiss/buzz during acceleration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully none of the other buses have it because then that will ruin my reputation or these buses and I would prefer a different replacement than these Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 #8355"s destimation signs stopped working. I was wondering why I haven't seen it and #8350 is in the deadlot. Hasn't been out since the 17th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
