The new novas doesn’t begin with 8400-series, they are the 8350s and it’ll at least be another two years before delivery is completed. With the 8450s coming in at a higher speed than the base order. We could potentially see delivery of the 8550s sometime later this year.

Whenever they are done.  To this point,  CTA has received the base order of the first 100 buses.  They exercised the first two options for 100 buses each.  CTA has received almost all of the buses in the first option.  The second option will begin once Option 1 is complete.   There are three remaining options that CTA can choose to exercise with each option having 100 buses.  Ir could be another two or three years if CTA choice to wxercise all options.
