Don't know the answer to that. History would suggest a three digit series like maybe 400 series. Or they could go 6900s . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyerMCI Posted May 18, 2023 Report Share Posted May 18, 2023 Are there any updates to the 6 LSFe’s that CTA purchased? Looked for a topic in the bus page, but only found this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CTA usually diesn't reserve a big series for 6 buses. Maybe 8950 (similar to 5900-5902 and 7800). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 8950 (similar to 5900-5902 and 7800). If we are talking electric buses, particularly the 6 new Novas to come, I would guess they would get 3 digit numbers. That's what CTA did with the 700s ( New Flyers) and 600s ( Proterras). Since the 500s were 0ptimaa, that leaves 300s and 400s available. They could also go 550s. 750s, or 850s. I would expect 6900s before 8950s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell they can use the 500 numbers again since the 500's been retired since 2014-15 somewhere in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
