We are up to at least 1444 at 103. Seen on Route 26 on 87th Street today.

The best time to see new deliveries of New Flyers arriving I would say would be saturday mornings coming in on I-90. On many occaisions I have spotted new deliveries heading to the east as well as Chicagos order.

Last Night around 12am, I've seen an 103rd New Flyer #1443 (Rt#15) as a 1st time on Stony Island southbound from 57th, While I was on my 1991 Flxible #5446 (Rt#28) to race to catch that bus for a passenger then made it by 65th beat that bus, I was laughing.

Then today at noon, I've saw an NP New Flyer #1437 (Rt#22) running Northbound on Clark by Division(Red Line).

That's odd, #1443 at 103rd Garage. Shouldn't that bus be at North Park because it's an odd numbered one.

You could try the #2 Hyde Park Express because I saw bus 1444 operating today as #2 at around 9:15 AM going southbound at State & Harrison.

This morning, I've saw 4 of New Flyers with Couple Archer Novas running on Rt. 26 on South side.

But I have a question, I've saw NF #1431 also on Rt#26 this morning, was that bus from Chicago Ave? And did they transfer more TMC #4600s from 103rd to 77th Garage, because I've seen more 4600s on #79 and 87.

New Flyer #1429 is the last Chicago one I think because #1430's at 103rd.

#1431 would be a North Park Garage New Flyer at this point unless you could've read the bus number incorrectly from a farther distance. About the 4600s, this would be a logical explanation (4600s from 103rd to 77th) because there have been no recent sightings of any 4400s getting scrapped from North Park or 103rd and 77th garage would be the way to go because remember, 77th transferred 11 New Flyers to North Park in March 2007 and a few 6400s to Chicago garage a while before that. 77th, however did not recieve any buses in return in any of these recent swaps. It seems that they are trying to get the bus total at 77th back at what it was at about a year ago. Also, remember that at this point no 4400s have retired unless they're in terrible condition and with the new New Flyers coming in to North Park and 103rd, a few TMCs from there have been going to 77th referring to qwantae's sighting of an increased number of 4400s on #79 and #87.

Also, please excuse me for not mentioning that 77th had also transferred a few 7500s to North Park. And once again recieved nothing in return. Another reason why 77th is now recieving 4400s from other garages.

I hope NF #1473 goes to N.P.
