Artics on the Move

[trainman8119]

I think the unusual part of it is that the 156 was with 7553, which should be a North Park bus (not Kedzie) and 147 with 7641 (which should not be unusual, since 7641 I think is a North Park artic that went there in the 3-track high intensity bus transfer) and 7646, which should be a Kedzie bus. Other than that, not unusual to see artics on these routes, in fact quite normal.

I did see 7646 up in Rogers Park about a week ago on the 147. This evening on the 147 in the same area I passed up 7660 on Sheridan Road around Chase. So it appears that some of the Kedzie artics are being moved up to North Park, for whatever reason. I guess there hasn't been enough money wasted lately, so it was time to shuffle some buses around.

===It looks as if an equal number of artics have been reassigned from NorthPark to Kedzie (7550-7569[?] in exchange for 7641-7660[?]). I'd assume that they're being shuffled between the two garages in order to balance out the cumulative mileage of each bus. It seems to me that the NABIs operating out of Kedzie see much less service overall than the ones at NorthPark.
