Many additions and updates are needed in the Chicago transit Authority roster. XE40 700 is now assigned to 77th garage with 701 and both units are currently active. These buses are exclusive to the Route 79 79th (with rare exceptions like the 4 Cottage Grove but that's rare). 701 is the main one used but one time last week 700 was out too.

Hi again, I was just doing some VIN work when I stumbled across this problem: http://www.cptdb.ca/wiki/index.php?title=Chicago_Transit_Authority_5800-5864_(1995) Correct me if I am wrong, but I think that the Sequence numbers 15747 to 15809 fit into the "S" VINs for the 1995 built buses. My thinking is that the first 2 are 1994s and the rest are 1995s. According to http://www.utahrails.net/ajkristopans/FLYER.php
