jajuan Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I saw a Nova yesterday with the rear route # sign saying "WXYZ" LOL That's funny. Maybe a preschooler was at work....to clear up the confusion about what the current east terminus of 12 Roosevelt is, 16th/Indiana is where the route ends not 18th/Indiana as shown on the current timetable. The system map and Bustracker are correct. I rode the bus from there one day to verify where the route actually ends. The buses have a layover spot just before the Dunkin Donuts that's sitting right at the corner of 16th/Michigan. So Busjack, 16th/Indiana isn't an arbitrary timepoint on the schedule. The route really does end there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sht6131 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 I saw a Nova yesterday with the rear route # sign saying "WXYZ" LOL The spelling of KIMBALL on the 82 has been KIMBAL for some time now. Maybe not enough space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nflyer22 Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 The spelling of KIMBALL on the 82 has been KIMBAL for some time now. Maybe not enough space. Kind of makes me wonder how they manage to fit the 2nd portion of the current 22 northbound destination sign: 22 CLARK [flip] 22 TO HOWARD RED LN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArcherRider Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 They should do something about the #148 NB destination sign because the route does not go to Damen/Lawrence anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwantae Posted February 27, 2009 Report Share Posted February 27, 2009 Since they eliminate the Douglas Blue Line: They still didn't fix the #N60 destination sign to change it to PINK LINE. It still shows: N60- BLUE ISLAND/ 60 "TO 54/BLUE LINE" They should just change it to "54/ Cermak" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Busjack, 16th/Indiana isn't an arbitrary timepoint on the schedule. The route really does end there.It looks like the map on the schedule was changed. Now, if it actually turns back on 16th, no complaint. But, if it sits at 16th and then turns back at 18th, as previously indicated, the extremity of the route is 18th. Again, it looks like to retroactively prove the point, I would have needed to archive all schedules, but I am not going to do that.I saw a Nova yesterday with the rear route # sign saying "WXYZ" LOLMaybe an advertisement for the Detroit TV station.They should just change it to "54/ Cermak"Especially because the train doesn't run then (the purpose of the bus being to cover the area not served by the train at night).

As I rode a northbound #1 Indiana-Hyde Park bus this morning a saw the westbound #12 Roosevelt bus laying over on the northside of 16th Street between Michigan and Indiana.

No it lays over at 16th and then heads back to Roosevelt. When I rode the bus mentioned, I rode it from 16th/Indiana. Another 12 had turned from Indiana onto 16th right behind it as I was boarding. That pretty much confirmed that 18th was not accurate. 16th is the correct terminus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 Ad for the Detroit TV station? At least it isn't the Christmas Trees that were frequent when the Novas were new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
