garmon757 Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Alright folks, I don't know what the hell is going on but we got #1384, #1789, #1875, #1877, and #1899 popping up on Forest Glen routes #91, #77, #152, #54A, and #80 respectively. Also, #1998 has switched from #91 to #54A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BusHunter Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 Maybe someone feels sorry for them. New buses may be in town but fg still doesn't have any in service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it seems like it were some kind of temporary help because they just went back to North Park except for #1789 currently on #80 this morning. Also, #1929 and #1934 just came back to Chicago after almost a week of a field trip at Kedzie. However, 77th's #1225-27 are operating Kedzie's routes #35, #126, and #60 respectively.

I know it's a pain, but you've shown yourself to be a resourceful guy in staying safe when on the south side as evidenced by all the photos of south side bus tracking that you've contributed and shared with us over the years. And gladly and thankfully you're still here to share some of your crazy antics like our other resident bus hunter of that very name who also gets around the city to show us interesting things going on with CTA and the other two local transit services. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed.... garmon, you do so much to get the shots you get of the buses wherever they may be(even as far south at South Shops, maybe even the junkyard at 95th/Ewing). Even though I've fired you many times for subpar photos(I mean Mr. McMahon.... ), your work overall has been terrific. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be the school tripper run that Kedzie took over at the start of fall pick if I remember it correctly. It starts at Juarez High School at Cermak and Ashland and operates SB to 63rd. Then it heads to the Ryan and deadheads into downtown for PM rush service on one of Kedzie's express runs I believe, though I can't remember whether Andre said it was 134 or 143.

andrethebusman Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 However, since the vast majority of what was promised for the south side won't happen until the September pick, that is a long way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
