But what about 1748 and 1821? #1821 may not return from service after that deadly head-on collision on Madison and I have no idea about the whereabouts on #1748 Quote

andrethebusman Posted February 28, 2019 Report Posted February 28, 2019 Run number groups have not changed for several years now Quote
sw4400 Posted March 4, 2019 Author Report Posted March 4, 2019 8343-8349 are not showing up on tracker for Forest Glen. 1052-1058 are mostly not showing up presently(just two of them). So we might see some more swap action soon, unless FG is keeping these 6 in for some reason, likewise 103rd with the New Flyers(based on the lack of activity with both these groups of buses). NOTE: 8346 still has yet to be seen on tracker at all. This either has a nonfunctional tracker or is still yet to be in service and is at 77th. Quote

But I do believe 8343-49 will migrate south soon. Quote
Aiden Tabucic Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 Is 1400 part of FG now because I saw it today on 68 and now it’s on 80 and even couple weeks ago I saw it on FG territory Quote
Aiden Tabucic Posted March 7, 2019 Report Posted March 7, 2019 1400 1889 1895 1922 P>FG?? 1889 is on 77 Belmont and 1895 on 86 Quote

What do they expect,? Take away new buses give them not so new buses and have them still run really old buses. 18 years is a long time without a rehab. Quote

NewFlyerMCI Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 4198 on the 77. Too late to be a school trip, I think? Quote

It's a Kedzie run created by CTA last year by using artics from Kedzie that would have otherwise deadheading down Lake Shore Drive into downtown and along the Ike back to the garage after completing a final trip on the 156 that terminated at Belmont/Sheridan.

Yeah a few 143 and 134's too Quote
renardo870 Posted March 8, 2019 Report Posted March 8, 2019 It definitely helps with the crowds on Belmont in the PM WB between Sheridan and Kimball. I'm sure they could use more than the one trip in the AM going Eastbound That bus stays packed. Quote
NewFlyerMCI Posted March 10, 2019 Report Posted March 10, 2019 Anyone feel like the current red line arrangement is going to become permanent? Quote
Tcmetro Posted March 10, 2019 Report Posted March 10, 2019 There is still work being done at 95th, I doubt they will keep the current arrangement once it is finished. The reduced service to 95th has really made the Red Line on the South Side unreliable, infrequent (upwards of 10 mins between trains at the peak 8 am and 5 pm hours), and crowded. The few times I have taken a 63/Ashland Red Line in the peak direction, it has been almost empty - so I suspect that the extra service there hasn't improved ridership at all. Quote

Would there have been a difference if Red went to West 63rd only? Quote
