X81 starts next pick 🤫 But on a serious note it's a shame Lawrence was knocked down to one lane. With it being further north an X81 can do what 80 did but with a chance to transfer sooner for far north riders. Plus Lawrence seems to have a lot of corridors that people can connect to commercially and for the ride to O'Hare without having to go all the way south to switch trains 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until Sheridan Red becomes a ADA accessible station, buses should serve Addison or Wilson station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NP has a new 8350 in service, one which was reported in the 8350 thread. It's presumably one out of the bunch that left SS Friday night which @YoungBusLover hypothesized would be for NP or FG. If anything, at this point NP would probably be able to further knock down what remains of its option 3 and 4 NF buses without taking on that many more lower option ones displaced by 8350s from elsewhere.

If CTA is smart they would split up what's left of the option 3/4 #1000s and have them reduced to AM/PM rush service only. As wild as that idea may sound they're not getting any younger in regards to rusting that is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My only complaint is the step getting removed on the novas for the new farebox. That will take something use to. I nearly fell 5 different times forgetting that it wasn't there anymore. 😅 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I nearly fell 5 different times forgetting that it wasn't there anymore. 😅 That makes sense now. They’re also replacing the poles where the ventra is to give better clearance to the fareboxes. Looks like forest glen is mostly finished up with the farebox installation at this point, I haven’t seen a bus with the old farebox down at FG for two weeks now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
