trainman8119 Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Pace only operates suburban bus routes. Metra handles the suburban rail service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buslover88 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Oh...who thinks Pace should have Train Lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetroShadow Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Train Lines on Pace = less Metra Metra is fine, so if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If you're talking about a Bus Rapid Transit, then that's allowable since it'll probably come up in the next 10-15 years. However, until that happens, don't fix whats already a stable format.

trainman8119 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 BRT...not all that crazy about it...but maybe my opinion will change in the coming years. Pace will never match the CTA in terms of service and know how, and therefore will never come close to Metra. All three are run by a bunch of boneheads. Working for 2 of the service boards, I can speak from experience. Pace is the wannabe of the 3 and seem to have the least capable management of the bunch. Metra tends to say one thing, but in the back room often says another. The CTA...well, once Frank is gone, maybe there will be something left.

Buslover88 Posted November 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 Well, me, I think PACE has been a wannabe (no offense to Pace fans) and since I use #270, there service is Slow. And I like Metra the way it is...but they should at least bulit one more line..to my house lol. And CTA...*shakes head at Frank*...there going down the drain with Frank as our president. After he's gone....maybe CTA will go back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 and since I use #270 If you're talking about a Bus Rapid Transit, then that's allowable since it'll probably come up in the next 10-15 years. One of the Niles papers had an article about Pace talking with the village about a possible BRT for 270/272. However, that wasn't on the transportation bill list, like 208, 322, and 364. 270 doesn't run on Diversey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buslover88 Posted November 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2005 Busjack, I know 270 doens't run on Diversey, but I take it sometimes on Milwaukee to Dempster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
