[The man] said he was trying to catch a bus at 159th Street and 94th Avenue - a little more than two miles away, police said. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor will they, as there's no need for Pace to duplicate CTA rail service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can do this. I did this in order to get to the Blue Nose Brwy. in Hodgkins with only two transfers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But not with the 330; I use it to ride the #250 Dempster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before Pace became a reality, each garage was its own company with different unions, rates of pay, etc. Though now under the Pace umbrella, each garage still has its own rate of pay, union representation, etc. There's even one garage with no union. (Moved out of CTA 7900s topic) Which garage has no union? North? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised Pace would get away with taking work away from a union. If NS were contract operated yes, but NS is Pace operated, isn't it? When 215 and 213 were moved there, I would think 1028 would have made bitch about this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dawnlight Posted August 13, 2019 Report Share Posted August 13, 2019 I notice Pace 290 now displays "CUMBERLAND CTA" instead of "CUMBLD CTA". Is Pace doing away with abbreviations? I noticed they also did this to Route 213 "HIGHLAND PARK" instead of "HIGHLAND PK" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyerMCI Posted September 28, 2019 Report Share Posted September 28, 2019 Does anyone know why the 331 doesn't serve Forest Park and the southern portion south of Madison or Roosevelt isn't covered by another route? Are there consistent transfers to/from Metra at Maywood & Brookfield I'm just unaware of? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

South of there, the 322 serves the Pink Line. Most people south of there use the Metra BNSF. As has been stated by others, the 301 (Roosevelt), 303, 310, 317, and 320 (Madison) all serve the Forest Park Terminal. The 309 and 313 serves the Green Line, and the 318 serves both the Green Line at Harlem and the Blue Line at Forest Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess what my actual question was, why isn't the 331 two separate routes: split in pairs at 5th & Roosevelt? And was this because of established riding patterns I was unaware of (such as consistent transfers to/from Metra, riders who need Hines/Loyola, so on & so forth)? I was just wondering why I route that long didn't have a direct CTA connection on it's southern end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
