It takes way more than these responses to get me going!! But it does seem almost every post I make, regardless of the content, some on here cant hack it! So they feel they have to get defensive and in a couple of instances Ive been insulted on here! Im way better than that! I wont waste my time! I was an experienced operator myself, my dad was nearly 30 year veteran of CTA. I know how this agency operates and they dont always play with a fair deck. Im not some outsider. Ive been out there, Ive taken the verbal abuse and dealt with the bad traffic and weather conditions. I have scars of my own!!! I know what I know from what Ive observed and experienced! So dont anyone lecture me here! But oh well! Ill just continue to post my opinions and thoughts I guess and If you dont like what I have to say, you dont have to respond or insult!! Im respectful of others thoughts and opinions here. I may not always agree but I let people have their say and I should expect the same courtesy. If you dont like what i have to say.....Then Just Keep Scrolling or Just Move On! I wish some members on here would act a little more civilized and let people speak their minds! 13 hours ago, CTA5750 said: Thank You!!! I will say whatever I want to say!

BusHunter Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 7 hours ago, artthouwill said: I wish the towing industry would be investigated and regulated. These companies have contracts with various stores, strip malls, and apartmenr/townhome complexes. They actively and aggressively seek cars to tow. Some even have cameras installed in various lots looking for a person not patronizing a particular store to walk off the property. Not long ago I was a victim. I wasn't aware from the car 2 minutes. The tow truck driver towed the car. I tried to catch him but he sped off down a back road, never turning on any lights until he knew he clearly got away. The way he operates was more like a thief. I could wr,but I think drivers either get paid by the tow or get bonuses for executing a certain number or monetary amount of towa, hence the aggressive driving I've seen cars towed because a car was parked on the line if the neighboring handicap parking space. Really? SUVs and large Van's are even more lucrative. S &S towing is definitely one of the most thirsty and dirty tow companies ever. They patrol the Western suburbs of Cook and DuPage counties. If you see them as the towing company listed for where you are parked, have your it's dotted, it's crossed, and your ducks in a row . They tried to charge me for two days when they didn't have my car for barely more than 24 hours. I can't remember the name of the company bear 167th and Pulaski, but they are the south side version of S⁸& S. s Yeah tow companies are like vultures.You should see when theres an accident, to get to it they drive like there the police. No regard for the law. They really need cameras on these vehicles to watch these guys cause most are crooked. There's even one on the NW side that puts a gigantic badge on the side of there trucks to make it look like they are the police. Any police like shield should be banned that's misleading to the public. As far as shady parking lots, the Mcdonalds at Jefferson Park uses denver boots and boots your car if your in the lot illegally, or so they say. I was shocked to see that. Better off to park on the street. But really do your car activities in the suburbs, it's must less hostile and they don't have ticket bandits walking around.

I believe cta policy is use the bike racks at your own risk, but they wouldn't be liable anyway. Looks like a case of turning the corner too fast. SUV's are a flipover hazard. I was scanning the net and came across the bus that went into the bank. Found out that was #1925. Alot of cars when there is no traffic drive faster. the bank accident was at 4am. the 79th and damen early morning. Don't get what the rush is for.

I always thought East 79th was bad enough, but these past couple of months proved West 79th is almost equally as bad It's just getting a bad rap right now. 63rd can be pretty hardcore too. They were over there protesting at the police station the other day and I dont care for the corners where the L stops on east 63rd. Always a crowd there. One of my routes goes down 79th. It doesnt seem too bad. Got to see St Sabina. Best looking church on the south side outside of hyde park. Only problems I ever had over there on uber were at the housing projects around 87th and the east end. Had a guy get in my car holding a baby, child custody thing. Guess he was taking the child from mama. I had the police stop me from leaving. They asked me who I was. I felt like telling them I was the getaway driver jokingly cause in a way I was but I figured I shouldn't joke around so I said I'm uber. So it was cool. But the guy had to hand the baby over and then he was ranting to me. I tried to pacify the situation but I'm thinking dont mess up my car cause your mad. He got out and I was done with that neighborhood. But I've been back over there since. Just a bad experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 They have a live video link to the 79th/Damen accident. All I can say is that operator must go to church. the light pole caught the suv and the other car missed the bus. Incredible, but not so incredible for a cta mobile truck that was sitting alongside the bus!! https://abc7chicago.com/cta-bus-crash-several-injured-mult-vehicle/6334401/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
