Getting stripped for parts would be my assumption.

The damage doesn't look to bad but this will definitely sideline this bus for a good while.

This kinda reminds me of the damage of #4167, ever since that bus killed a lady and was damaged at the scene it hasn’t returned ever since, it was only 6 years old at the time though. I’ll give it a slight doubt due to it being 14 years old.

Ye 4115 has been at Chicago. The earliest of maths history (2016) shows it was at Chicago around that time.

If this is like a mini report honestly the bus involved should be back soon.

This is like the 2nd time in a few weeks I've heard about buses getting hit by cars leaving terminals.

I think it's amazing that there aren't more accidents,  especially at terminals where the bus has to cross the street to turn out of the terminal.  Jefferson Park terminal is pretty bad and there's no traffic light there.

On Torrence,  I think the speed limit is 35 but with to traffic lights to 130th or 126fh, people clearly speed along that stretch since it's a great alternate to the Bishop Ford.

[Tcmetro]

CTA should definitely consider working with CDOT to add traffic lights at terminals. I can only imagine that was one of the main reasons for discontinuing use of the Cicero & Archer terminal.
