One thing I think we missed (or at least I missed) is the temporary reroute of the 6 via Columbus, Randolph & Stetson is also shown on the map 

I don't think that reroute is temporary.   Baxk in the day, the route was South Water (now Wacker Place), Wabash, and Wacker Drive.  Wacker Pl isn't really too narrow to stage buses. If the intent was to use the end of Upper Wacker for a turnaround, the new high rise at the end of Wacker eliminated that option    Keep in mind that residents will complain about exhaust   i think this current routing works well and I actually think it's permanent.

I thought they moved it because of the construction taking place at the end of Wacker where the buses usually turned around. If this is the new routing, why not send the bus straight down Randolph and making a left onto State as opposed to coming all the way back up to Wacker?

I was on the CTA website looking at the newest version of the CTA map dated July 2024, and I see that the X4, X9 and X49 now have their own "X Route" category and are now being identified on the map and in other newer CTA documentation and communications by a hollow green box around the route number instead of the previous red that is still used for the other CTA express routes. Also the upcoming extension of the 9 Ashland local buses is mentioned in the service change update box but isn't yet reflected on the map due to not being effective at the time of map publication.

There is a Jan 2026 version of the map that shows all of the Frequent Network routes, along with changes to the 19, 75, 81W, 93, 120, and 121. It also shows the 125 on Jefferson (with all the other routes on Canal).

It still incorrectly shows the NB 157 on Canal, even though it now takes Jefferson from Taylor to Washington.

Just how many more years is that work under Canal at Union Station going to take before they reopen Canal?

The section between Adams and Harrison will probably be fully complete in Summer 2026. Work started between Madison and Adams, I could see that stretching into 2027. Harrison to Taylor is supposed to be rebuilt as well but nothing has started yet.

So, another decade at least?

Oh boy. The cartography department needs an editor! The 66 detour is shown on the primary map, but not the downtown inset, and the 8 detour isn't shown at all. And Racine lacks the wheelchair accessibility symbol.

Shouldn't 7, 60, 157 and 125 all be showing on Jefferson to whatever they take to the east terminal?
