That is one ugly mess on that bus! I'll be sure to never ride it, no matter how bad the weather is! Same for the holiday train. I hate enforced & alleged merriment! 1 Quote

In other news, travelers riding home from work were treated to a nice surprise when the Holiday Train or Bus arrived. When asked about their faces filled with joy, they replied “We like having fun in our lives!” 1 Quote
Aiden Tabucic Posted November 28, 2018 Report Posted November 28, 2018 4374 is the bus for 2018 Quote
mel bernero Posted November 29, 2018 Report Posted November 29, 2018 Same graphics as last year, but it says Allstate instead of Jewel/Osco. Instead of a red nose, it has a green nose. 1 Quote

I'm assuming this is run as an extra, so are they using this bus on an "unscheduled" trip, or is the sign wrong? What's the van used for? To transport Santa and his helpers? Quote

It comes off of 92 from Kedzie/Foster to Jeff park just doesn’t show up on tracker then goes on the 56 Quote

NewFlyerMCI Posted December 3, 2019 Report Posted December 3, 2019 Is 4374 once again the holiday bus? I noticed that its assigned to Chicago, and running on the 66. Also, does "SN-" mean store on North? Quote

Sam92 Posted December 4, 2019 Report Posted December 4, 2019 1 hour ago, Mr.NewFlyer1051 said: what do all of them mean? Depends on the letter but they all mean that bus was stored midday either at lower randolph (SR), Navy Pier (SN), hickory (SH) or a return from south shops (SS). It basically cuts back on fuel by having one bus take multiple drivers back and forth between rush hours vs every single bus pulling in and out Quote
