andrethebusman Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Two more reroutes effective 12/20: 14-Jeffery Jump SB via Washington-Michigan 124-Navy Pier NB via Canal-Washington-Michigan-S Water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jajuan Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 I was running through the links that work for the advance winter pick schedules (some links still don't work) and I happened to find that it looks like the #48 is going to be cut back to 87th/Damen terminal. No more service to the vicinity of the former Evergreen Plaza is reflected. Guess someone at CTA got the same idea that some here on the forum had that service south of 87th no longer made as much since the mall has been gone for quite some time now. I didn't realize that Andre made a winter pick change thread so I moved my post here and will delete my thread that had this original post.

Busjack Posted December 15, 2015 Report Share Posted December 15, 2015 Maybe not a change, but as I noted with regard to X9, various schedules have W only trips and other weekday trips, such as 7, 12, and 15, which specifically says school days only.* What happens on Wednesday that the schools let out at a different time ______________ *Also has the usual "additional service on school days" box.

And the #95W will be terminating at 87th/Damen as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the right to turn around on the property ended, and south 0f 87th is overserved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine that a connection between maintained between those routes being that important in CTA management's minds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question, I wonder how the WB 95W destination signs are gonna look like starting sunday since they'll be going to 87th/Damen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcmetro Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 7 schedules have been updated to show the EB detour on Morgan and Jackson. No new 60 schedule to show the detour or the Loop Link adjustments. IDOT emailed me back, and told me that the Halsted and Harrison bridges will reopen "spring" 2016. At that time the 7 and 60 will return to the normal routing. Also surprised that no new 124 schedule is being published despite the route change.

BusHunter Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Should have asked them how long this Addison - Oak Park - Belmont - Austin over the regular route reroute is going to last. It's adding 30 minutes to the Addison commute. I know all those operators are late. The CTA website had said 12/14 service would be restored, but no dice. Harlem actually beats it by 15 minutes if you go Harlem/Addison to Harlem/Blue to Addison/Blue versus a #152 Harlem/Addison to Addison/Blue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

renardo870 Posted December 18, 2015 Report Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Well, it seems to be a few changes with a few routes along with the addition and return of X9 Ashland Express and X49 Western Express routes... J14 Jeffery Jump will return back to its SB routing EB on Washington between Jefferson and Michigan and SB on Michigan from Washington to Monroe and continue on its regular route. 48 South Damen will end all trips at 87th/Damen terminal and 95W West 95th will extend from 95th/Western to 87th/Damen via 95th, Western, 87th to 87th/Damen terminal...due to no service to the former Evergreen Plaza site. 108 Halsted/95th no school trips from Hegewisch to Carver Academy. Edited December 18, 2015 by renardo870 correct spelling and add full name of bus route 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tcmetro Posted December 25, 2015 Report Share Posted December 25, 2015 I was paging through some schedules. A new 124 schedule was published for the 12/20/15 service change and the 60 has a schedule dated 11/25, showing the EB detour routing on Morgan and Jackson.

Yeah 124 got an updated schedule to reflect EB buses returning to Washington to take advantage of the Loop Link lanes. It just never had a service notice link on the advance schedule page like other updated routes for whatever reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I don't like the fact that it terminates at 63rd/King Drive during OWL serivce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I think he meant the fact that the owl routing is shortened back to only going as far as Washington/State once again except this time under modified routing. Yeah it's been going there for owl service since CTA first established Washington/State as the downtown bus terminus for downtown routes during owl periods in the mid-1990s. But in recent years prior to the current winter pick N4 buses were going to the day/evening Columbus/S. Water terminus first and doing a layover before going to Washington/State via the Randolph, State, Washington routing that N4 to Washington/State service was first introduced with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
