renardo870 Posted February 22, 2017 Report Posted February 22, 2017 Is there any information on the when the spring bus pick is and what it entails? Thank you. Quote
Busjack Posted March 16, 2017 Report Posted March 16, 2017 Updated timetables are posted, effective March 26. Only thing I pursued is that 28 trips that ended at Madison Wacker still end at Madison Canal. Quote

I assume the Adams/Canal termination continue on Adams and then return to 103rd via 90/94. Quote
busfan2847 Posted March 17, 2017 Report Posted March 17, 2017 There is something wrong with the timings on the 157 timetable. Buses are given 4 minutes to get from Randolph/Michigan to Taylor/Halsted and 16 minutes in the other direction! 4 minutes is totally impossible (Google Maps makes it 12 minutes without traffic).

That's cause they are going to try out the new Jetsons prototype!! Lol!! In reality someone goofed at scheduling. They are going to have to change this one. At least if they didn't know they'll know now and fix it. Quote

It also must mess up the rest of the schedule as that Taylor-Halsted to Pink Line is consistently 8-10 minutes in each direction. Also @busfan2847's message indicated that I had a brain phart, as I should have said Adams. Quote

Chestnut/Lake Shore to Halsted/Taylor is 31 minutes in current timetable and 28 minutes in the new one for a similar timed journey (7:03 or 7:04). I am not sure they can save 3 minutes in that stretch! Looks like the westbound timing point labelled Randolph/Michigan in the new timetable is either Jackson/Clinton or Clinton Blue Line! Quote

I am not sure they can save 3 minutes in that stretch! I did it column by column. But, anyway you cook it, it doesn't seem like the time can be met. The Adams St. bridge outage didn't enter into it either. But maybe they think the Loop Link will support hypersonic speed.. Quote

Yeah they mislabeled something there because there's not way it takes almost a half hour to get to Michigan/Randolph from the Chestnut/Lake Shore even with rush hour traffic. But they did manage to get the overall time to Halsted from Chestnut correct as you noted. Interesting enough they have the short trip timings correct in that those trips marked M, which the notations say start at Madison/Wacker, are shown to take nine minutes to reach Halsted from the Madison/Wacker start point as the current schedule show to be the case.
