I didn't realize you were referring only to the white ones, as you clarified immediately above. Thus, I have to amend: On 11/17/2018 at 9:20 AM, Busjack said: Not enough cuts there to wipe out about 70 buses (including white NABIs still around). Would be enough to retire 10. Except I also have to amend On 11/17/2018 at 9:20 AM, Busjack said: 362 (1 bus) That's a CNG and not going anywhere. However, with regard to 19 hours ago, BusHunter said: Eldorkos couldn't help wipe those off the radar? As I indicated above, they sure could, as they could go over to NW and be reinstated on routes like 230, 234 and 696, and some 40 ft buses then get transferred to W.

Exurban services always take a hit on Saturdays. The question is which routes perform worse than others; and at least there’s 533 service to cover the Walmart.

On 10/14/2018 at 9:28 PM, Busjack said: The Orland Square TC is probably similar to Golf Mill, as 364, 379, 832, and the On Demand all terminate there. Having seen a 379 with a HERION/WHEELER via ORLAND SQ sign today, which you mentioned here, more likely to replace that terminal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you saying you think the new facility would be on Herion Street, rather than the mall property? I would think Pace would prefer to negotiate with the mall to come up with a more permanent solution. I'm sure that space can be made for a passenger facility in one of the mall's rarely used parking lots, most likely the southeast one. The current configuration shortens the layover time too much for buses to get back on schedule in many cases, so I think Pace would want to keep buses closer to the mall.

That's the inference I got, or why would the setup be essentially the same as at Yorktown (bus stop at the mall, but layover at Branding/Finley)? Yorktown kicked the layover off mall property, and I assume similar happened here. Pace had to get an agreement with the new owner of Golf Mill to build the Pulse station there. Also, from your 2 year old picture, it doesn't look like there is any drivers' restroom there, which is one of the reasons there is a phase 2 construction project for the Toyota Park TC, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CircleSeven Posted March 9, 2019 Report Share Posted March 9, 2019 Posted on the website's main page, it looks like the four remaining bus routes will be eliminated after April 1. The Saturday service of the #504 will be eliminated April 6. But the Saturday service of the #209 Busse, and weekday only services of the #304 Cicero-LaGrange & #326 Irving Park is listed as "TBD in June".
