Only way to describe it, it took several seconds for the bus to pull off and during that time it sounded like the bus would if it were on the highway 11 hours ago, Shannoncvpi said: 5527 was like that driver would hit the gas you hear the motor kick in the bus woukd take a few seconds to start moving once it started moving it would take off slow af took about a whole block for it to reach 20 mph I hated those 5300 series Flxbles. They were indeed slow on take off and even slower on inclines. I was once on a bus by 33rd and Kedzie and by the time we got to the top of that bridge, the bus was barely doing 5 mph.

NewFlyerMCI Posted July 26, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2020 SB J14, Balbo/Michigan. You’d think it was the end of rush hour. Bus driver only never skipped anyone (got full at Dearborn) except for whoever was at Columbus/11th (driver proceeded straight onto LSD from Balbo).

I'm not sure about now, but last night you couldn't sccedd Columbus or Lake Shore Drive from Roosevelt and Michigan. I couldn't see if Columbus was blocked, though WB WB traffic didn't seem to be affected The police had Roosevelt blocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last week they let my J14 and the 147 ahead of us drive into a march instead of sending us down Jackson to LSD or Balbo. Just today I caught the 151 from Union Station to take the J14 and they stopped the bus at Jackson & LaSalle, then the bus driver said he was going to State, and then taking that to Ohio before resuming the regular route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I figured it may be due to protests, but now we have more protests. People are protesting the removal of a Christopher Columbus statue from Grant Park. Will Columbus Drive get a new name next?

Why is that? 1472 was the bus in the video where the bus driver threw the passenger on the ground last month after the passenger asked the bus driver to continue his shift after talking with another operator.
