Coming back southbound I got off at 47th thinking it was the PM route not realizing it was 9 am. I luckily didn't make the turn going westbound and got back on the Drive to continue south via the regular AM route, I apologized to my passengers that got confused by the ordeal. I was so use to doing the PM portion of the route my mind had a freeze moment. I had another incident while doing the 53A this past weekend at the 31st and Komensky terminal. As I tried leaving the terminal two motorists decided that it would be a smart idea to block both lanes of 31st street going eastbound to jump start a battery in a broken down pick up truck. I couldn't get through going eastbound so I had to go westbound towards kostner and when I tell ya the traffic was so backed up because of that i finally reached Pulaski nearly 12 minutes behind only to find out that those two motorists finally moved there trucks across the street from the terminal entrance and to make matters worse my next trip going south after that was halted by a 5 car pile up at the Stevenson expressway interchange. I've never seen that bridge that packed like that ever. Just traffic all over the place with no clear direction of where to go on the entrance/exit ramps. After I finally got through all of that I found myself 15 minutes behind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungBusLover Posted September 21, 2020 Report Share Posted September 21, 2020 I forgot to mention but if anyone ever rides #7900 and #7901 you might notice a few things different about them compared to the rest of the fleet. #7901 has a caution bus is turning announcement that plays when the bus is in the process of making a turn and I'd assume #7900 does as well. So be on the lookout for those two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted September 23, 2020 Report Share Posted September 23, 2020 I rode train 5130 on the Green Line today. There was an issue where the inside signs were stuck at 6:21 PM when I entered around 6:23 PM. At 6:27, the signs unfroze and then worked properly. At 6:30 PM, they stopped working and they were stuck and I exited at around 6:33 PM. I wonder what's up with this car, 5129 did not have the issues along with the rest of the train (5085/6 5095/6). Anyone know what's causing this issue? Also notice on the third photo, the sign on that side is not working both on the inside and outside, but the right side does work. Something's up with the signs on this train car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Usually by me that's a sign of low confidence that the bus will make it to where its going on it's own. Right now it's like driving the golden goose. Somewhere there gonna have to test the charging stations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was doing a trip down Pulaski myself, one of the weekend nights they had a bunch of street closures on 26th for mexican pride. Pulaski was closed at 24th. Had to go down Karlov and come back on 25th place. I didnt make one of the turns from Karlov to 25th place so I backed up. Got straightened out and away we go. Had a real close shave one day. A guy was landscaping and parked his truck on the side street I was going down. I wave my arms at him like wth? He tried to guide me but I looked and felt I could make it but it was a close shave about 6 inches between cars. I just went slow and got through, but when your that close you really have to worry about swinging your tail into something. If we get caught, we can radio for help or get the cops over there to get someone to move. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
