Why do some novas have their engine doors open are they being inspected? (6870, 6861, 6862 side door, 6770) 2. I saw something on 6706's seat did you see what that was? 3. Since 6875 is sitting in the area where active buses are, is that one ready to return to service? 4. Wow I didn't know 1008 was out for that long (it was last out in January before those big snowstorms) Expand I just went back & looked at the video that looks like a on board tool back under 6706 sear Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewFlyerMCI Posted April 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2021 Thinking about it, CTA generally names its routes for the streets they serve, not the areas they run through (except for express routes, which either go by name or a combination of name & street). I find it funny that the 97, a local route, is the 97 Skokie, despite being on Oakton for the majority of the route and barely spending any time on Skokie Blvd. Other routes that break this naming convention 1: This is a recent change, as previous iterations of the route went by street names 54A: Hybrid name btwn street & area served 71: This one is happenstance, as South Shore Dr appropriately runs through South Shore 111A: Special case 115: See 54A 124: Is named for the destination it serves instead of area 130: see 124 157: Is now a hybrid name, but before was one of the few local route other than the 97 that went by neighborhood name 171/172: see 54A 206: see 111A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
