All I can say is that for the J14, from OTC to Balbo, I spent more time on Michigan than I did on Washington. Even doing the 60 ive been late by the time I got t UIC it dony really help much Quote

Loop link are BUS LANE bus lanes Chicago ave BAT lanes allow business access parking (hence the BA in BAT) so you’re more likely to deal with people picking up an Uber or a doordasher grabbing food and double parked Quote

This one lady in the bike lane talkin about “it ain’t that serious” it woulda been serious if this bike hit you at 30 though ? Quote

Sam92 Posted April 21, 2021 Report Posted April 21, 2021 Well Navy piers reopening this year with fireworks which means tourism might spike up a tad bit within safe means of course but now that means NP and K might need some artics back to possible help social distancing on the related routes if cta doesn’t completely do away with capacity limits by then. Gonna be real fun for the bus assignment guys next week on how to balance between essential route space and space for new crowds coming back Quote
