Unusual for a bus to chill out there?  Especially when that bus isn't running in Ashland    To mt knowledge there aren't any Ashland short turns on the 76 or 152. Were you heading NB OR SB in Ashland?

It's an Iron worker transport, you'll see those work buses parked along many locations under L structures and at stations.

@YoungBusLover the next time you get 1235 right not far behind the door open switch I wrote on the panel with a perm marker it says Yo cause I firgured y'all a come take that bus when I wasnt there so when you see it you know I was there the last time I had it 

You’re allowed to write on that?

Yeah it's indeed a workbus for sure. I'd say the last couple of years now if my memory is correct. I remember when #6712 was the north side work bus from years past around 2017 or so. 

Lemme guess since CTA is soon getting ready to demolish one side of the tracks north of Belmont and between Cornelia avenues we could definitely get a chance to spot any of the Novas transporting iron workers to the scene if I can remember correctly.

It didn't happen :) what a bunch of idiots

Well we don't know that yet, I get there cause but to make that kind of suggestion to us to help them out was a bit extreme. Over this past month we've seen more kids and teens shot and killed and they haven't made any noise to the point where they would want to stop the violence in the inner city. Van Dyke will get his one way or another but for those activists to attempt to use the 241 and 308 as a pawn for there agenda is just disrespectful especially when were going through our own stuff everyday with the public in general. I don't remember seeing them support us when we had our rallies in the last few years.

Just a way for activists to get on the news without accomplishing anything. Since it was announced that CTA and ATU came to agreement, any strike now would be illegal. Unlike whatever CTU did, anything here would be totally unrelated to working conditions, and hence  also illegal. Any drivers on this forum want to lose their jobs in support of a futile gesture?

Remember bro we are in the real Chicago they dont care now go downtown & up north where they care about bet its spotless

Downtown is the real Chicago.   Jean Baptiste DuSable settled  around what we know as South Wayer and Wabash  around 1833 or so.  The city grew from there firstly northward,  then westward before the biggest growth and annexation happened southward .  

Without downtown, you have nothing.

I'm no longer so sure of that. With State St. being turned into a college town, both major retailers in  Water Tower Place pulling out, and people not going to the office, it isn't what it once was. There, however, seems to be a new rental apartment market.

The "downtown only counts" attitude seems to be one of the things that undermined Emanuel.

On the other hand, on a topic debated a long time ago, the Church of No-L announced a new development.
