Yesterday all the NB buses were still displaying 147 OUTER DRV EXP and only SB buses were displaying the change in route names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javi78 Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 Has anybody else noticed all the buses with Gopuff ads lol? Every bus I’ve caught in the past two weeks had the Gopuff ad wraps on them and even most of the buses I see. A lot of 1000s, 7900s, 4300s and especially the 4000s had the wraps. Some 1000s are even full body wrapped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're growing When I first noticed them, there were just a few of them, mainly fully wrapped 1000s. But as time progressed, I starting seeing more of them and across more bus models. I took it as a sign that GoPuff is growing and growing fast. Further evidence was the increased number of bikers seen up in my neck of the woods.

I've seen the number of their bikers grow too, especially in recent weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busfan2847 Posted March 30, 2022 Report Share Posted March 30, 2022 On 3/28/2022 at 4:14 PM, Tcmetro said: I was looking through some old maps, and they suggest that routes like 31, 39, 43, 51, 59 at one time didn't go out of the way to connect with the Dan Ryan line. I imagine modifying those lines also contributed to ridership decline on the South Side Main. Edit: looks like the changes happened in 1994 when the Green Line closed and were never reverted upon reopening in 1996. They were rerouted 1/9/1994 and you are correct, although restored to serve Green line stations when they reopened 5/12/1996, the routing via the Red line was continued. The 31 was not rerouted in 1994 and route was withdrawn 10/4/1997. It was not until restored 9/2/2016 that it was routed via 35th Red line station.

But when Reese was closed, it made more sense to extend the 21 and have the 35 terminal go back to Cottage Grove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost fainted this morning BTW. #604 was out there in service at 6am!!! It was all bunched up with artics. I always seem to see them bunched up. Must be that 9 second interlock, I mentioned. Maybe the picture should be saying as Chris Proterra #1 and will saying as Nova bus don't you know how to make an interlock??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
