NewFlyerMCI Posted May 2, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Saw this interesting graphic on twitter. Not sure of all the useful applications, but one could be figuring out bus lane placement. UIC has the 157 putting up crazy numbers, especially for a route that doesn’t run on the weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artthouwill Posted May 2, 2022 Report Share Posted May 2, 2022 Why does Lori Lightfoot think that unarmed security will determine crime on CTA? Why even bother to running for reelection? Is she hoping Willie Wilson and others will split votes and somehow finish in the top 2? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bus1883 Posted May 10, 2022 Report Share Posted May 10, 2022 Ok so I have been looking for unit #801 in the 800-series somewhere on the internet since it was sold to Paramount studios in May 2016 along with the four L cars. It’s going on six years since it hasn’t been on CTA property does anyone know if it’s still there or scrapped? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pudgym29 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 [color=8b008b] OOfw. I hope this will be a little more than [i]that post[/i]. I am sitting at the bar on the 1st floor of [url=https://www.onelakebrewing.com/]1st Lake Brwg[/url]. I want to leave here via the CTA route #91 Austin route. The Authority's bus tracker is responding there is [b]one bus[/b] on the entire route, and it is not due here for [i]more than 30 minutes[/i]. This is ridiculous. There is no way the Authority is running a major north-south route with [i]only one bus[/i]. Even at 20:54 at Saturday night. So - where am I venting? At BustRacker for having a misadustiged bus arrival datapoint? Or at the PDA for operating a service where [i]unchecked[/i] data is posted? I default. Please advise.

[/color] Sometimes the tracker can be off. You have been on the forum long enough to know people have reported "ghost " buses. Those are buses on a route but not listed on the tracker. It could be a glitch or GPS issue It's also possible that there could be only one bus on the route. You would have to look at an actual schedule to determine how many buses should be on the route at that given time. But you also have to remember we are still in a pandemic. There are plenty of bus and rail operators who are off for various reasons including COVID. With higher amounts of call offs , CTA is short staffed. The rail stations have announcement saying they are running as much service as possible but to expect longer than normal wait times. FG has few routes to pull buses from since a lit if their routes are running skeleton service as it is based on this time of night. Ve glad they have a bus or two on the route. Imagine that being the case on a major north south crosstown route like the 8 Halsted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.NewFlyer1051 Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 If CTA chooses to pick up another order of artics in the future they should grab the NF Xcelsior CHARGE NG i could see those fitting in at CTA but at the same time i can see the 60ft Nova Electric’s as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
