cplanner13 Posted July 12, 2023 Report Share Posted July 12, 2023 Imagining a fictional/alternate history where a section of the L branches off the Blue Line at Montrose and continues onto the Edens where it meets with an extended version of the Yellow Line near Old Orchard Road. https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1JR-EvFuFDOx50Lu-yUUa6KyX1f7o2Rs&usp=sharing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrissz2613 Posted July 14, 2023 Report Share Posted July 14, 2023 What are the dimensions of CTA's station platform signs (like the one below)? Are they 72" x 9"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javi75 Posted July 19, 2023 Report Share Posted July 19, 2023 If a CTA bus driver was laid off back in 2010 during the service cuts when Archer shut down along with the retirement of the 6000s and express routes getting cut. Could that former bus driver get rehired if they apply for a CTA job now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering that CTA is begging for drivers from anywhere, sure, but one has to consult the collective bargaining agreement to see what seniority rights one would have.

I don't know how big it was, but there are plenty of garden and grocery stores and home centers that sell them for ornamental purposes.

TaylorTank1229 Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 New revised #84 eastbound bus stop sign, taken at the Thorndale Red Line station. I was figuring where the bus stop would be placed at since the curbs on each side of the train bridge is occupied for local parking (unless the city was planning to do something about that), seems the stop will be right there in front of the station.

TaylorTank1229 Posted July 29, 2023 Report Share Posted July 29, 2023 Quick question, is no supervisors at FG garage letting their drivers be aware of the new routing for #84? Because I was waiting for a eastbound bus at Clark to get me to the Thorndale station and when it arrived it didn’t go down the revised route but it took the regular route down Bryn Mawr, turning around at Lake Shore and laying over back at the Bryn Mawr station. Driver said no one informed him of the reroute, caught the next one that was approaching & that driver did the same thing. He said it was his first day back & wasn’t told that 84 has a new routing. Seems somebody over at Forest Glen failed to stay on top of keeping their drivers in the loop on these service changes, and this is probably something that should’ve be made aware days before it went to effect. I can only imagine the frustration of customers waiting at Thorndale for a bus to show up… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The board is updated by bus service management at each garage, but the information for reroutes is not always forwarded or updated by CTA Headquarters right away. Because the vast majority of employees at the headquarters are still working from home cause of Covid protocols. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jajuan Posted August 10, 2023 Report Share Posted August 10, 2023 No buses are serving the Howard terminal right now due to some incident near the entrance to the terminal from what I could see. A squad car has Jarvis blocked off at Clark, and a couple of fire trucks were sitting on Jarvis responding to whatever happened. Also a helicopter was hovering overhead. I couldn't tell if it was a news chopper or a police one because from the angle it was hovering its identifying markings couldn't be seen.

Yellow, and Purple Line Express My first thought was a derailment, possibly a Yellow Line train setting up for a return to Howard i couldn't find anything on CTA'S website, so hopefully whatever it is gets resolved quickly.
