If they had to wait 25 minutes, that means you're missing a leader or possibly two for that factor. Idk I was just switched from the 20 to do the 72 so I just went over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he can explain if his leader was so far ahead or behind him that the gap arose. He didn't say what time of day, but the schedule indicates about 11-15 minutes from North/Neva, and then every 15 to 17 minutes from North/Neva and every 7 to 9 minutes from North/Narragansett, so 25 minutes indicates that a trip got missed. A 22-minue interval is scheduled only after 8:00 p.m. It was about 10:45 am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess there is no way of knowing what happened to the prior trip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised the 72 doesn't have that much manpower on it. Then again when I did th air and water show shuttle run for it after th event had concluded and I left Harlem going back EB there was no serivce for a good 45 minutes.

Imagine being the guy that has to drive behind TWO missing buses . Imagine being the guy driving behind THREE missing buses . I recounted a timetable FOUR Oaxe buses in a row didn't show up on the 313 when the route was supposed to be at 30 minute intervals. That's TWI HOURS OF NO SERVICE . That's not scheduling. That's staff shortages mixed in with driver call offs, abs possibly maintenence and operational issues . Even adjusting the schedule doesn't help when drivers call off work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even adjusting the schedule doesn't help when drivers call off work. People were going to the Pace board over that. I interpret @Shannoncvpi 's post as 72 was so short that they had to divert his 20 there. Since the CD indicated that he was only -2 minutes from whatever run he was on, the leader must have also been missing, unless he was assigned a trip with a different schedule than the one on which he was filing in. But I don't know; @Shannoncvpi can tell me differently. I also assume this made 20 short a trip. That would be as harmful to 20's 12-14 minute scheduled headway midday.

I agree, which I stated in the first part of the post * the part you didn't quote). Basically the gap would have been even bigger had he not been sent therw.. I guess it's better to have 2 routes with a 25 minute gap than one either with a 40 minute gap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed the point in your post to the effect of that if @Shannoncvpi hadn't been diverted, his follower would have been really put upon.

There is a consumer mindset of "if we all don't get together and tell them, they won't know," but if they have to tell someone, it's at 567, which probably knows, but either can't do anything about it or doesn't care.

Busjack Posted October 15, 2023 Report Share Posted October 15, 2023 For someone from NY who "thinks" CTA security camera footage doesn't get on TV, here's an example: WGN: Chicago police search for men wanted in robbery on CTA Green Line train.
