Was it during the Chicago Marathon this past Sunday or afterwards during this current work week? Depending on the detour and the area to make stops we're required to make announcements and use our best just when boarding sn alighted customers along said Detour.

Thank you for your reply.  Nothing to do with the Marathon, it was in a completely different section of the city on Wednesday.  There was a car crash and shooting along the original bus route during the night.  The police were still investigating in the morning.

Gotcha, the bus operator should of said something to everyone about the sudden change in service due to an accident/active crime scence and at the very least should have accommodated you with a courtesy stop. It doesn't take much to curb the bus and alight you. 😁

Thanks for your reply.  That sounds like a sensible policy.   I wondered if the operator would have risked being fired for letting me off the bus.

Two stabbing happened today on two different Ashland street buses today. One was in the early morning hours and the other was during the afternoon on the X9.
