That's strange, I've seen a lot of #53 artics near Kostner. Komensky is a very small terminal so I don't know how they manage to fit artics in there

It can be a tight fit there ive had my times while turing around there where it be a 53 artic or 2 53 artics then I pull in with a artic & u like wow

For any of my fellow travelers and operators god speed with you because cottage grove is an absolute mess. I never thought it was this bad until I picked it but on the weekends it's just nutty. Imagine having to work a double and triple street then add on to that not having any reliefs. I haven't had any easy time on cottage until my very last trip of evening around 10:30. Currently there is only 6 buses out there and I unfortunately have to go work on that street. I wish CTA would do something about this because it keeps getting worse and worse. I had one passenger tell me that had to wait nearly 2 hours for a bus because they had to keep switching buses due to no reliefs getting made. That to me is unacceptable and should be looked into if it hasn't already because I have get caught in the crossfire of tension from the passengers. I'm grateful it hasn't gotten violent but I'm starting wonder what the breaking point. 

I most definitely feel your pain bro it has got worst

When I have my mid afternoon to early evening runs on pulaski there's usually two sitting in there and even on rare occasion they'll also will be a #82 sitting in there around 8 or 9 pm with one #53 that is usually an artic.

Artics still go in the terminal at 31st and Komensky for whatever reason and it bugs the hell out of me at times especially when there's two sitting in there. 

Yeah I saw an artic in the front of the turnaround. If 2 artics go in there then dont ask me how the #53A goes in there cause theres really no room. 

Was driving around and noticed the irving pk cumberland bathroom for the operators is a port-o-potty. I was like really, what happened to the bathroom they had? I hate port-o -potties. They opened a gas station down the street. I'd probably just take a personal there.

Yeah i've normally had to honk my horn to get one of them to move and reposition themselves in the terminal and trust me it is a tight squeeze. I've noticed a lot of port-o-potty's pop back up recently. I remember when I had 87th street on the weekends last pick that I would have to use the regular bathroom at the damen terminal before going to Western,Cicero and Commercial because of the port-o-potty getting removed for a few months. As much I as loved my runs on 87th not having anywhere to go for a quick bathroom break at the end of each terminal other than damen became torture for me.

The bus number is important since I rode 2 routes from K recently.   12 and 18.

It's like a week for the results. They are starting to get some at the stores that will show you results fast and its discreet.

Route 13 doesn't exist. I'm pretty sure you meant to say the 12 Roosevelt.

I would definitely call your VA hospital asap, and see if they have rapid testing and available appointments. I work for a VA, and the new rapid testing allows for results on the same day. The same test may be available at private sites, like the Jewel-Osco.
