Attempting to view any ridership month for 2020 other than September results in a page that doesn't load. And I certainly have to do more scrolling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewFlyerMCI Posted April 30, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 30, 2021 https://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ct-biz-bedford-park-workforce-transit-20201229-7wu3ee6255cx5fon3djjmsrw3u-story.html Wish this reduced Uber/Lyft fare was a thing when I was working, some nights fares were $35-$55 for a 25 minute drive. I hope more work is done in regards to commutes, many of my former co-workers at FedEx had ridiculous commutes. Lot of people from South Shore and the gardens, I knew one person coming from Hegewisch. Other folks who transfered from the 349, 352 and 359 (or otherwise came thru 95th/Dan Ryan), or the 8A. Not counting walking time, my commute should've only been about 70 mins, but that saturday scheduling really messed that up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost feel that these companies could provide subsidized vanpools which would be significantly cheaper than TNCs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At FedEx, it would almost certainly be better, as frequently shifting start times made existing options useless, such as the end of twilight shuttle to 79th/Cicero leaving early, or even worse, arriving 379 F trips being completely empty because they arrived after start of shift. There were only 2 instances I caught a 379 F trip last summer, that was infuriating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: other than the 330 change, which is the only one I can think of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I suppose this current Nova order may be CTA'S last diesel bus order unless it opts to purchase one last diesel order of artics. But I question that now that New Flyer and Nova are offering electric artics . So far, Proterra hasn't entered that market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
