ChiTown Posted February 10, 2023 Report Share Posted February 10, 2023 I feel that CTA should extend the #52 Kedzie bus route further north to Logan Square Blue Line, Kimball Brown Line, or to Devon/Kedzie. I think that would be a great route going North for the #52 Kedzie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no need for needless redundancy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also had that same idea to why not extend the 52 up Logan Square Blue where that extra Bus Terminal is there next to the 76, heck I would welcome that extending to Devon/Kedzie which would help my neighborhood and for me too like let’s say if the 82 isn’t running well consistently the extension of the 52 Kedzie would be an alternate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could also do what was when 82 was split--pull into Logan Square, but that's unnecessary because 82 serves Belmont. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it isn't. At one time there was service along North Kedzie but it was eliminated due to low ridership and the fact that the more popular 82 and the 11 ran nearby. South of Addison there's the 94 and the 82. History has proven ridership isn't there. It would be good exercise to walk a little more to Kimball or California if it's not possible to walk, then there's Pace paratransit Ir Uber/Lyft. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
