I'm surprised that 59 is not listed as changing, as these routes are usually interlined with it, but maybe adjustments are being made elsewhere.

Headways and layover times might still allow it without a need to change 59. 62H/63W also are the same plus 55 and 63 also interline with Midway routes as well from what maths22 has shown. 59 just happens to share the run numbers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam92 Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 Proofreaders did a horrible job this pick. 146s that end at Harrison lack an H giving the impression that they end at Delaware, 28 doesn't show the H's for downtown trips and 82 is going on 1-2 years not showing that early NB trips end at Belmont lmao 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first WB Saturday trip might be CTAs fastest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I see your point that the first trip is 4:53 at all points. bus-tt_39.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at it more and it's the 93 weekday AM schedule. Wonder if it's a coincidence that it's the transpose of 39. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As @Tcmetro said, it's apparently one half of the 93 weekday schedule printed twice.

Proves that the world can't rely on Artificial Stupidity, and, as you indicated, a human should have checked these to see if they made sense. Clearly, the 39 one didn't, for several reasons found here. The 146 error was less obvious, but anyone with any knowledge of the system knows that trips don't end at the north end of Michigan Ave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcmetro Posted December 17, 2023 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 There was another error a few months ago that I noticed. I looked it up again and it's the 126 schedule on the weekends showing the 151 schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erin Mishkin Jr. Posted December 17, 2023 Report Share Posted December 17, 2023 Harlem isn’t tracking any buses right now. Cta must not have updated the correct timing for the Harlem changed schedules for the bus tracker, as it seems like they haven’t changed it from fall pick yet.

Might be whatever gets uploaded in the garage didn't catch as far as the 90. I think it's wirelessly updated to each bus when they pull in. This pick looks like it was a huge mess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted December 24, 2023 Report Share Posted December 24, 2023 Looks like the posted 39 and 146 schedules have been fixed (or at least are not as egregiously wrong). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 126 schedule from August also got fixed recently, so more evidence someone from CTA is paying attention to this forum. https://www.transitchicago.com/assets/1/6/bus-tt_126.pdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
