TaylorTank1229 Posted July 16 Report Share Posted July 16 Nothing too major, but seems the #43 43rd Street bus is having a slight change in its route going into effect this upcoming Sunday, with westbound buses ending on 41st/Halsted (via Root, Halsted, 41st, Emerald, and back EB on Root) instead of ending at 42nd Pl/Halsted. https://www.transitchicago.com/travel-information/alert-detail/?AlertId=108706 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing CTA wants is complaint of idling buses in front homes with passengers waiting on the side of the homes. I wonder how the seniors will adapt to the change.

TaylorTank1229 Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Quick question, in 15 days the #93 will  officially become a 7-day bus route. Will this make #93 the first known CTA bus route in the system to have daily service operating through Evanston? I know thereâs the #97 but as far as running through Evanston, it only runs through it on Dodge between Howard & Oakton and on Oakton between Dodge & McCormick, right?

First is hard to say, since it's not clear if there were any in the 1970s, but the Evanston local media say that it is the first on the west side. Your other comment depends on how you consider Howard Street, as the WB 97's Clever Device announces Evanston cross streets. But, clearly no bus serves downtown Evanston on Sunday now, just the L.

Itâs not, just simply just a showing of its âregularâ (current) routing before next Sunday when all trips will just continue west of Lawndale on 31st to the Komensey/31st terminal. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iâm not sure why it didnât happen but Iâm still a lil mad about it cause I wanted to pick that for the upcoming fall pick to see how those streets are lol. Maybe itâll happen winter pick cause the system pick goes in effect the same as the fall which is Aug 17 2025. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this is a response to the complaint that the senior drivers get the easy work and the inexperienced get the tough (usually downtown) work.

andrethebusman Posted Saturday at 07:41 AM Report Share Posted Saturday at 07:41 AM First route change for 53 in 74 years. A record, including streetcar routes. 54 close behind, if you don't count 24th Pl loop being reversed in 1960s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 53 should go to Devon Kedzie, as that's the city limits at Devon. No service on Devon west of Kedzie except the short lived 155A years ago. The sole reason it never went north of Peterson was the C&NW grade crossing a quarter mile north of there at Granville/Pulaski that the streetcar company didn't want to cross. That's been gone for years now. Maybe ever other bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
