The 19 was quietly extended to Michigan/Delaware.

This is interesting.   First, I thought rhe opening if the Damen Green Line station would have some effect on this service.   But I could see the 19 still being the preferred choice to get to Ogluvie, Union  and Millennium Stations.  When I rode the 19, the bus was empty after Millennium Station, which was the reason why the rourw was truncated to begin with.  I don't know if safety is a factor in extending back to Michigan/Delaware. 

I have walked from the United Center to the IMD Blue Line station * which seems to be a popular choice), but I'm not sure how people feel about walking from the United Center to Damen/Lake.  While the Damen station may be a benefit to the neighborhood,  i think the 19 sticks around until a Pink Line United Center station gets built

I gtuess the only issue is whether Wirtz is willing to pay for it.

I’ve been noticing block “22-513” has not been doing its final 22 trip that leaves Harrison at 3:42pm and appears to be doing a 134 trip for several days now. I am noticing that there have been missing PM 134’s nearly every day this pick, so Kedzie appears to be running short on operators.

Kedzie definitely is having manpower issues last weekend they had to use Operators from Chicago garage to do the blue line shuttle
