If depends on what property rights CTA obtained to build the terminal at  Ford,City

 Clearly  CTA can't build o someone else's property and that terminal is  also needed for 67 and 79.

Exactly. That’s three routes that’ll likely need 3-4 buses each (53, 54B, 79), and one for two-three buses (67) in order to reduce layover congestion at the other side of their respective terminals…

I wonder why Kedzie no longer does arrive on the weekends for 12 & 21. I know 12 is frequent but 21 isn’t.

So what is Kedzie doing with its artics on weekends? Even though 12 is frequent it's really the only route that has the infrastructure to help artics (bus lanes, multiple lanes) especially since 151 is only getting rush hour help from K now. They might as well go to 21 to make up for the lack of frequency if they won't up it plus I'm sure North Riverside is still a busy mall. 

Basically from what I've seen, they all pretty much have been getting parked since the start of this current winter pick and the 12's addition to the Frequent Bus Network. Even on weekdays, I haven't really seen K put artics on these two outside of a few stragglers. K seems to now focus using them on weekdays for the 125, 134, 143 (looks like primarily the AM runs these days as PM service has seen heavier 40 ft coverage), 156 and what few 151 short runs it still has left. Weekends they now appear to just give their artics a rest. Seems to be an extra step they added outside of the mileage swaps to preserve the mileage on the artics they presently have.

Random question but did the #4 relief go back to 79th in winter pick? Also is #6 still relief at 47th?

#6 should be 67th. Whatever happened at 47th was temporary as far as I know

#6 is still at 47th

Weird... When and why? Are a lot of these guys doing 28 on part of their shift?

I think part of the reason why 47th was chosen is the area is safer than 67th.  Also there's a bathroom there at 47th for drivers to use.   It's still a one seat ride on the 28 to 103rd.
