Hi everyone, i'm going to go "bus bunching" tomorrow morning (there's no school for me tomorrow) and I'm going to the Jefferson Park Terminal to ride an Optima and I want to know what routes they are on between 9am-2pm. I know the Optimas are on a lot of routes from FG, but I want to which route they'll most likely be on...here's the routes I can ride on:

#56A North Milwaukee

#68 NW Highway

#81W West Lawrence

#85 Central

#85A North Central

#88 Higgins

So i'm asking this: do any of you think there will be an Optima on any of these routes and if they are, what times? It has to be anywhere between 9am-2pm

They are not on "specific" routes at "specific" times, they are moved around and sometimes given out optionally to drivers (but I can assure you many don't like them).

However if you're looking for it, the possibilities to start with (but not guarantees) would be:

56A N. Milwaukee

68 NW Highway

69 Cumberland/E River

81W West Lawrence

85A North Central

86 Narragansett/Ridgeland

88 Higgins

90N N Harlem

206 Evanston Circulator

There on #86 Narraganset-Ridgeland, too? This I didn't know. Anyways, what route do any of you think the Optimas will most likely be on?

As was said, they are not route or time specific. Going to Jeff would give you a good chance to catch one, especially in the rush, because there are numerous routes to catch them on. I would think your shorter routes (as the 68 or 85A maybe even 56A) would be your best shot. I have seen them on 85A, 84, 80 and 56 also...all at different times of the day. Hang out at Jeff and I would bet you will get your wish, eventually.
