Busjack Posted May 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2018 I wonder if there is yet any significance, but for the past couple of days, several CNG transits have been on 877 and 888 (tonight 15508 and 17504). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That has been common for months. The correlation seems to be that highway buses are sometimes used on 360 and 361. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pace831 Posted April 5, 2019 Report Share Posted April 5, 2019 More changes are coming to 511 and 512 to serve the new CTDI facility. Due to 511 being excessively long, this change will break the downtown transfer opportunity to southbound trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised they aren't doing the pace thing of just calling it the 511 and having the 512 be designated as a "B" trip or whatever. Especially since its only 3 total trips during each peak.

Now at least the northbound routing is different, but I don’t think anything is being served by that segment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pace831 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 I went by the new Harbor Freight warehouse in Joliet, and the building to the south of it which will be leased by Walmart. They both have bus turnarounds similar to the ones at Mars and CTDI. I haven't heard anything about new bus service, but it's good to see that the facilities are designed with transit use in mind.

In an effort to see what exactly you were talking about, I now know why the Mars stop is named as such, I'd wondered for years how it got that name. I then realized I was in the wrong location entirely, but after finding them, I do appreciate them incorporating buses into the design build. The 379 F trips just had to make awkward turns around parked cars in the lot lol. EDIT: The route diagrams for 511/512 are not to scale at all, sheesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
