Apparently the 28 and X28 operate on an interline because 1983 was on X28, ans now its a 28. Also 1496, 1606 and 1990 are 28 locals SB ans will be X28's NB to downtown. Not really surprised to discover this interline given the 145/148 interline.

This interlining also occurs with route #63W West 63rd buses. Half of the PM rush buses run to Old Harlem & 64th {instead of 63rd & Archer in Summit}, where they then transform into eastbound #165 West 65th buses to run back to the Midway Orange Line "L" terminus.

Yes I know about that interline. It works opposite in the AM rush.

Here's an interesting story about Bustracker...

I was waiting for the #11 SB yesterday afternoon. I check the tracker and it says #1853 and #1571 were approaching at the folloing intervals... 5 min(#1853) and 18 min(#1571). Anyhow, I check the tracker a few minutes later and it says that 1853 is DUE. So I take my pass out and wait.... and wait.... and wait(no bus shows up). So I check the tracker again, and it shows #1571 coming in 15 min!!! #1853 just totally disappeared from the tracker and didn't even approach my stop!!! When I check about 10 min later, the tracker shows #1853 AGAIN about 5 min away and 1571 4 min away!!! Needless to say when #1853 was finally labeled DUE this time, it appeared and I took it.

What in the world happened here??? :huh:

Did you also check the map (since apparently the bus was not a ghost bus, and you didn't get to the stop too late to eventually catch it)?

There also could have been unforeseen traffic congestion (especially on Lincoln).

[At least the bus was not like Lou Pinella...perpetually overdue.]

2000 showing up on the X28/28 interline and 4109 showing up on 147.

I saw 2000 on the x28 at 47th and Lake Park around 4:45 pm today.

I saw 2002 at 71st and Jeffrey on either the 14 or 15 on Saturday (I didn't look at the destination...I was busy finding the number on the front as the train went across Jeffrey.

I saw buses #2005 & #2010 on route #70 Division Tuesday.

I rode on bus #1983 on Division. Its low-floor section is mostly longitudinal seats. My camera was out of battery power, so I did not take a picture of it.

I have pictures of bus #1984 on route #65 Grand. I'm waiting for the E-Mail certification from a prospective World-Wide Web host before I post those here.

Update: bus #2012 spotted running on route #66 Chicago.

Finally just about all the rest of the N Lake Shore routes. That just leaves 134 not up after the 20th. I see the 53AL and a few more 103rd routes also making it up.

No surprise they're saving the most bunched line for last....the 134! Many a times I've seen this bus already jammed to the windshield before it reaches Diversey (mind you the route begins at Belmont!)

Of course the one I've been dying to see is finally arriving....155 Devon!

Can't say much...I work it Sunday and Monday! :P
