nflyer22 Posted April 19, 2009 Report Share Posted April 19, 2009 Hmm 2024 is at Ashland on the 66 going East as of now. Wow, I just saw 2024 yesterday afternoon on the #29, and now it has gone to Chicago Garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zol87 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 On April 20 these bus routes will be activated on to the CTA bustracker. 2 Hyde Park Express N5 South Shore Night Buses 30 South Chicago 53AL South Pulaski Limited 64 Foster/Canfield 95E 93rd/95th 95W West 95th 100 Jeffery Manor Express 103 West 103rd 106 East 103rd 108 Halsted/95th 112 Vincennes/111th 123 Illinois Center/Union Express 124 Navy Pier 135 Clarendon/LaSalle Express 136 Sheridan/LaSalle Express 143 Stockton/Michigan Express 144 Marine/Michigan Express 155 Devon Finally the 155 Devon will be added to the list. It is also good to see the far south side finally getting more coverage. I guess the only routes left are the 170's that serve the UofC, the 200's in Evanston, and some express routes like the 33, 26, 120, 121, 122, 132, 134 and the 192. Will they ever add special routes like the 19, 128, 130, X98, 154, 168, or 169? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tamir4317 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Wow, I just saw 2024 yesterday afternoon on the #29, and now it has gone to Chicago Garage. Arrrgghhh! I saw 2024 on the #29 yesterday (about 11:30am) too. Later that day while on the way home, I saw 2023 on the #14 heading to Washington/Jefferson. And now THAT might be headed to Chicago ave. Hopefully when 2029 is finally on the streets, #1980-2029 can be split between Chicago/103rd. It's just not right that Chicago/North Park/77th have the buses (1930+) that sound like the 2nd coming of the M.A.N. Americanas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today most of the #2024 - #2018 bunch is showing up on Chicago routes. #2024, #2023 is on the #20, #2021 is on the #73, #2020 is on the #72 and #2019 is on the #65. The other ones will most likely show up there in time. 103rd is receiving more artics. #4045 - #4049 odds are appearing on the #14. Also #4025 - #4031 odds are appearing at Kedzie. They were all on the #156. So let the shuffle begin again!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the intent was to put those at Chicago, why o why were they ever dispatched to 103 in the first place. Simply mind boggling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were all on the #156. So let the shuffle begin again!! In the "4000 Arrives" thread, CTA5750 wrote that he observed a couple of 1800s en route from 103rd to NorthPark yesterday. Sure enough, as I write, 1850 and 1852 are both appearing on BusTracker, on Lincoln & Clark respectively. (1854 may be at NP too). Now this switch seems to contradict previous number consolidation patterns. Just a few weeks ago, the odd-numbered buses 1799-1853 migrated from NorthPark to 103rd. Now this is REALLY weird!

BUSANGEL#1 Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I wonder how many 4000s did 77th get, cause i've seen at least 7 showing up on tracker. Hyde Park or 77th must have begged for those artics on the 6, lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pudgym29 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 More buses on routes from 103rd St. Garage (and one from Forest Glen). (Is the year correct on all the garage pages?) Is there an electronic setting in the route display for the New Flyer buses which reads "Another New CTA Bus"? If not; there should be.

cta 5555 Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 I wish there was a sign that said something else for the flyers like watch out it floods inside when u drive into some water. The last four i had when raining or driving into water. The water comes from the wheel well and floods the inside of the bus. Also one of them was a new one 2021. Also the older ones are good for raining inside now in the drivers area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 More buses on routes from Chicago garage (and two from 103rd Street garage, and one from Forest Glen).Is there a point to this, other than 2024 might have been at 103rd before? It was previously reported that it moved to Chicago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BusHunter Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 #4080 has come back to 103rd from 77th. It was back on the #14 this morning. Although for the last two or three days #4046 has been on the #6. It seems both buses have switched places. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamir4317 Posted May 9, 2009 Report Share Posted May 9, 2009 #2025 is on the #29 right now. I wonder how long will it be before Chicago gets it? And yesterday I saw #2027 on the #111, and #2028 on the #34. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 #2025 is on the #29 right now. I wonder how long will it be before Chicago gets it? And yesterday I saw #2027 on the #111, and #2028 on the #34. With a furlong left, looks like we're nose to nose with regard to whether 2029 or 4149 is reported first, thus completing the respective order.

Busjack Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 150 of 154 routes will be online, routes #19, #128, #154 won't be added because they don't have specific schedules. I wonder if they'll ever add #X98. http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/05...bile-phone.html You caught one that the Trib. didn't. As discussed in the X98 thread, there wouldn't be much point to it on an arrival or departure basis, because it either shows up at the one boarding point or doesn't. Might make a point for those of us who use BusTracker or WebWatch to track fleet numbers, but that supposedly isn't the reason for that service. I thought that the same would apply to the 192, but apparently that bus has to loop back to make another trip during the same rush hour, so it could be late for the second. Also, the Trib. stressed the upcoming e-mail and more distant text message services. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jesi2282 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 After looking at the Bus Tracker site, I noticed the #X98 made it on the list after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sht6131 Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 After looking at the Bus Tracker site, I noticed the #X98 made it on the list after all. I also noticed that I now have a dark blue background with darker blue lettering that is almost impossible to read. Anybody else have the same or does my computer need adjusting.

Anybody else have the same or does my computer need adjusting.I thought you were referring to the box when you click a bus, but you mean the route progress, which is a new glitch. Saw similar with the 33: Also an old route: I looked at View Page Source, and while the original bgcolor is white. most of the window is generated with javascript, and I don't know how to debug that. However, some of the script is browser specific, i.e. if Safari or if Firefox. However, it isn't just your computer. P.S., for whoever found the supervisor variable in the url, which disappeared, it is set to false in the script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busjack Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Thanks busjack. I would think that this should be resolved. Also what is the supervisor variable and what is the url? Does it show run numbers? Someone, about a year ago found it, and essentially is showed run and badge numbers on the bus icon. I did the search, and the discussion starts about here.* The url is the web address (and shown in the address pane in the browser; see the gray between the window control bar and the blue). There used to be something in it similar to s?=false, which you could change to s?=true, but shortly after the person posted it here, that part of the address was removed. I don't know if one can dummy up the address in a browser to bring it back (and probably have not remembered all of the details). ____ *Also, looking back, it appears that it was you who asked how to do it then.

You are right. It was me. I got confused trying to do it and gave up. I thought at the preset that there was another way of bringing up the site. Thanks again.

I thought at the preset that there was another way of bringing up the site. Thanks again. I had only mentioned that the javascript reflected the variable. While I can recognize javascript, I don't know how to dummy it up and whether that would work. Anyway, the search for 4149 vs. 2029 becomes that much more difficult. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T8H5307A Posted May 18, 2009 Report Share Posted May 18, 2009 Saw similar with the 33: So that's what I look like on the 33! (I had 1079 this morning) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
