I liked the old 135 and 136, before the 135 became the Clarendon/LaSalle Express and before both routes went to the Drive at Wacker. Today, I like the 156. The 157 is in my heart because I used to take it to visit my dad at Northwestern before he died. I got very used to those Flyers. I also like the 2 and the 26.

Tcmetro Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I kinda like the 156. Why doesn't this route run on weekends? Every time I saw it it was full. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree on 157, I love that route too and I totally missed those Flyer D901s on that route along with 156, 145 Local in 90s. For TcMetro, I love 156 too, and I guess the reason why it doesnt run weekends because the most places on LaSalle in the loop barely open on weekends, most riders on that route works in offices and lives in Lincoln Park/Lakeview area. But I have a question, does people who park their cars in front of 156 bus stop have their cars get towed? Because everytime I trying to find a parking to go entertaining on Friday/Sat Nights, there are some people park their cars in front of the bus stop on LaSalle, I was goin to park mines there but I was scared to have my car get towed.

Elkmn Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 I'll have a go at this, I have nothing going on right now so why not? It's gonna be skewed because the farthest south I've taken the buses is 59th street (appx) and I rarely ride pace Pace: 290 Touhy 213 Green Bay Road (one of the first Pace routes I rode and it goes to my grandma's house) 318 North Avenue Milwaukee Pulse CTA: 78 Montrose (Love Hate relationship) 50 Damen (my childhood was based around the 50) 77 Belmont (same reason as last one) X49 (I used to love riding it home from school when it came back) 151 (just so funny how pathetically slow and unreliable it is) 66 (electric bus go brrr) 146 (flying down LSD is amazing) If I did least favorite routes, the list would be a LOT longer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
