Can you do strangest NYCMTA bus routes?

Sheridan feels way overrated considering how nerve-wracking those stairs are.

In the case of the 33, its final scheduling structure of service in the AM rush only was a result of funding. If I remember correctly, the route was sponsored by Metra, the Chicago area's suburban commuter rail service. The route used to be peak only service both in AM and PM rush. However, somewhere along the way the subsidy was cut and only the AM rush service remained. After the 33, there was a 132 Goose Island Express which operated limit stops between Michigan/Congress Plaza and the Clybourn Metra Station. This route was subsidized by Mars Wrigley Confectionery and provided bidirectional peak only. Some Northbound trips ended at Blackhawk and Cherry streets in the Goose Island area near the Wrigley and other major Goose Island facilities while some Southbound trips ended at Union Station. It did not operate along the Magnificent Mile and Lake Shore Drive like the 33 when downtown, but instead along major streets that took it near or past all the downtown Metra terminals, including La Salle Metra, Union and Ogilvie stations. It then operated along Halsted, deviating to the Blackhawk and Cherry stop before returning to Halsted, Clybourn and Cortland to the Clybourn Metra station. It operated from 2006 up until its elimination in December 2018 due to Mars Wrigley cutting the subsidy.

I went to uchicago and I am absolutely _loving_ all the Hyde Park representation in this video!! I used the 2 and 192 a few times as different ways to get downtown, they're certainly weird! part of the issue is that the main services to Hyde Park (the CTA 6 and Metra Electric) all bring you to Grant Park with no great way of going west, so having alternative services that get you further than Michigan are actually super helpful (not to mention other factors like the 192's ridership source of university hospital staff commuters!)

This was very interesting. I knew about some of these but not all of these.

I am not surprised ☹ that there was A cta bus route named 33

You plan to do the l challenge again?

Great video! Would you ever consider creating similar videos on the following topics? -Top 10 longest CTA bus routes -Top 10 shortest CTA bus routes -Longest gaps between CTA stations (docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16b_IrY3DcgswuFDD0wMWr0JxnDu1FR-VV65QVKBFA2I/edit?gid=545821379#gid=545821379)

Pace route 385 is one of the weirdest routes I know of. It's a very weird and pretty inefficient route considering it runs east and west along 87th st, 111th st, 127th st I would imagine that once the Red Line extension opens for revenue service many routes like 103 and 106, (111, 111A, 112) etc would be consolidated

Do Pace Now

From what I’m told from supervisors who sit at the UPS terminals, It serves the routing it does to connect with the neighborhood. CTA didn’t exactly design the routing when it was first introduced as a pilot route. When UPS first pitched the idea to CTA, the employees & supervision at UPS came up with two different routings, then voted on it. Today’s 169 routing simply made more sense because the people who rode the route, they came from separate areas around the south side. Not to mention, the 69th Street Terminal has more connections after ending its trip at 69th. The bus also has to layover, in case it gets there early. It’s much easier to do so at 69th than 79th.

Yesss your back. Love the video

i feel like they should bring back the 33 and 173 and 144 145 122 123

I'm surprised Rt 54A North Cicero/Skokie Blvd isn't mentioned. I honestly find that route weird since it operates only during the weekday rush hour. The weirdest part about it is that fact that when when that route isn't operating, passengers needs to suburbs like Skokie, IL to take a long detour just to access portions of the route like Dempster-Skokie & Oakton-Skokie Yellow Line Stations and Old Orchard Mall as perfect examples.

He's finally back!!!

I'm not surprised that CTA has weird routes lol

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

are you actually this tall or was it just the camera??? lol

Thank you for considering Accessibility in your rankings

I live close to the howard station and take a bus or train almost daily and every day i dream about redesigning it

question... do you stop the clock when you're waiting for trains or is this total time?

What about the tb bus and the measles bus all aboard

You know what bus 4301-4305 should be on bus routes 3 King Drive and 79 79th for 6 months they are one of the busiest bus routes in CTA

What's sketchy about the area around Wilson? From my experience it's a really nice part of Uptown

They need to re-extend the ➡️ 63rd Branch all the way 🔙 to Jackson Park especially for the Obama Presidential 📚 & they need to resurrect to all of the lost Ⓜ️ on the line & the whole system

Out of all the Red Line Ⓜ️ I’ve visited: Howard in S, Loyola in 🅰️, Bryn Mawr in D, Berwyn in D, Argyle in C, Sheridan in C, Addison in 🅱️, Belmont in S, Fullerton in S, ⬆️/Clybourn in C, Chicago/State in 🅰️, Grand/State in 🅱️, Lake in S, Monroe in C, Jackson in S, Harrison in D, Roosevelt in 🅰️, Cermak-Chinatown in 🅰️, & Sox-35th in 🅱️

I’m so glad you made this video! Cta definitely need to stick with new flyer in the purchasing of modern buses, plus new flyer has many many options engine/fuel speaking. You know Cta will run the old 1000 series n up to the grave and them artics should be updated with real time inside destination display, emergency door covers, tints, better heating and A/C etc. Who’s ever in charge of purchasing CTA’s fleet need to be replaced immediately.

some might get angry but you are not wrong, it goes through some rough neighborhoods. thats why i always say, if you have to take the green line to get there, why? do you actually have to be there?

3 King Drive To Michigan/Chicago Northwestern Memorial Hospital

what day in june

My favorite is Wilson because I live near the Wilson stop!

Clinton is a 👍 view of the 🛤️ @ OTC

They should re-extend the ➡️ 63rd Branch 🔙 to Jackson Park for the Obama 📚

I mean new flyer is a choice they might not stick out because almost every bus system has a new flyer or b y d if they have articulated buses here in San Francisco we have a fleet of 10 electric buses all on trial from four different manufacturers so far the potatoes as I call them haven't been in service for a while Nova is one of them they're pretty decent Muni likes using the new Flyers and byd's since they're more reliable

How to pay in buss, is there any app for city buss

gotta remember this. Not enough testing for electric buses during winter season. not sure how hydrogen buses gonna handle this

It's almost been a year! Time for another attempt!!

What is your definition of sketchy? With the amount times you’ve used it in this video, everything must be sketchy or something

I'm closer to the Howard station but I'll occasionally go to or exit the train at Jarvis because people are constantly smoking at the Howard station.🙄🙄 Even worse is people will smoke in the station lobby and the CTA attendant won't do anything. I wish the Granville stop had an auxillary exit and entrance considering how many people get off at that stop for grocery shopping at Aldi. The sidewalk leading to the station is pretty narrow, especially on the southern side of Granville. I agree that Addison is a more appropriate stop for the Purple line. Sheridan is a very inaccessible station. A few times I've seen people carrying a stroller up the stairs and those people would have been better served by an elevator. I intentionally moved to the north side close to the Red Line because of the great transit access. I use the the Uptown,Edgewater, and Rogers Park stations the most when I'm not using my bike.

Given how cold Chicago gets I’m still skeptical of how well electric buses can run. A hybrid approach might be more prudent

Should probably note that this is the seasonal route that goes to 31st street beach during the summer. During morning and afternoon rush hours and non-summer times the 35 bus ends it’s eastbound route at 35th/Cottage

With your name I expected to see buses from Burj Dubai. Like your videos of the buses especially the 66 Chicago Ave Bus which I used to ride every day decades ago. I noticed in your video at Chicago Ave & Ashland (1:03) is the still the Jerusalem store. Which when I was a kid, Walgreens used to be there. One thing to mention is how these electric buses will behave during a fire. There are many videos were in China they have caused fires. Also in the USA there are cases where electric cars parked in the garage caused the house to catch fire. With salt sprayed in the winter on the streets, I don't know what provisions have been made to keep the batteries from corroding and causing a public fire hazard. A good follow up video is how the Chicago Fire Dept is prepare for these conditions. ruclips.net/video/T71cVhxG_v4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/wzwqLekgDSc/видео.html

You should do the Blue Line next 😝😝😝

Another tip: buses 1630-2029 in the 1000-series is rusting really bad a lot of them have sat at South Shops for 2 years.

Adams and wabash is disgusting though, so much bird poop and rusty paint.

From Belmont/Halsted to Union Station

From 31st Street Beach to Cicero/24th Place

Those dot matrix displays never worked

Oh yeah it is shady underneath the King Drive station. Tons of drug activity. That particular intersection is always hoppin.’

It must be tough coming up with these ratings given a high crime rate in Chicago. “This station is terrible because of the sketchy neighborhood and criminal activity”. That is probably the work-in-progress description for 50% of the stations
