    Thanks, great video it brought back memories. I rode that same route for four days from the Haytt on Wacker St to the McCormack Pl. The first time the driver went down and under I thought he was crazy. Being an old retired 30 year driver I kept looking up I knew he was going to take the roof off the bus. Then a driver explained it saves them time and no traffic
    It was a cool ride. Did PCC have to deadhead busses from Urbana or did you have enough in Chicago to do the shuttling
    It appeared you were shuttling from the Sheraton
    Have a Happy Holiday

      I can tell the front row of passengers always stiffen up when going down 😅 No, we used just Chicago-based buses for this particular shuttle

    Are you allowed to turn left over the markings at 11:47? I know the vehicle in front of you did and it seems logical that it should be permitted. I've always thought those markings with the diagonal stripes indicated the road is divided and cannot be crossed. The markings on this road appear to be a recent change completed sometime between 2021 and now when the road was reduced to one lane per direction.
    Page 80 of the Illinois Rules of the Road 2024 outlines this "Yellow or white diagonal stripes are used to mark fixed obstructions". The pavement markings are slightly different than two way left turn lanes also described on page 80.

    I uploaded a similar video a couple weeks ago inspired by yours, but neglected to turn any stabilization features on the gopro on lol. Do you do anything in editing beyond just turning hypersmooth up a notch or two?

    • @alblua

      No extra stabilization done while editing! I use the Insta360 GO3 camera and just use standard stabilization.

    Will Chicago base buses will get their own yard to park in?

    • @alblua
      @alblua  3 дня назад

      Yes, that's the plan

    Yes my favorite content creator how are you Albert btw when you thru that busway where was it located

    • @alblua
      @alblua  3 дня назад

      It connects from McCormick Place to the hotels in the north, so it bypasses most of the traffic through downtown. I can't say exactly where it runs through since it's restricted access

    I love the busway. The best way to cheat traffic legally is to become a bus driver and drive down the busway!

    is that shortcut used to be railway?

    • @alblua
      @alblua  4 дня назад +1

      I don't believe so, it just runs along the Metra Electric tracks. I'm not sure if they tore any tracks out to make more room.
