If you thought mile 6 was bad wait till I tell you about my 11 (Pershing-31st), this mile contained basically all of Chicago’s non-passenger transport arteries and you could tell

Mile #6 (79-71) is the new worst Though in an absolutely hilarious way (used cars)

Made it to 79th! We’re counting the buses and we’ve seen 13 so far though five of those were just 95s .

New loser: mile #3 (103-95) Picture says it all Also a @westtowns-urbanist.bsky.social signage special

New winner: mile #2 (111-103) slightly inferior streetscape, but the commercial was really interesting so it gets the victory so far.

Route 126/127 152 Addison A classic and the last triple digit but of the challenge

Route 124/127 36 Broadway The only instance of a quarter mile grid that’s actually justified

Route 123/127 78 Montrose These E/W Northsiders are a perfect test case for bus seat selection order given their fullness

Route 122/127 92 Foster Hailed as “sketchy” by the most memorable driver of the challenge, so far it seems fine

Route 121/127 22 Clark Home stretch now

After a far too long wait Route 120/127 96 Lunt Probably the worst E/W crosstown north of 31st

Route 119/127 93 North California/Dodge Getting a proper tour of the 1 level inland North Side

Route 118/127 76 Diversey Took advantage of the back of a bunch for a very comfortable (and quicker) ride

After a quick ride on the Blue Line Route 117/127 74 Fullerton This bus is PACKED. We’ve had to turn people away twice

Route 116/127 73 Armitage The first of many east/west North siders today

After a repositioning move on the 65 and a catchup move on the red line, Route 115/127 37 Sedgwick The last bus we have to ride downtown

Route 114/127 124 Navy Pier Express The bus went off route! But also, loop link is a powerhouse. Could definitely use one of those on Michigan north of the river

Route 113/127 126 Jackson One of the CTA’s few instances of a quarter mile grid Also, it doesn’t run on Jackson westbound until Damen so we’re getting the eastbound too

Route 112/127 130 Museum Campus Our 2nd and final seasonal route, which provides a reminder of just how far east the Museum Campus is

There has been a small change to the plan for today, people are still welcome to come along (details in reply), starting with Route 111/127 10 Museum of Science & Industry If this ran a normal schedule, it would be my perfect custom express route

I'm getting pretty close to finishing up my "riding every Chicago bus" challenge. The grand finale is next thursday. Starting at 2 PM at Lincolnwood Town Center, we will be riding all 17 remaining bus routes and anyone is welcome to come along. DM for more details if you'd be interested in joining.

(never posted last night, so) Route 110/127 134 Stockton/LaSalle Express This bus is way too empty to merit a 60 footer

submitted 14 days ago • 0 comments

Route 109/127 156 LaSalle This bus is slammed from people getting on at the zoo. Maybe running through the park actually is optimal for ridership purposes as opposed to just finding suitable roads

After a red line shortcut, Route 108/127 143 Stockton/Michigan Express Featuring a whole lot of Michigan

Route 103/127 88 Higgins It is MUCH nicer and more suburban north of 90…wow

Route 102/127 90 Harlem This one is waaay too crowded to be so infrequent

Route 101/127 65 Grand A well used bus even out here and a great reason to #BuildTheTunnel

I’ve been tracking it on the other app so now I’m finishing up here too Route 100(!!!)/127 86 Narragansett/Ridgeland This is probably the emptiest I’ve seen a bus starting from an L station
