Chicago's Bus Fleets Need More Time to Electrify

The Illinois Senate passed a new law requiring CTA, Pace, and Metra to exclusively purchase electric buses HB1342. I'm going to talk about why it's problematic. The Bill can be found here: legiscan.com/IL/bill/HB1342/2023 This is a re-upload. I was mistaken, Metra is in fact NOT affected by this bill.

    I'm saddened that the Western stop will look the same. They've been getting rid of the rust and repainting it this week, so I was hoping the station would also be changed to look somewhat attractive. Ah, well. Edit: Oh, yeah. I agree with you with the Harold Washington Library stop. I went late evenings and I would freak out with the random people shouting out of nowhere.

    Actually, CTA would have been better off with purchasing the newly designed Flyers as opposed to the latest Novas. However, from what I have witnessed in the past decades, CTA has a tendency to settle for cheapest bid when it comes to the purchase of new equipment, as opposed to the most durable and reliable. And given the severity of the economic downturn, it looks like those who depend on Chicago transit will be suffering for a long, long time, especially where bus service is concerned. Just sayin'..........

    Nah wellington is by far the worst one, so completely unnecessary. Most brown line stops are about a half mile to a mile apart, and wellington is two blocks from Belmont and Diversey. Who does it even serve?? There is no bus route on wellington either, it is just an absolute waste. Makes the already slow brown line commute much worse.

    woah right out the gate hating on western, its got a dunks, thats gotta be worth somethin francisco is my home station, i just wish the west side of it was fully featured with accessible entrance and a ventra machine. i had to walk all the way to the other end with someone to use the machine there, at that point walking to kedzie would have been closer to my house. armitage is cool, I like the transition with the red line tunnel coming up through the middle. at diversey northbound there is a little bit of kink in the track, if youre in the last car youll notice it, by the time your car reaches it the train should be going fairly quick. once i was a non revenue (no stops) run and wasnt ready for it and it just about tossed me out of my seat because we hit it going way faster than usual.

    one thing for sure tho it would actually make sense to combine the brown and orange lines since they both run into the loop and they share all the tracks heading to south west and north aswell so i think combining the orange and brown line actually makes sense in my opinion

    • @BurjTransit
      @BurjTransit 9 днів тому

      I think the lines are separate so they can both access more parts downtown. If they we're combined, they'd either only run on Lake and Wabash or only Wells and Van Buren. It would likely be more efficient though so with the current shortage of operators, it might not be a bad idea.

    I’ve never heard the take of the thru running metra line that would be frequent. Something like that would provide a cross town connection that is quick and easy. Right now it hard to get to Hyde park by transit from the northside but this would solve the issue simply. You should do a video on thru running metra trains.

  • @jawanzamarsh3867
    @jawanzamarsh3867 18 днів тому

    The one huge flaw with taking the 147 off Sheridan and diverting it to the Peterson/Ridge Metra station is that there is no room to stage transit buses at the station with the setup Metra decided to go with for the station's design especially if the buses are articulated as currently primarily the case for the current 147. Trying to work around that brings up a lot of headaches. Ravenswood is too narrow along the west side of the station. The extension of the roadway on the east side of the station has no outlet onto Ridge, and it ends in a roundabout that can only facilitate cars and small paratransit buses. Ridge probably could be used, but you run into the issue of maybe needing to stage buses so far along Ridge that connections with the station becomes rather insufficient from an increased walking distance between buses and the station. If Peterson is used, a balance would need to be figured out a balance to minimize blocking the 84 Peterson bus that already connects with the station. And the last point leads into mitigating the potential blowback from the seniors who live in the highrises next to the station over buses lined up and staging outside their complex all day, seven days a week.

    • @BurjTransit
      @BurjTransit 18 днів тому

      That is a good point. It might make sense to just cut the part to Peterson/Ridge Metra and instead end the route at Bryn Mawr or Thorndale Red Line. Alternatively, the route could go up Clark from Ridge to Devon/Clark.
