Chicago's Bus Fleets Need More Time to Electrify
Переглядів 2,8 тис.Рік тому
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. Thank you to @ChicagolandTransit for providing some of the footage in this video.

Y’all never thought about crime what if it comes up again again
what do u mean by getting harassed because i see weird activity going on by the library aka jackson
My ranking: State/Lake, LaSalle/Van Buren, Addison, Kedzie, Wellington, Clark/Lake, Western, Washington/Wells, Merchandise Mart, Chicago/Franklin, Quincy, Fullerton, Belmont, Kimball, HWL-State/Van Buren, & Washington/Wabash
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.
Bus passes my old elementary school on 31st/Rhodes and the apt bldg I grew up in on 33rd/Rhodes
Chicago is dying. Look what they keep electing. Who are you kidding?
Who’s from Chicago?
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'..........
I lived right by Southport!
Division should be much lower. I commute on the Blue Line and if I am not wearing a mask, I am holding my breath when the train pulls up to Division because the stench is just ridiculous. I feel so bad for everyone who relies on that station.
I haven't noticed that, but my sense of smell is really bad, so it may have still been there.
I visited western station with my dad when we took a trip to Chicago just to see the piece of the Berlin Wall. Just for that reason alone it should not be last. What other transit station just casually has a historical artifact just sitting there by the entrance? (Besides Rome)
I feel like this channel is rushing out videos too quickly , and as a result , not meeting the quality expected. Half of these station reviews are too surface-level to be meaningful or even accurate.
Very high quality as always! Can't wait to see what comes next. Love getting some more Chicago lore, as an NYC resident.
Montrose is nice but only having one stair and one escalator that only goes from the platform to the street on each side is annoying. Especially when you are trying to make the train and the people in front of you are taking up the entire stair at a snails pace
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.
It serves the Illinois Masonic Medical Center and gets a good amount of ridership. It is actually quite convenient.
considering most of the riders ship on wellington comes from hostipal staff and patients, it is one of the most neccessay for health, safety, and socio-economic accessibility to that service
Orange next🟧
let's goooo
They NEED an auxiliary entrance on thr north side for the west bound platform
Ok, i love the at grade stations, but I dont think any of then could be in my top 5 because of their lack of canopy. Those platforms are long, and in strong precipitation, everyone waits in the 'mezzanines' or in the heat lamp areas.
thats definitely their biggest downfalls
The Washington/Wabash opened back in 2017.
Love your videos, I would love for you to talk about the Discontinued CTA routes you would want back
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.

Good Thoughts On The CTA Brown Line My Friend👍🏻💭🟤🚞🚉!!!
We need a pink line station ranking!
Nah Clark and lake dose not deserve the hate
I see new BurjTransit CTA Stations by video, I click.
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
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.
@@BurjTransityea true but they could operate anti direction wells south and wabash north but yea true it’s not a bad idea but i think keeping the orange and brown line is alr bc the trip would be like an hour and 30 minutes of driving to kimball and midway as the blue forest park branch is very poor condition pass imd and it takes like almost an hour and 40 minutes to get to ohare and back addison to ohare is abt 25 minutes to get the airport but forest park is like abt 30 to 40 minutes u should talk abt the forest park branch in ur next video
The Clark/Lake subway is way more better then elevated the subway design is very cool the elevated design but the problem i have is homeless at the elevators and bird poop aswell the station is ok
The blue line
??
Thanks for my request BurjTransit!!!
The park under the Harold Washington library is horrendous
🟠Orange line🟠
DO ORANGE LINE PLEASEE
Prob not because between Roosevelt and the Loop are already mentioned so he don't need to do orange line one
@@Nvideofilmsproductionsbut what about the stops after Roosevelt
Nice job highlighting the art installations on the Brown Line
Bro when's part 3 of the L challenge series coming?!!
Probably around Christmas time.
@@BurjTransit Awesome good luck.
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.
As someone who lives in the west loop (and has for my entire life), loved the video edit: I definitely agree with the racine bus line, it would definitely be way easier to get to other parts of the city and further north.
I can get behind the transit oriented development but 20-story building? Considering Chicago's history regarding the south side at best it can be perceived as insensitive and at worst racist/classis a height of 5 to 6 stories is more palatable.
I appreciate the number of 7000s that made the video!!
"L challenge"
Can you do green line again for Damen green line station
Why are you filming this new station at night , you can hardly see , how the station is . How is it possible that the station has so little lighting in the evening ? The perception of safety at night for women, and people in general, is .... very low imo !👎 Not fully roofed platforms , stairs high up and then down again to reach the platforms ...👎
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.
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.
Thanks for doing the video. I really liked your video. I need to get over there one of these days and check it out. Maybe I'll ride the Damen bus over from somewhere like Foster and I'll get off at lake and I'll go get on the Damon lake station.
