Downtown Chicago Bus and "L" Rush Hour

Starting off with two Green Line "L" trains passing each other as they round the Loop's northeast corner at the Lake/Wabash curve, this video was taken over a period of about an hour and a half of rush-period bus and "L" service (but mostly buses in this video) in the Loop. Seen here are New Flyer 40-ft low floor and 60-ft articulated hybrid buses, as well as NovaBus 40-footers, on various routes, some frequent, local routes, some express routes, and some limited-stop, rush hour only routes. Locations are, in order, Lake/Wabash, State/Van Buren and the State St corridor in front of the Harold Washington Library, the La Salle St "Canyon" and the Financial District, Madison/Wells, the east entrance to Union Station, and lastly, Canal St outside of Union Station.

I must be used to New York, but I was expecting to see way more people in this video for rush hour.

Not many people were using the bike racks. It's very popular here in St Petersburg.

@MaxxRedSox What I hate Maxx is big trucks and suv's with tinted windows, try backing out of a parking space with one of those on either side of you.

[@Kartracer6]

@wawonas LOL I've seen homeless guys with wheel chairs driving down the middle of the street. I can't tell you how many times I've almost hit a homeless guy who was just walking thru the center of downtown traffic
