Fresh Off the Presses: Bus Tracker Expands

Posted May 5, 1:19 p.m.

Are you oh-so envious of the 14 bus route riders who can look at their Internet-enabled devices and practically predict the arrival of their next bus?  Well, there are 18 more routes to be jealous of beginning May 19:

  • #9 Ashland
  • #X9 Ashland Express
  • #X20 Washington/Madison Express
  • #21 Cermak
  • #44 Wallace/Racine
  • #47 47th
  • #48 South Damen
  • #50 Damen
  • #51 51st #52A South Kedzie
  • #53A South Pulaski
  • #55 Garfield
  • #X55 Garfield Express
  • #59 59th/61st
  • #60 Blue Island/26th
  • #63 63rd
  • #67 67th/69th/71st
  • #75 74th/75th

So, what's up, riders?  Are you using the bus tracker?  How is it working for you?  If you don't have it yet, and are not on this latest list (like me), tell me how badly you want it...

Lost: A Rider's Jacket

Posted May 5, 10:19 a.m.

Good morning, public transit peepz!  Happy Cinco de Mayo.  I know it's a warm, gorgeous day here in the Chi, but remember that we live in the Windy City.  That's why I need some help locating a lost jacket for a rider.  It's time for another "Going Public" lost & found mission.

Here's what we're looking for:

"I'm hoping someone has found my jacket. It's a light weight black with two white stripes down the sleeves. It has the Truman State University logo on the left chest. I think I lost it on the #70 bus going east around 5:30/5:45pm sunday may 4th. If you find it please let me know via email at nickfreed@gmail.com. Thanks so much!"

--Nick Freed

If you've seen this jacket, please help Nick out by e-mailing him.  Looking for something you lost?  Go ahead and post it below.
