CTA Makes Permanent Extensions to Four South and West Side Bus Routes
The Chicago Transit board approved permanent changes to three bus experiments aimed at improving service for communities on Chicago’s South and West sides. The permanent changes provide stronger bus-rail system connections for riders of the #31 31st, #52 Kedzie, #94 California and #157 Streeterville/Taylor routes.
“The pandemic impacted daily travel habits for thousands of Chicagoans and these service changes reflect our responsiveness to the needs and desires of the communities we serve and those who are dependent on public transit services,” said Dorval R. Carter, Jr., president of the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA).
The service changes are the result of CTA working with the surrounding communities and area partners, as well as part of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s Invest South/West community improvement initiative. Community support for each of the routes has been strong and has helped grow ridership since the experiments began, according to CTA.
