Riding the #60 is more than just getting from point A to point B—it’s a vibe.

It starts its journey from this scenic view by Millenium Park, then winds through the vibrant heart of Little Village, serving a slice of Chicago’s culture.
Think vibrant street art, iconic city views, and the unmistakable energy of the neighborhoods it connects.
If you’re looking for an authentic CTA journey, the 60 is where it’s at.

Sometimes buses need a vacation too.
The 9 Ashland doesn’t go on Lake Shore Drive. The stress must be getting to the 9 as it’s one of CTA’s highest ridership routes, even beating the infamous 79.
There are also plans to turn the 9 into a BRT route on Ashland.
With all of this weighing on the 9 it’s no surprise to see it taking a scenic detour.
This spot is also a terrifying place to take pictures as cars always fly down Lake Shore Drive.
However you are also rewarded with Out Of Service buses that are still sporting their route destinations from random routes in the city.
What are your thoughts on the Ashland BRT?
