Updated bus route timetables eff. January 8

Beginning January 8, 2023 (or the first regular weekday after, for services that operate on weekdays, only), updated schedules will go into effect for some CTA bus routes.

Many of these changes are part of a schedule optimization initiative to provide more consistent, reliable service. The 52 routes that are part of this initiative are marked with an asterisk (*) below.

These advance schedules are provided as a courtesy, and may be of particular interest to our customers who travel during off-peak hours.

No changes to 'L' schedules are happening at this time.

Routes that have no changes are not listed on this page, as their current schedules (already published) will remain the same.
