CTA's Ride the Routes: Route 146 Southbound (Real-time)

Ever wonder what it would be like to see Chicago from the point-of-view of a Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus operator? Well, now you can, thanks to our new “Ride the Routes” video series! You no longer have to imagine what it would feel like to navigate a busy city street, constantly on the lookout for pedestrians, cars, trucks, delivery vans, motorcycles, bicycles - and the next bus stop - all while city landmarks and destinations pass by on your right or left… or loom ever closer right in front of you. The entire life of our bustling City is right outside your windshield!
Now, the CTA offers an exciting companion piece to its popular 2014 video series, “Ride the Rails.” That collection of videos - highlighting CTA’s eight rail lines, with each seen from the perspective of the rail operator - has had more than 3 million views worldwide since its original release and 2019 update.
Our stunning 4K “Ride the Routes” videos follow some of the City’s most popular bus routes, taking you, for example, down Jean Baptiste Point DuSable Lake Shore Drive and the Mag Mile or past Soldier Field or right to Navy Pier.
Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride!

👏👏👏 I'm very happy with this new playlist... I was already addicted to 🚊 subway routes, and now 🚌 bus routes... the cool thing about the real team is being able to see details of the streets and avenues of the beautiful Chicago. Thanks, CTA!!! I will watch them all!!! 😊😊😊

151 at midnight is chill too. I take that instead of walking down to the redline. Lol

Wow what an awesome way to see all of Chicago besides the subway route videos which I love. This route we are on here is fantastic and if ever I come there I intend to ride this bus just to see the city. What a tour we got. Ty for all the fantastic videos. Will be looking for more I hope soon to come.

Drove Checker and Yellow cab, in the 70's an 80's, you really get to see the whole city,that life long city dwellers, of 30, an 40, years will never see.I prefer, to drive @ night, less traffic and the night time crowd, we're better tippers.My two favorite buildings @ that time, we're Harbor Point and Lake Point Towers.I asked a fare what floor that he live on and he said the 49, I asked could I come in to see and he said yes. What a view.....

How about honoring the American League Central champion Chicago White Sox by doing all the bus routes that either pass by/near or stop at Guaranteed Rate Field?
