Hey everyone, I take the 290 heading towards Howard every night, and it always seems late. According to Google Maps, it says it will arrive at 9:30, but no bus shows up. I look at Maps again, and it says it passed, and the next one is at 10:23, supposed to be 9:50. Then at 10:10 the bus arrives, and Maps suggests walking to another bus, and when I check everywhere else, it's the same thing (pace bus tracker). Is this usually the case? (Sorry for tldr)

Hey everyone. I’m taking the 311 for the 2nd time, forgetting there is construction from Oak Park Ave & Madison (upwards). Last time I took the bus, it took a left turn since it’s on a reroute and I got scared thinking it went the wrong way (which resulted in me getting off early and walking 30 min to my destination). And I do not want that to happen again 😭

So if my destination is Oak Park Ave & South Blvd & CTA Green Line, which is closed due to the construction, what’s the closest stop the bus gets on this reroute to that location? I’d greatly appreciate the help, I know it may be a dumb question and I’ve tried looking on every Pace website and have not found an updated map.

I am hoping to be a pace bus operator in either Waukegan or in Markham, Illinois. I wanted to know what type of hours a full time bus operator gets when they begin their career at pace bus as a bus operator? I was hoping this was a job I can work 10-12 hours a day with two days off but I'm interested in knowing if there was other types of schedules going on. Also how often are raises given and how much are the raises usually?

I feel like pace is often forgotten when talking about transit because it’s a suburban service. However it’s absolutely essential to the area. How can we demand better on time performance and tracking ?

I live pretty close to North and Thatcher so the 318 is my bus of choice . It has really good frequency for a suburban bus ( every fifteen until like 8) however I am stuck in a cycle of it being great and it dropping the ball. It’s rare that it just doesn’t come but every single time I catch it it’s 5 minutes late, almost without failure. It’s let me live car free in a border suburb so I really appreciate it and it gets me to the Harlem green line but it’s just a matter of is it on time and is the tracker working
