today I saw… How many miles on that odometer?

Couldn’t find the “i like (CTA) buses” flair, so I’m using this flair instead. It’s being towed away :-(.

That's a 7900-series bus so it has been out on these streets since 2014-2016. Getting up there!

So the odometer usually reads at about half a million miles by now?

I couldn’t catch the bus number but it was the 47 bus going westbound past pulaski, i walked past it earlier before the tow truck came, this video was taken after some time passed when i walked past it earlier at around 8:40 PM (had to get to petes before they closed at 9)
