Lincoln bus was always a mess as well. I think part of it is likely that those north side diagonals are not very wide but very popular with many destinations so the buses have to do a lot of waiting for private vehicles.

Why does the bus, the larger of the vehicles, not simply eat the private vehicles?
Yes please. I want to see the busses chomp down on the little cars. And with each successive car pellet munched, the bus increases in size and speed. Eventually, it's a quintuple-decker block-long behemoth, that sprouts wings, and can get you from Howard to 95th in 10 mins.
I wish they'd get rid of the parking lanes and make brt/wide bike lanes but meter deal
FWIW, it's many similar bus lines that are equally as frustrating. I have the luxury/stubbornness/foolhardiness to shift my transportation method to cycling but everyone doesn't have that option
Yeah, bus frequency is definitely a bit lacking in Chicago. Especially on major streets like Clark. Obviously they can't run at subway like frequency but like 10-15 min between buses really shouldn't be too much to ask for!
