MORNING RUSH HOUR SERVICE ADDED!!!!

The CTA's 31st Street bus through Chinatown and Bridgeport will keep running at least through June of 2020 and will have morning rush hour service starting in September, under a plan approved by the agency's board of directors on Wednesday.

The #31 bus is a pilot program, which will not be made permanent unless it gets enough riders. It was set to expire this June, before the board decided to try it for another year. Community activists have been pushing the CTA to add morning hours to the #31's current schedule, which runs from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays.

The more hours a bus route runs, the more riders it needs to make it worth the expense, according to the CTA. The new #31 extended service that starts in September will have a ridership target of 1,107 riders daily, up from the current target of 830 riders daily. In March, ridership on the route was 511, almost doubled from last summer.
