Northwest Limited Pace Bus

I dig this.
I take the bus now (until my car gets fixed) and it has always been enjoyable. Bus is clean, can get packed, and the drivers are friendly. Also runs on time give or take a min.
Heard stories about bus operations that made me go hmm… but as thus far it hasn’t hindered me any…

I first took this bus route back in late December 2005 to Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg, and I fell in love with it.
Love the ride it always offers on its way to Woodfield through Rosemont, Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, and Schaumburg.
Love the fact that it travels down I-​90, the Northwest Tollway (now Jane Addams Memorial Tollway). Not many Pace buses do that nowadays I see. The 352Express route has been discontinued unfortunately.
Love how often it runs. About every 10 – 20 minutes during weekday rush hour periods and every 30 minutes in between, and every 30 – 45 minutes to an hour on Saturdays and Sundays.
After deciding on wanting to get a job at Woodfield, or anywhere in the area that this route serves, I considered this route to be the go-​to route in the event I found employment out there. And because all trips take you to the Rosemont Blue Line late at night every night, you’ll be home from work in no time, and so will I.
I love you #606!
