Not all city streets are suitable for heavy bus traffic. That’s why they have zoning to decide where uses like bus terminals get located and they are not usually on two lane streets with lots of pedestrian traffic. It is nice to be able to wait inside the Union was not built to be a bus terminal. When it was a few O-Hare busses it was OK but when you start running 20 a day that’s a lot and I don’t think the impact is all good. You have air issues from idling busses, visual pollution, and the traffic safety issue as it’s hard to see peds coming out from behind busses to cross the street. I think the issue needs some study.
