I’m not entirely sure what your point is…

My point is that JHS consistently dismisses safety concerns because “nothing ever happened to me or my kids”. Is the CTA bus along 55th Street safe? Probably. However:

It is significantly less safe if it is the OP’s first public bus ride.

It is significantly less safe if the OP is alone.

It is significantly less safe if the OP is traveling with luggage that identifies him or her as a tourist.

It is significantly less safe if the OP is traveling in the evening after rush hour.

It is significantly less if the OP is traveling on a Friday or Saturday night.

We don’t know the OP’s situation, and to blithely provide advice to the OP to take the CTA without reservations is terrible advice.
