CTA Adjusts Route 72 Stop for Street Work
CTA relocates eastbound #72 North bus stop at North/Taylor to northwest corner starting Feb 27
CTA Moves #72 North Bus Stop at North/Taylor
Riders catching the eastbound #72 North bus at North and Taylor will need to cross the street starting Friday. The Chicago Transit Authority announced the bus stop on the northeast corner will temporarily move to the northwest corner beginning February 27, 2026, at 9:00 AM. Officials haven't said when the stop will return to its original location.
Minor Operational Adjustment
The CTA classified the relocation as a Bus Stop Note, indicating a minor operational adjustment rather than a major service change. Transit officials didn't provide a specific reason for the temporary move. Such relocations typically occur due to construction activity, utility work, or street maintenance that makes the original stop location temporarily inaccessible. The change affects only one stop in one direction, with all other stops along the #72 North route remaining in their current locations.
Single Stop Affected
The relocation impacts only the eastbound direction of the #72 North route at the North/Taylor intersection. Passengers who normally board at the northeast corner should look for the bus stop on the northwest corner across the street. Officials said other stops along the route won't be affected by the change. The CTA didn't specify whether the temporary relocation would impact bus travel times or require riders to adjust their schedules, though officials advised passengers to allow extra time for their trips.
Change Takes Effect Friday Morning
The bus stop relocation takes effect Friday, February 27, 2026, at 9:00 AM. Transit officials haven't announced an end date for the temporary move. The CTA typically provides advance notice of stop changes through its alert system, allowing regular riders time to adjust their routines before modifications take effect.
