Chicago Transit Authority 1960's era bus stop sign on West 111th Street. Chicago Illinois USA. August 1990.

1960's era CTA bus stop sign. Chicago Illinois. August 1990.

Hello everyone!
Welcome aboard the "Bus Day" edition of Eddie's Railfan Page.
I took this photo in August of 1990, on West 111th Street near South Pulaski Road in Chicago's Mount Greenwood neighborhood. The Chicago Transit Authority was in a transition period when I took this photo in August of 1990. These green and cream colored CTA bus stop signs from the 1960's were still standing on many a Chicago street corner in 1990, but newer blue and white ones were rapidly replacing them.
Aside from a "New Image" white, blue and red color scheme introduced on the old rehabbed buses in 1989, new buses were also on order.
