I took this photograph recently one day at work, back in 
November of 2015.

We are facing north on South Cicero Avenue. I was driving 
my assigned bus to the arrivals terminal at Chicago's own
Midway International Airport, when I was now being
stopped by a red traffic signal.

Seen through the front windshield of my bus, is a northbound
suburban Pace bus, waiting at the intersection of South Cicero
Avenue and West 63rd Street. This Pace bus, is enroute to the
Midway Airport CTA / Pace transit station ahead.
