    I don't know, the CTA seems to be functioning okay.

      The CTA/RTA is highly corrupt. Unsurprising for Chicago. The usual kind of stuff: patronage hiring, pension shenanigans. A former executive director stepped in front of a Metra train on the day he was going to be fired for taking $475,000 of unapproved vacation pay.

        At least the trains are mostly working, unlike NYC or DC. Corruption coupled with performance is more palatable than corruption that leads to chaos.
