- Declanomous 9y agoThey are in the same building. Generally it's a single dunkin donuts or something similar. The building is generally owned by the CTA however. I'm from Chicago, and I was a bit surprised when I went to NYC for the first time and saw stores on the opposite side of the turnstile. I know this is quite common throughout the world, but it is relatively uncommon in the United States. As far as I know there are not any stores in Chicago that can only be accessed by paying a fare.
- kasey_junk 9y agoDoes that make a difference to the thought about providing rental income? I'd think that in order to maximize the value of the space you'd want to make it as appealing to renters as possible, which would mean making it more available. To answer the question of the 5 stops I use most 4 of them have shops. None of them are on the platforms, but the platforms are very small. All 4 of those that have shops have been completely remodeled in the last 15 years to make the shops more appealing or to add shops that didn't exist.
