The blue line is desperately in need of an express track and the CTA needs a loop that that isn't just a few city blocks.
Living in the northern part of Chicago always means traveling into the loop on the red line and then taking an endless amount of time on the blue line as it stops at a ton of stations. The bus isn't an option with luggage and Lyft is just an unpleasant extra expense on top of paying for my luggage.
- cozzyd 8y agoYou know CTA buses (unlike the trains) have a place where you can put (a limited amount of) luggage in the front, right? But it's probably still faster to take the red line to the loop...
- paulie_a 8y agoOn average the bus is probably faster if you include the time at the hospital after getting stabbed, mugged or pushed on to the tracks on the red line.

- paulie_a 8y agoThe top three links on Google news about the red line: "shots fired", "man shot", "person stabbed". Those are all incidents in the last three days. The L can be nice/mediocre but the red line has a reputation that is well justified.
- Larrikin 8y agoIts almost always easier to find a space on the train than the bus. There is the space in the front, but its just an extra stress to be separated from my luggage if the bus is crowded and theres no possibility of sitting unless you want to take up a handicapped seat.
