Just wait till you get a mayor who has decided to kill public transit. Trains/buses don't show up, they're packed with homeless using it as a bed and a toliet, and gangsters who smoke it up. On top of that they're not running the schedule, but "keeping the schedule intact". That's what's been happening in Chicago. (Thanks Lori "we're a car city" Lightfoot)
- reaperducer 4y agoI'm not sure you can blame Lightfoot for that. I've lived in Chicago on-and-off for 30 years -- never with a car -- and the CTA has always been like that. That's why some L cars have a "hobo corner," and why there's (was?) a homeless shelter at the O'Hare airport Blue Line station. The CTA may be smelly, but it beats getting shot at by thugs on the expressways.
- monksy 4y agoIt was never this bad. It's gotten worse over the last 2 years. https://www.wbez.org/stories/chicago-cta-riders-on-delays-safety-filth-smoking/00289237-4e60-4d9a-b355-8923fe433449 https://www.wbez.org/stories/chicago-cta-riders-on-delays-sa... Also, traffic has gotten a heck of a lot worse as well. Also the homeless have moved into the airport.
