CTA needs to get with the times. I almost always use public transportation in other cites and have found that the CTA, while not the worst, doesn't even make it to my top 5 (Bern [or any Swiss city], London, New York, Cologne and D.C.). Aren't there enough world-wide examples for us to be able to develop a better system? AND a better business/budgeting plan?
Why are we paying more for the same (and in some cases, worse) shitty service? Late busses and trains, piggy-backing busses, poor station upkeep, poor train/bus upkeep, etc. etc. etc. And the Red Line--has anyone ever cleaned those train cars?
