CTA needs to do something about the absolute number of these signs that are just always stuck like this
Sorry, I made fun of this before reading it. It's bleaker than I thought. Holy shit!! If your entire city has only 22 families showed up for the lottery for 50k/each subsidy on 10 homes, this is literally just subsidizing the highest info home buyers.
I live in an old, poorly ventilated apartment. It was bad enough my particulate sensor went off randomly back in June. We got air filters for each room. Feeling real smug today. Had to cancel a beach event, switched to board games at home. Flyer advertises the air quality
Follow on question, for any of the below origin/destination pairs, should I take an extremely long two train trip or a short one bus trip, do you think?
Quick question if I live here how do I get around? (Yellow line has zero stops in selected area).
DC has added 23 miles of bus lanes in the last few years, why can't we do this???
Ok am I wrong or is this a crazy ad to be government sponsored
Some of these Pace routes are really putting up numbers for weekday ridership* *The number is 2
Ideal land use for a station receiving 10 minute or better service pretty much all day
I'm sorry, the 626 goes on the highway for large parts of its trip 1 way, but not the other? Am I seeing this right? Like if you wanna go to the mall or whatever you have to take it down the highway then transfer to the next one going the other way??

Hey @chicagocta.bsky.social it's been a minute since RPM stations fully reopened, can we get the Night Owl service map updated?
Wait how did I not see anybody on here talking about this???
I regret to say that I have borrowed a friend's car and driven to the suburbs with my girlfriend for the one piece of good culture here: Chilis triple Dipper and three for me
alrighty I am on the NITA Takes Effect: What Comes Next for Regional Transit Call. will do some live blogging of the call on this thread
Two 94 buses near California and Dickens. One 16 minutes late within 2 miles of the beginning of its run. Scheduled every 15 minutes. Bus shoulda been turned around early or deadheaded for a bit but no.
Near my girlfriends and getting to witness the birth of four (4) single family detached homes to take up the space that a historic church previously had. This could have been a beautiful stack of apartments instead it's literally just four, six bedroom homes.
Sorry for the poor quality I am sleepy and also didn't bring my laptop to my girlfriends
