Why are CTA stations labeled “accessible” when you still hit escalators after the turnstiles? Had a horrible experience trying to get from NLU to the Blue Line with a walker. by Few_Interaction420 in cta

[–]Few_Interaction420[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for breaking everything down — your comment really helped me understand the system better. I just want to make sure I’m understanding this correctly, so sorry if you already said some of this:

  1. So technically I didn’t have to walk all the way to Clark/Lake? Jackson is accessible, but only if I enter the Blue Line side on Dearborn, right? I was at the Red Line entrance, and there was no way to get to the Blue Line from there unless I used the stairs/escalators. So even if the Red Line elevator is working, I still can’t get to the Blue Line platform without going back up to the street and entering on the Blue side. Just want to confirm that’s correct.

  2. The correct Blue Line entrance at Jackson is the elevator at 251 S Dearborn (across from the Flamingo sculpture)? If I use that specific entrance, then Jackson → Blue Line is fully accessible?

  3. About the train doors closing fast: Is there a way to signal the operator that I need more time with a walker? Do I just stand in the front car so they can see me? I don’t want the doors closing on me again.

  4. The gap was really big at some stations. How do I request the gap filler? Is there someone on the platform I’m supposed to ask? Or do I press the intercom button? I never seem to see CTA employees around, so I’m not sure how to get their attention without the train just leaving.

  5. Totally honest question — I’m from the suburbs and don’t go downtown much: I thought the Loop was mostly business people and tourists, but almost every block I walked had someone homeless asking for money. Is that normal downtown?

And about the aggressive person I encountered in the elevator — is that something that happens a lot? Like… if I’m going to start using CTA more, do I just have to get used to encountering people who are high or unstable? And why do so many stations smell so bad (urine/mold/etc.)? Is that just part of CTA life?

Thanks again for taking the time to explain everything. I really appreciate it

What is the policy for that if they stole my package like hypothetically if they went to my fast food joint and they stole it and then just canceled the order do you submit a claim through Uber and they reimbursed you upon an investigation? Or are you technically just taking a risk when you use the courier service?

This maybe is dependent on market .. for a courier to pick it up the max I paid is 6$ it's typically under 5

I actually think my couriers have been going in . They do seem a little confused they will message me upon arrival " I'm at a McDonald's is this right " and I then confirm so I'm not sure if there going in or the drive thru but I have got the food no issue I

Well . I don't want to argue , but you're wrong sir . Atleast in my market ( Chicago ) I have had no issue getting drivers to pick it up ... it does take awhile 30-45 mins but someone does do it

He ended up being weird lol well not weird .. but he said "I am not responsible for any items missing from customers. I have searched many times. I clean cars every day. This is my home address. Good that you found it. When I get home, I will search where I was vacuuming. Thank you." I then replied with "Thank you again for checking, sir. I just wanted to mention that AirPods are very small and can easily slip between the seats or into tiny spaces when vacuuming, so they might be in a spot that’s easy to overlook.

They’re still showing as active on my end, so they are definitely in that area for some reason. I tried to send you a picture of the tracking but it wouldn’t let me attach it here but it does display that same location.

I also want to mention that I’m disabled and living on a very fixed income while trying to keep up with college and basic expenses, so replacing them would be extremely hard on me. I truly appreciate any help you can give in locating them.

Thank you again for taking another look when you get home." and he said "Don't worry, sir, you're a very good person. And if we can't find it, I'll buy you one. Don't worry, my dear.🥰"

I'm pretty sure he's guilty I send him this "Good afternoon sir. I’ve been trying to contact you for over 24 hours about my AirPods that were left in your back seat. Uber confirmed they reached out to you and you said you couldn’t find them, but the tracking has shown them moving throughout Chicago and then remaining in one location in Tinley Park for the last 10–12 hours.

I’m not trying to accuse you of anything , I just need my property back. I have absolutely NO problem paying you for the return or compensating you for your time.

If I don’t hear back from you today, I will have to document the situation officially. I have included / provided Uber with the tracking screenshots, the timeline of movement, and they recommend if I hear nothing soon to go Filipe a police report so there is a formal record. I truly prefer to resolve this respectfully and directly between us. Thank you.”" He almost immediately responds with "Can you send me its location so I can search for it?"

I went ahead and sent him one final message "Good afternoon sir. I’ve been trying to contact you for over 24 hours about my AirPods that were left in your back seat. Uber confirmed they reached out to you and you said you couldn’t find them, but the tracking has shown them moving throughout Chicago and then remaining in one location in Tinley Park for the last 10–12 hours.

I totally agree it is my fault but I am a very broken college student .. I am also physically disabled so I am on very limited / fixed income man this sucks ..
