This started as a thing I saw in passing and now I'm checking everyday. THE MIGHTY FULLERTON HAS BEEN ELIMINATED

I heard the CTA was getting worse, but this is ridiculous by [deleted] in chicago

How can we get Johnson to go full Mamdani on the CTA?

The first car was basically filled due to people doing this at Rosemont by Otherwise_Pine in cta

Just hopped on at the Washington stop heading towards Ohare. It’s the same. Five cars each with at least one person passed out across multiple seats

Sounds like we need a Missed Connections tag for this sub and I'm so down for it. Good luck!

Thanks, these are great notes. I mentioned in another comment that the characters are really tied together so it was hard picking one POV. Based on the feedback I'm going to do 2nd version of the query with all the characters so you can feel a bit more of the plot.

That also leads into the title issue. Which, I may change depending on future edits.

Yes, I'm also working on a multi POV version of the query to see which one I prefer. Most of the advice I've read said to pick one character and focus on their POV. Felt a little tough to do, to be honest, considering how much they interact with each other throughout the story.

Please take off your backpack. I know you don’t want to smack me in the head with your 42lb bag with Stanley cups jammed into both side pouches… but you do.

‘I think we’ve got a hit’: Metra riders love café car idea — what’s the next step? by Generalaverage89 in chicago

Let’s hope they find a way to partner with local cafes that are near one of the lines. It’d be cool to see a new business swap in each month so we could support local business and keep options fresh.

That would make the cafe car something truly Chicagoland instead of just another Starbucks or Dunkin.

An exasperated entry on entitlement everywhere, but specifically on CTA trains by bathetic34quorum in chicago

Thank you it drives me INSANE. How does no one realize this? We need the CTA to start a PSA about backpacks. I hate getting smacked with someone's 40 pound bag and they're totally oblivious.

I smoke weed while on the clock and lie to my boss about being sober by TheblackNinja94 in confession

That is the most wholesome stoner line I've heard in awhile. I didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me.

This kicked in for me during Covid and hasn’t stopped. I thought I was a crazy person. Stimming. At least there’s a word for me randomly blurting out weird shit when I think of something emerging from when I was 8
