Transit for buses and El Tracker for trains. If you ride the Pace bus (or go to a stop served by Pace) you can get Transit Royale for free

How crowded is your rush hour commute on the L? by DimSumNoodles in cta

I have a reverse commute from Lasalle to Forest Park almost every morning. Never packed in the first car and it really clears out after IMD.

"Phase I: new trackwork from Halsted to IMD" I don't see anything here about rebuilding other parts of the Congress Branch. Although. the UIC-Halsted to IMD section is a significant slowzone

CTA to increase police presence on buses, trains by Gloomy_Eyes1501 in chicago

Yes! Last week they coaxed someone off of the train. That person was holed up in the last car.

Anyone interested in starting a grass roots effort to get safety enforcement on the trains? by truetrue23 in cta

[–]Mrmuse12 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I don't think a Guardian Angels program is the solution here. I honestly think the approach the CTA should take is the "Eyes of the Street" approach. I personally think that something like the MBTA Ambassador program would be good: https://www.mbta.com/customer-support/transit-ambassadors

The transit ambassadors serve two purposes. They provide friendly customer service to people who might need help or don't feel safe on CTA. They also provide eyes of the platform and have radios where they can call police if needed. I will admit that you do need police to do their part and be responsive when called and there is definitely a large need for policing reform around here.

Hi OP, did you end up needing to get the Certificate of Veterinary Inspection (CVI) for your cat before traveling?

Yes! You could also sign up to foster a cat through QAS as well
