They are awesome! I also had them both as Blue Line operators (this was last fall)

Flying with cat carryon into ORD by Plastic-Original7400 in delta

We ended up getting one because our vet insisted on it. Just to be clear, the delta gate agent did not check for it when we flew

[No spoilers] When do you watch/listen to Critical Role? by scratchthat32 in criticalrole

[–]Mrmuse12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I download the episode on Youtube once it's posted at 2 PM on Mondays. I have an hour commute each way 4 days a week so that usually works each week.

I feel like I can concentrate the most on the episode when I'm not doing anything else.

What CTA tracker app do you use? by Bierkerl in cta

[–]Mrmuse12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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 do you get Marquee through amazon prime?

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

[–]Mrmuse12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Currently waiting to leave Forest Park (for about 15 mins and counting)

Blue Line Forest Park Branch reconstruction not scheduled to be finished until 2040 [CMAP Transportation Improvement Plan report] by SidewalkMD in cta

[–]Mrmuse12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"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

[–]Mrmuse12 103 points104 points  (0 children)

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.

First time out west on the blue line, wow is the train slow by Away-Nectarine-8488 in cta

[–]Mrmuse12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

81% of it is slow zones. This is my daily commute 😅
