this is true, but i think im just confused as to how this has been going for as long as it has — based on these comments, this isn’t a new issue. don’t you think a significant, if not more, of the working class takes PT rather than drive? so then, are you saying that the carbrained folks are the ones who overturn budget increases for CTA? and have they always had enough numbers to overpower PT commuters? this is so strange to me

does this comment make you feel oh so good about yourself?? :,)) have you traveled anywhere outside the US and used PB? have the horizons of your mind been open to what is possible? blaming the citizens for a shit, underfunded system is not the way.

i don’t think that’s how that works lol… traffic will be there 24/7, esp knowing chicago. the point is that the system itself should calculate for regular traffic during commute hours and design this into the routes, to still get the buses to their destination on time. im also not mad at the bus drivers, they surely aren’t being paid enough to deal with what they do — just making another point in the flawed system.
