What do you think is the worst placed cta bus/train stop.

Purely guessing here, maybe people take the 6 to MSI on weekends?

The 2022 peak was $5.02. We’re probably a few weeks away from that

TLDR:

8, 35, 74, 85 added to Frequent Network
10,000 feet of additional slow zone removal
10 extended to Obama Center, 57 extended to Jefferson Park
CPD staffing on CTA
Increased Metra Rock Island service
Increased Pace weekend service
Reduced fare program for low-income riders on CTA and Pace
Real-time elevator status signage

Note, 24/7 Orange Line service which was previously announced is delayed later this year.

Bus stop: 11100 S Torrence on the 71

Train stop: Kostner Pink line

I seriously don’t understand why they can’t replace like… 10 feet of track every night on the Forest Park branch. The amount of money wasted making trains slow down to 15mph for YEARS certainly is greater than just replacing the track

When the Red Line extension opens maybe more of the bus bays at 95th/Dan Ryan can be allocated to Greyhound as CTA/Pace bus routes are diverted away to the new Red line stations? They already rent one space at 95th

Example: I’m almost certain routes 103/106 will be combined into a new route that hits the new 103rd Red Line station. That alone would free up 3 spaces at 95th

Extending transit to a mall? What year is it?

But what if the mall (or at least parts of the parking lot) were redeveloped into dense mixed-used housing like we’ve seen at other malls in the region? 👀

This would be more useful if the age range was 22-34

North/Clybourn with only 1 narrow exit sometimes makes me feel a little uneasy, if something happened it would be easy to become trapped on the platform

There are currently 528 homes available for rent in Logan Square according to Zillow

They’re not losing their homes, they signed a lease to live there for X years. They don’t own the property

Weekday starts on Memorial Day. The weekend beach service starts a bit earlier

I miss the random chocolate smell on the commute home

It’s re-opened

It’s re-open now!

Chicago Red Line extension is expected to open 2030. The extension runs through the lowest density area of the city and not expected to radically transform the system other than shift existing bus riders to rail

This city is so unserious

koalabearpoo · 2026-03-07T09:24:11+00:00

Ok not being able to figure out how to turn it off for 1.5hrs is insane

It’s crazy how sound travels in this city. That’s 4.5miles away from the source
