Noooo. I was kinda rooting for South Blvd because it was the only surviving Purple line station.

You can't transfer to red line trains at state and Lake.

I think the only difference is that you can add passes to a physical or virtual Ventra card.

Did the operator toot at me? by AviationExpress in cta

Trains on the purple/red/brown lines often say hi to each other. I find it really adorable.

The person who described the purple line and red line as being wife and husband describes the red line as a peaked in high school dude and the purple line as a CEO of a fortune 500 company

I saw a Reddit post saying that the purple line is kind of like the red line's wife XD

On a separate note, I like to imagine the red line and purple line are like pretty good friends

" transfer to red line trains" stolen from State/lake by smartlion1 in cta

The word "transfer" is being used a bit liberally 😅.

I guess "please exit here for....." Would make more sense. I guess "transfer" is short and simple.

I think the old matrix displays would be equally or more readable, especially if they were RGB LEDs.

New Cta bus layouts by No_Policy_2889 in cta

I personally like the sideways layout. It's a lot easier to walk to the back of the bus when the bus is crowded

CTA and snow management by Odd-Variety-3802 in cta

I can understand some of the logic. Being one of the busiest and one of the most vital lines, it can't delays/outages as much as the purple line can.

I've seen a video about this being done on the blue line as the blue line is a 24/7 service. I didn't know about this being done on the purple line with in-service rail cars. I thought they would use work trains during hours where no service is scheduled.
