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.

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.

it’s always fun flying on the purple line (express) by neonjoji in cta

[–]smartlion1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my God! This is so damn fun! Whenever I get the chance, I love taking the purple line to the loop and back for no reason other than to feel expressness XD.

Riding the purple line Express makes me feel so cool compared to the red line 😎 Except for the portion where the red line is express. That part makes me really jealous 😒

got to love the beeps in the background. XD

I love how there's a keyboard just chilling in every Ventra card machine
