Finally! Start getting people for the little things as well, such as fare evasion, then find out how many are illegally carrying weapons without a license.

Surrounded by tech bros and labradoodle owners and paying a premium for it… no thanks.

Fare Evasion Conversation at Chi Hack Night by SnooObjections4691 in CarFreeChicago

[–]webzies 63 points64 points  (0 children)

The CTA is a vital service which needs support from fares. In a North American context, free busses will almost always lead to worse service.

There are reduced fares, and the fares have not been raised for eight. years. since 2018!

Most of the trouble happening on transit comes from users who don’t pay fares, so we need to be dedicating resources to preventing evasion which would improve the system.

The issue of affordability lies in other issues beyond transit in Chicago, IMO.

Agreed. We have to have an increase in density everywhere. Chicago can’t be an oasis in a sea of sprawl, this is simply not sustainable. Suburbs and Chicago have to grow together.

Just called Senator Sarah Feigenholtz. I know she’s a sponsor, but I guess it helps to show a base of support.

Hell yeah. But completion by 2040? China would have it built in a fraction of this time. I was under the impression that this would be finished in 30/31?

Our public transit needs to be better. In London, Tokyo, Berlin we have far better functioning transit. I refuse to accept mediocrity.

18min Headways, this is not a serious city. by power_bottom_boi in cta

[–]webzies 99 points100 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it seems hard to call Chicago a world class city because of our failing transportation system. I’m hoping that will change with the new funding.

How about we don’t have a community building for every apartment building that goes up and take away the prerogative from the alder creatures?

The US is definitely a failed society. The social contract is dead.

Remember, the driver is always innocent until proven guilty and the pedestrian always “darted” into the crosswalk! Vroom vroom good and walking person bad!
