You’ve been paying all your money, buying passes and Chicago cards and now it’s finally about to pay off. When? We still can’t say, but at least we have a little more information.
Yes, that’s right. Mayor Daley has challenged the CTA to work to produce on-time buses, cleaner and quieter trains, attractive shops in the rail stations and fare machines that accept credit cards.
Are you excited, because I know I am…NOT?
I mean, don’t get me wrong. I am very excited it sounds like a great plan. But the real question is when can we expect these changes? I don’t want to get my hopes up too high.
The other day I waited outside, in the cold, for 20 minutes for a bus that almost made me late for my appointment. And I don’t always have cash on me, so it would be great to be able to use my credit card, instead of spending an extra two dollars to take money out of the ATM.
Daley announced a $227 million project, to help improve the CTA to make it a better place for the dedicated riders.
I hope this project begins sometime soon, because the CTA has a lot of making up to do considering all it has put us through in the past few months. CTA riders have waited too long. Its time for a CTA revolution. Well maybe not that bizarre but it is time for a change.
How long do you think this "super" project will take?
