CTA Spy: RedRider in the House
Posted Aug. 13 at 6:53 p.m.
No, you're not looking at a new Saturday morning cartoon. You are gaping at RedRider, a new super spy who is the master of mass transit when it comes to the Red Line. He will be giving it to us straight about the Red Line and the No.147 bus, so stay tuned...
Preferred Code Name: RedRider (I have actually lived near six different Red Lines stations)
Age: 48
Neighborhood: Edgewater
Frequent Rider Of: Red Line and 147 bus mostly
What I Loathe about CTA: no communication with riders, especially on trains...giving out information more like the CIA, not the CTA
What I Love About CTA: gets me everywhere I need to go...since I cannot afford a car in Chicago

Nugget: Bucktown Spy
Posted Aug. 13, 2008 at 11:50 a.m. Watch out, CTA...we just added another spy to our espionage arsenal. Nugget, from Bucktown, is teed up to tattle on what's going on in areas of the system, including the Blue Line. Here's more about Nugget and we look forward to updates from our new "L" and bus Bond. Code Name - Nugget Age - 26 Neighborhood - Bucktown Frequent Rider of - Blue Line, Fullerton & Western bus lines What I loathe about the CTA - it doesn't try hard enough, it can't make money What I love about the CTA - bus driver personality, public transpo icons, it best represents the diversity of Chicago
