Agent Bev217: North Side CTA Spy

Published Aug. 7 at 11:49 a.m.
Hi everybody! Hope your ride in was smooth and your ride home will be smoother.
I've got some CTA stuff to talk about later today, but first, I'd like to introduce you to another CTA spy...this one who hails from the North Side. You met the suave, handsome Double-Oh-Fo' yesterday, so now you will meet "Bev217," an agent so cold she has to wear a costume to disguise her from her CTA nemesis.
Or maybe she just wanted to wear a costume. Here's a photo, and more about her.
Code Name: Bev217
Age: 18
Neighborhood: Rogers Park
Frequent Rider of: CTA Red Line
What I Loathe About the CTA: They are dirty, slow, and are overcrowded and don't have enough buses or trains most of the time
What I Love About the CTA: It's convenient to get to places I want to get to
Stay tuned for more intel from Bev217 about North Side CTA service.
What are you waiting for? Join up and speak out.

Aww that's messed up lol. But it's soooooo true about the messed up CTA. They realllllllllly need improvement the city of Chicgo knows that.
Posted by: Bev217 | Aug 7, 2008 12:02:11 PMThe best things about the CTA are:
1. I have drivers as friends
2. I get to my destination (just need a schedule)
3. I like the driver of #82 KIMBALL/HOMAN WHOM HAS THE "Stress Free Bus" {whew}
4. I just love the Orange and Brown Lines just because I think better along the line.
