    CTA Intel: Seatless Buses on the Horizon? Hmmm...
    Posted by Sept. 26, 2008 at 6:18 p.m.
    Hi there, my comrades in commuting.  I've got a gang of CTA developments to chat about for next week, including some etiquette issues to explore.  But in the in-between time, a story of seatless buses brought to us by CTA Spy Bames Jond. Guess it makes sense with the CTA now experimenting on seatless "L" cars.  In the bus case, it doesn't seem intentional.  But we'll look into it further.
    "Bames Jond reports:

    Seat missing on #78 Montrose bus.  Intentional or not, the seat before the exit door was gone. It generated a lot more room.  Next up…getting people to move all the way down the aisle!"

    wanna get the standees to move to the rear of the
    bus, have the driver to jam on the brakes and you
    can almost guarantee that the people will move to
    the rear. But seriously I agree that the people
    that board the bus and stand there next to the
    luggage rack/right wheel well does block entry
    and exit, even when there is seating available.
    Now if we could only do semething about those
    jerks who stand block the doors of the "L" cars,
    meaning the ones on the station platform side.

    WHAT DOES A PERSON DO WHEN A BUS PASSES THEM AT A BUS STOP AND HAS HAPPED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION? I WAS WAITING FOR THE 20 MADISON BUS GOING EASTBOUND AND IT PASSED ME RIGHT UP THERE ARE OTHER BUS RIDERS THAT THE BUS PASSES UP WHAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE BUS DRIVER? I CONTACTED THE SUPERVISER AND IT WAS REPORTED BUT WHAT DISIPLINARY ACTIONS ARE TAKEN AGAINST THE BUS DRIVER?

    SINCERLY YOURS,

    A MAD BUS PASSENGER
