The CTA that works

Mon May 24 2004

The new blog for Chicago, Chicagoist, has the story about the CTA installing a few "New York-style" train cars on the Brown Line, which have side-facing seats and hanging straps to allow more passengers to squeeze in during peak riding times.

Surely there must be some other ways in which the CTA can emulate New York's legendary mass transit:

  • More than 20% of CTA train stations accessible to something cool.
  • Save Devil Dogs. In fact, put Devil Dogs underneath every L station.
  • Upset about the slowness of the Blue Line, or the Division Street bus? Fuhgeddaboutit.
