My cta bus has a back to school free ride ad up from 2024 with Aug 26 start date.

If CTA keeps pace of first 6m of 2025. It will set a record for vehicle hours.

Per capita operating funds of top transit regions + possible Chicago. Note DC and SF spend about the same $ as Chicago with much less population.

[Metropolitan Mobility Authority @ChiTransitPlan]

Notable - DC spends more $ than Chicago on transit with 2.5M fewer people.

This weekend, dozens of Chicago Tribune journalists will be on standby as huge protests promise to arise in our city.

At the same time, many of us will be organizing to fight buyouts. Our work is essential to democracy, and it's under attack. I'm grateful for my union today.

Fiscal crisis.

[Metropolitan Mobility Authority @ChiTransitPlan]

Mood: The CTA has a sign directing you to a closed sidewalk. I injured my foot and had to crawl up steps. The Red line smells like piss.

[Jake Sheridan @JakeSheridan_]

NEW: The Chicago City Council rejects a bid to lower the speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph.

Ald. Daniel La Spata, watching the vote here, said the lower speeds would save lives. But opponents said the effort was a money grab and shared equity concerns before the 21 to 28 vote.

Story idea for @srfreish How has the cost of Red Line Ext. changed over time? Talk to transit cost project. Concrete? Labor? ROW? Inflation? How does cost chg. compare to road construction cost over time?
