Unreliable CTA service is a frustration for riders. It’s also costing Chicago. – Chicago Tribune/MSN

CTA Blue Line passengers wait for a train at the Clark/Lake station in Chicago during the afternoon rush on Feb. 7, 2023.Challenges getting employees and visitors downtown — including the tens of thousands expected as the city hosts the Democratic National Convention next summer — are a hit to the city’s economic heart, which is still facing lower office occupancy than in 2019 and a hospitality industry recovering from the pandemic. Reluctance to get on trains or buses can be one barrier to key efforts to boost residential development downtown and development near transit across the city.

Government workers do not get paid for performance or do they lose their jobs for nonperformance. It is great work if you can get it.

Good luck!
