CTA Has Lost Most Of Its Riders For Good — Thanks To The Remote Work Shift — And The Fact That CTA Is A Crime Infested, Drug-Ridden, Chaos Breeding, Piss And Shit Stinking Disaster
Kevin, you need to take a page from Bernie Geotz’s guide for NYC Straphangers. It’s and old tome but I think it’s main points would work on the Metra.
Honestly I have been expecting a Bernard Goetz like renaissance on CTA and on Chicago streets ever since the 2020 fiery but mostly peaceful riots. When the law becomes pointless and ineffective then the citizens will assert their second amendment rights.
