How could the transit 'fiscal cliff' play out in Chicago? Philadelphia cuts offer clues Philadelphia's experience could serve as a warning for lawmakers in Illinois who need to figure out a funding solution to cover a multi-million budget hole and potential 40% cut to bus and rail service to the Chicago Transit Authority, Metra commuter rail and Pace Bus.

🎉 Today, CTA made history as it unveiled 4 brand new 100% accessible stations on the Red Line:

✅ Lawrence
✅ Argyle
✅ Berwyn
✅ Bryn Mawr

edit - this blue line station is not accessible:( not great for amtrak riders with suitcases

first time transferring from union station to the blue line. i’d say the understandability was 7/10. the signage was really good considering the union station construction, i bet I would give it an 8.5 out of 10 once the construction is done

uhh i don’t think so? but we were in minot for 90m and people went out to get pizzas lol

the noodle bowl has now sold out. i’m preparing for the purge

the passengers on this multi-day amtrak have developed a cult following of the sesame noodle bowl in the cafe car
