The scene when I got on the train this evening. Columbus Day aka Indigenous People Day is a quiet night on the train

I'm on Chance the Rapper's train today. This is what CTA was going on about on Social Media thought not on the site not to be mentioned here

Grand Ave was sudsy because that stop was also getting a deep clean

#ChicagoTransit

A few nights ago Chicago Ave Red Line station was getting a deep clean.

#ChicagoTransit

Had to take a better pic of the cloth seats from a few days ago. Just don't see this on CTA anymore.

#ChicagoTransit

I hope you do win the Nobel one day for your work

Good!

And when I got on the bus this afternoon I may still pose this question to the CTA. When a bus gets cancelled does this mean a driver didn't come into work? 🚌

This is what the train looked like when I got on.

I almost thought there was a #Cubs game tonight but I'm not sure they played at home. Regardless they're out of the #Postseason ⚾️

#ChicagoTransit

I think I owe this place some pictures 😬

It's a shame that the President, the Governor of IL and the Mayor of Chgo are feuding leading to the freezing of federal funds to build this necessary CTA extension into an underserved part of the city. I wish there was another way.

A lady was following behind me trying to figure out where to board the train. It doesn't matter just go where you see open doors. That's what was I looking for I told her. 🤷🏽‍♂️

#ChicagoTransit

Some people tweaking, no sense of direction and fail to understand all trains go north. No train goes further than 95th all trains turn around and go back to Howard. I can understand if you don't regularly take the train.

You don't see seats like this often on CTA. Cloth seats.

#chicagotransit

A minute ago a lady was trying to use the emergency red ball to open the doors before we even pulled into the station. She was telling the motorman to stop the train regardless of whether we were at a station. Thankfully a CTA worker was there to stop her.

When I got onto the train earlier this evening found myself standing for a little bit

#ChicagoTransit

Cool. There are delay, however, soon the red line will be back to normal.

#ChicagoTransit

Not about shaming but to see someone laid out on the subway platform - as if to go to bed for the night - is not something I want to see.

#ChicagoTransit

Always something on the Red Line. Always! 🤷🏽‍♂️

#ChicagoTransit

If you can see the people that are huddled in this corner of the train. The can where the motorman would control the train. They'd often be smoking or worse in this part of the train. CTA needs to address this.
