A few months ago, I wrote about my love of riding the train and my longing to be among the masses of riders every morning and evening. Yet, despite my coming to a time when that will become a reality (back to school), the 'el' situation has, as I'm not privy to such things yet, become a black mark on the cities "spotless veneer" (shakes head, obviously). So much so that an article in the New York Times is talking about issues the CTA and it's riders are having with closures, a lack of communication about closures, an out of date rail system and cars, overcrowded trains (I've noticed this, and it's getting a really bad), decreasing funds, and a tardiness that is about as annoying as commercials for Fred Claus (seriously, why was this movie made?).
Thanks to Sara for pointing the article out to me.
