Comments on Stephanie's review of Chicago Transit Authority
make the most of what we've got
We all love and hate the CTA, it gets us to work, sometimes late, sometimes early. The buses are crowded, but it's better than walking in snow and rain. The fares are going up, yet overall it's cheaper than owning a car, and most importantly to me, better for the environment. It certainly isn't New York City, with a subway system that works, is affordable and apparently on-time. Or Paris, with a system that should make us all jealous. But it is what we have and we should use it, and do what we can to try and improve it. That means staying involved, and active, and voting for the people and referendums that will help fix and improve, extend and expand this system we are so dependant on. Biking is a great alternative for some, so is walking if you can. Be the change you want to see in the world.
