Express Bus Operations
Express routes, moreover, the "express" bus designation was advertised as a way for the CTA to serve the city residents with "faster, more reliable service". How many of us waiting for the bus have had to wait and wait at a regular stop for a "local" bus to arrive because CTA is running two to three express buses right behind each other?
What is the only other option but to walk to the nearest "express" stop which in some instances is quite a distance, and very inconvienient!
Could the answer to this be one of the following?:
1. Tons of CTA drivers who have complained to the powers that be about "personal safety" issues
2. Could it be that the CTA sided with their drivers because it co-incided with their racial agenda?
3. Could it be that the CTA was waiting until the right time to create express routes in an effort to underserve minorities / minority communities? (Remember the CTA has been called out in public for this practice in times past).
4. This also happens to co-incide as well with the CTA's agenda to run fares up like they have been trying to do, and succeeded in doing January 1st, 2006.
Is the answer all of the above? We will let you decide....comment away!

The CTA absolutely sucks!! Expess bus? Ha ha ha
My commute time from the Midway Airport area to Belmont/Elston is 4 hours per day. I'm aware of bad weather, break downs, etc that effect public transportation and allot time for that.
Why do I have to go into the downtown area to get to this side of the city? It makes no sense.
Not to mention the LAZY CTA workers at these train stations. At the upper platform @ Clark/Lake, I have to fight door blockers on a daily basis, then fight my way to the door yet again.
I have seen Chicago Cops @ the Midway Terminal constantly having to help travelers with the ticket machine because CTA does not. If that's the case, the CPD cops need to get paid double duty.
These trains/buses never run on time. At night, I have to get off the Blue Line and run up 3 flights under 30 seconds to catch the Orange Line. I think I broke Michael Johnson's sprint record.
Daley needs to get RID of the CTA President Frank K and replace him with Carole Brown!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry for the long rant...
