Living Like Sardines

For years, the CTA has received tons of complaints about unsafe transit conditions which will eventually contribute to many serious injuries or mass loss of life during a train or bus accident, should one occur while overcrowded conditions are present.

At the least in the current day, it contributes to people being involuntarily groped, exposed to foul breath, body odor, and the criminal minded who know just how to take advantage of the situation.
This situation causes more than just unwanted physical friction: passengers become irate and verbal hostilities take place, fights even break out.

Another problem this causes: passengers miss their stops because they can't get off, and CTA personnell are instructed to just ignore the overcrowding because the CTA wants their money!

For $2.00 a ride, this is NOT worth it!
