Taking a late night Metra train out of Union Station? Good luck finding a comfortable place to wait for your train.

Having to pay $60 to fill up the tank of your sedan is a lot more palatable when you only have to do it once every couple months and not every week. I just wish more people had the opportunity to not have to drive everywhere.

A reminder that when IDOT widened IL-53 from 3 lanes to 5 in 2012, they completely omitted adding a sidewalk along the Itasca portion of the project.

Metra's Lalapalooza ridership was actually down this year. BNSF had a hard crash in reverse peak, evening service and weekend service.

Getting home after donating blood is a lot nicer and safer when you don't have to drive and can take transit back. Also being able to watch bees pollenate helps pass the time.

How is NITA still allowing Metra to close entire lines over the weekend with no alternative options? First you had the entirety of the UP-NW for a Sunday, then you have midday service on the MD-N Fox Lake Branch, now the entirety of the RI for the full weekend. metra.com/newsroom/bri...

We could run the express that is about to stop at Arlington Heights as a local or we could not and have a 3 hour gap in service along the densest part of the line.

As bad as it is to not have Sunday service on the FrontRunner, I would much rather have reliable Saturday service than having to deal with weekend construction delays like this.

As much flack as I gave the UTA for their sub-par bus bridges, they at least existed. That is not the case for the Metra MD-N construction that has little to no midday service on the Fox Lake Sub and no bustitution will be provided nor do any buses connect you back to the line within Lake County

The Pace Pulse Dempster Line still has issues but I cannot deny how much it has improved ridership on the weekends, almost back up to prepandemic highs. April 2023 vs April 2026: Ridership: Weekday: 1805 -> 2066 (+261; +14%) Saturday: 985 -> 1558 (+593; +61%) Sunday: 685 -> 1396 (+711; +103%)

As a future westside resident, I am not looking forward to having to plan my trips around the grade crossings. The proposed piecemeal grade separation projects favor personal cars more than any other form of transport which doesn't help me much when most of my trips are done on bike or via transit.

I wouldn't say contributing to the nation having the most obese population, being one of the largest polluters, and having an all time high number of road traffic deaths is something to be proud of.

NITA should not allow an entire line to shut down because a localized area is under construction. It cannot be that difficult to coordinate a bus bridge with service that only runs every 2-hours.

I had a dream last night that my dentist appointment today was in Evanston, IL but I was at my parents in the Western Suburbs of Chicago and couldn't make it to my appointment because I didn't have access to a car. Then I woke and remembered my dentist here in SLC is just a 10 minute bus ride away.
