brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 22/05/2026for now 🤷🏻♂️ it’s a very low brow project now, so when it works - great, otherwise she’s on the way out the door. CTA’s reports (and service) are a lot better these days, and a lot of chicago folks are doing way better stuff! My project served its purpose :) 110
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 20/05/2026the dashboard hasn’t functioned for 3 months, so probably data error 050

Tag along! 183

brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 07/10/2025i have no idea why they can’t support pass back fares for all taps within 17 minutes, but alas. that’s ventra for you. 120
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 07/10/2025this is related to having an unlimited ride pass activated on your ventra card. you can tap more than once within a few minutes at the same station and it’ll charge a pass back fare, but after 3 ish minutes and before 17 minutes you’re locked out from tapping again to prevent fare fraud. 110
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 20/07/2025wait 3-9 business months and we might be able to extrapolate that from gtfs data 🥸 040
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 20/07/2025happy rpm phase one completion date to all who celebrate! 🎉 2396
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 11/07/2025been a while since we’ve seen basically every metra line incur delays for a vague “operational” reason 000
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 05/07/2025that’s legit. there’s an N77 in the options too for the belmont bus, but even traveling during “owl” service i’ve never seen it in real world use. 010
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 05/07/2025most of the time on “night service” routes that follow the same routing (and maybe just stop short) operators override the bus to show the normal route number and not the N#, hence basically never seeing the actual N22 head sign. 99% chance operator chose wrong head sign over all else. 140
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 27/06/2025It’s good to be back home 😌 got to spend this work week at the mothership for leadership development training! 070

brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 20/06/2025my longest ComEd outage was when they scheduled an outage for line work, 5 weeks in advance, with very clear, understandable communication ahead of time. they planned for 6 hours. it took less than 2. it was great. 120
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 18/06/2025i typically see it written as 1234.5 and the post office has an okay time with that 110

brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 04/06/2025technically: yes, cdot can lift whenever they want and the signals will go into a fault state. to not cause chaos they work with cta staff at the bridges to coordinate with rail control via radio/phone. 020
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 04/06/2025foggy bottom swim briefs in the fathers day catalog is really something 😂 3122
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 04/06/2025timing not the issue. lack of planning is. more often than not, bridge staff are waiting on cta staff to show up so they can actually continue with lifts (which have consistently happened between noon and one so far this year) 110
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 04/06/2025good news: lake st bridge should be clear for traffic soon bad news: bridge lifts are a surprise to cta every single week lol 220
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 04/06/2025loving the bike just sorta tossed up and in the back 😂 110
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 04/06/2025hilariously, if the parking utilization was higher drivers wouldn't be able to do this lol 040
brandon mcfadden 🛤️ @brandonmcfadden.com · 04/06/2025i see more UP-W content in your future (pending we don't lose the UP-W entirely 😭) 140
