Remember kids, the best time to get a government job was 1993, the second best time is now.

Honestly, I don't know how people survive on a salary less than $563,000, inflation is crazy these days.

It's not legal per se, but it can be personally fulfilling to buy a used Gillig and run the bus route of your dreams.

To the evil urbanist who keeps cursing me: I just woke up from a nightmare where drivers had to beg transit riders for street space. That was terrifying, but you're not getting BRT on Western.

We could exercise our statutory authority to preempt aldermanic prerogative and home rule authority to create BRT on Western Avenue, but we wouldn't want to deprive Chicago urbanists of the opportunity to grovel in a nonbinding popularity contest.

We hear you about bus lanes, and we could flex our statutory authority to build them, but have you considered that it would make car drivers mad?

But at least our logo is nice and big, right in the middle of the screen, lest you forget which agency is currently meeting. Wouldn't want someone to stumble in thinking this was an IDOT board meeting.

Northern Illinois Transit Authority (Parody) @nitachicago.org · 10/09/2026

We've sorted out the first meeting, coordinating speakers from across Illinois who are all going to talk about the wonderful opportunity of a new transit agency. And we're going to broadcast this to the world in glorious 100x56 resolution. God help anyone that wants to see who's speaking.

Now that the dust has settled, we're proud to unveil our first collab! In collaboration with IDOT, we're bustituting the Blue Line Forest Park branch! This upgrade will provide better headways and more consistent on time performance. We hope to see you on the bus soon!

It is our pleasure to walk this path with you, mostly because the MD-W broke down again Metra isn't providing shuttle service.

We'd like to extend our sincerest thanks to all the transit advocates and elected representatives that got us here, and a hale and hearty welcome to the pastors, NIMBYs, and cranks that we met along the way.

Big props to NITA for 1) Getting that .gov domain and hitting the ground running a day early 2) Not sending me a cease and desist for my parody account

Northern Illinois Transit Authority (Parody) @nitachicago.org · 14/07/2026

Barclay was very critical of NITA while the legislation was in the general assembly, and hasn't changed his tune. Eaddy is a pastor with no transit management experience. Lopez is a weird left-NIMBY who's been critical of any project that's not 100% affordable.

I forced the disclosure of this via FOIA to learn that CDOT is planning to install just 18.6 miles of bike lanes in 2026. 64% of such is paint only. Its most unproductive year since they started publishign info in 2021. www.chicago.gov/city/en/site...

The CTA doesn't know where the railcar is because they don't know where the railcar isn't. We will spare no expense to know where our railcars aren't so we can always know where our railcars are.
