[IL-Talk] Interesting News from the CTA

[Robert Hansen]

Yeah I read something on one of the ctas news articles on their website.
And I guess they can only do so much every year because of budget. I don't
know I'm not a lawyer or an expert on it but I guess it just takes time. I
mean that's work that should have been done years ago. And you know if they
don't get their act together and if they don't attract all the riders back
there's going to be a huge budget shortfall I think by the end of 2026? So
that means if they don't get their act together they could have some huge
drastic surface reductions. CTA pace and metra. That's what I read.
