We heard @JBPritzker tweeted about "the Swift", and thought that meant the CTA Yellow Line to Skokie, the Skokie Swift, was reopening after last month's crash. 😢 Info on what's going on with the the 'L' train route: chi.streetsblog.org/2023/12/…

If anyone knows any @SignatureRoom95 staff who just lost their jobs today my DMs are open and I'm happy to share any of their resumes with my network if they are looking for a new place to work.

Just left a lecture from one of the greatest thinkers of our time at The Chicago Theater. I proceeded directly below the venue to head home and was greeted by even more intellectualism. @CTAFails

My former home also happens to be missing a lot of concrete. Coincidence? As usual taxpayers getting best bang for their buck @noCTAflyover @CTAFails

@CTAFails someone just dropped a bag of coke in front of me on the red line, then picked it up, then snorted it, then left the little baggie behind their seat. It’s Sunday morning

Men, if you offer a seat to a lady on public trans and she politely declines, just drop it, ok? Don’t explain what a gentleman you are or how your mother taught you right or anything else. Just shut up and let me read my book. @CTAFails – at Chicago, IL

Play #PokemonGO? Notice lots of ‘L’ stops have a PokeStop or Gym? Does your stop have a Gym? (Asking for a friend.)

Been a while since I've ridden the bus. OMFG! Driver continues to honk at & drive too close to cyclists who clearly have right of way. #cta
