#CTA Green trains N/B at 43rd are standing due to a male accused of touching a woman and her child. She wants CPD & for the train to be held, but @cta control says if they both alighted the train, to "get move'n". #ChicagoScanner #CTAScanner #Chicago

The @cta #CTA operator was smart enough to keep the woman & child in the head car w/ the male offender somewhere still on the train. CPD is now @ Cermak Grn dealing with it. Female vict claims the male brandished a firearm. Well done operator! #ChicagoScanner #Chicago #CTAScanner

CTA Blue trains originating from Forest Park that are O'hare-bound will be delayed due to no operators available. Terminal Sup says he sees the operator, but he is just chilling in his car... #SweetDeal #CTA @cta #ChicagoScanner #Chicago

[Significant Delays] Blue Line trains are running w/residual delays following an earlier unauthorized person on the tracks at Irving Park. Service is resuming, allow extra time.
There is absolutely zero reason to involve @cta #CTA employees in your frustrations of the country / world currently. They are trying to get you from Point A to B safely & don't deserve this. #Chicago #ChicagoScanner @ChicagoDOT @CPDCitywide

[Service Suspended] At 6:30pm, service will be suspended on all bus and rail lines at the request of public safety officials. Service is expected to resume tomorrow morning.
I can’t confirm this because I didn’t hear it with my own ear’s from @cta #CTA Control, however @WindyCityWxMan is a reliable source. #ChicagoScanner #Chicago #PublicTransit #Transit
#ChicagoScanner CTA is immediately suspending ALL operations until 6AM Monday
