Living and breathing in the Second City
The nerd in me is really excited to hear about the CTA’s new bus tracking system. The taxpayer in me cringes at the $24 million we’re going to spend on it. I only use the bus once a week, on Monday afternoons, so it will take me a while to determine the usefulness of this program. In the meantime, I’d love some feedback from those of you who use the buses everyday.

The fog comes
on little cat feet.
It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.

I relish this. I hope they stomp down on the that stupid system that has one bus follow another bus for their entire route. It’s called timing people!
Okay-I’m bitter cause I’m usually that person on the other side of the street that watches 4 buses drive by whilst I wait…and wait…and wait for mine.
Do you really think the study should cost $24 million though? I’d like to see a breakdown of the costs.

Indeed, it does beg the question of what good it does to know exactly how late the buses are running!
