Doesn't make you feel good about riding the CTA, does it? - The Ride

Doesn't make you feel good about riding the CTA, does it?

| | Comments (1) | TrackBacks (0)

By now, I'm sure you've heard about all of the "ineffective management" at the CTA that led to last year's Blue Line derailment, according to a federal report issued yesterday.

We're talking falsified track inspection reports, poorly trained employees and virtually no oversight by the people in charge.

In fact, one investigator for the National Transportation Safety Board said he'd never seen track conditions "anywhere near as bad" at an accident scene as what he found on the CTA Blue Line.

Does that change how you feel at all about the CTA's bid for more state funding?

I hope the Feds start arresting the Daley administration soon, or we're all going to have marry into the Daley family to make a living.
