RTA going to [fill in the expletive]

[Busjack]

I happened to come across this Chicago Breaking News, basically with outgoing Executive Director Schlickman saying that because the State has not come through with its part, expect fare increases, no new starts, and probably very little of the capital bill money, including the state apparently reneging on its deal to sell RTA bonds in return for no fare increase in 2011.

Draw your own conclusions, but apparently Quinn has engaged in various frauds related to transit. At least this came out before the election, although not in a conspicuous place

Of course, nothing here about the RTA doing anything about service overlap, nor about the state doing anything about sw's favorite topic of Free Rides.

This is a joke, truly truly a joke. CTA is broke. Nuff said. Nobody knows what to do and fares are just gonna continue to go up, up, up for mediocre service to say the least.
