Busjack Posted September 20, 2017 Report Posted September 20, 2017 Third such incident today. You missed 2 on the Red Line. Quote

In college, I was on one of the rear cars of a State Street Subway train that was stopped halfway out of the Grand station due to a "sick passenger." Apparently, they spontaneously combusted because the next thing we knew there was smoke. That's when a guy pulled the cherry and several people (myself included) followed him off the train and up to the street. Every time I heard of a "sick passenger" I think of that time. Quote

Why not bypass 47th in both directions and have shuttle buses run between 35th and 47th and between Garfield and 47th. Also suggest the Green Line as an alternate. As far as turnbacks, running a limited amount of trains south of 35th would be political suicide. The North side keeps its high frequency while the South side sees limited and crowded service. Quote
