Expand At one time, there was nothing wrong with this. But CTA changed the markers so it would be less confusing. Now Green Line trains have green markers for Harlem and Ashland/63 and white and Green for Cottage Grove. It looks like this should be a Blue Line train to O'Hare. It looks like this train is sitting at Forest Park. Apparently the 3200s weren't reprogrammed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now granted this was late at night but my fear is 10/30-10-31 is going to be hell for all operators around the system with so many people especially teens and young adults doing things they should while using public transportation. Thankfully the operator was ok last night but it's still ridiculous having to deal with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was wondering what happened to all the cops cause I barely see them up north. I found out one Sunday night. I was working on an uber bonus and got caught up working in Roseland around Michigan and 112th through the ryan split. There were cops it seemed like every 2 blocks hanging out all over. It actually unnerved me seeing all the police. They were sitting around some were on calls. I never really saw that before. I got to north side and noticed people driving over 100 on the kennedy. It just seemed that night like there was so much lawlessness. I was happy to get home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand Yeah 79th and cottage usually has people hanging on the corner. I dont know I dont like tight intersections like that. But it appears the attacks are coming from a car. With all the cameras we got in the city, It should be easy to catch these guys. Why doesnt cta start a policy at 77th to tell riders to exit from the rear doors only. It would save the operators from opening the doors up front too much. Heard it happened while riders were exiting. I'd be driving defensively.

It made me chuckle until she came towards the bus stop but luckily my relief came a few minutes later and the passengers that were there waiting with me were happy to get the hell out of there. 79th and cottage is the step cousin to Madison and Pulaski, I have no idea how they're so similar to eachother when it comes to crime,junkies and just weird experiences.
