I can understand the O'Hare branch service but the forest park branch is questionable especially with so many people I hear talking about preferring the green line for the west side due to the slow zones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine trying to connect to a Pace bus with a 20 minute frequency or longer. The slow train arrives just in time for you to miss the connection. The Green line is faster but the Pink Line is even faster, though it's not an option for everyone. The problem is that the Forest Park branch doesn't have a high enough ridership to support really frequent service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam92 Posted yesterday at 03:12 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:12 PM The schedules are out. I don't know what I'm missing but with all these supposed trips being added to forest park there'd be less short turns even accounting for all trains going through after 8pm vs 10-11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
