The Slow Way to Get To Work: Public Transportation

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Rapid transit, it ain't. That's what many CTA riders are saying about the L, which has seen significant increases in the number of slow zones on almost every line in recent months.

Only the Orange Line lacked slow zones, according to CTA figures.

The reasons are different in each case, but the result is pretty much the same: more delays and increasingly frustrated riders.

"The Red Line totally sucks," Miguel Brown, 32, said while waiting at the Merchandise Mart station. "I feel like it's a waste of money, but it's a necessity."

Now wonder the Chicago area has the second longest commute times in the nation.That's collectivist transportation for you.
