The CTA doesn't know where the railcar is because they don't know where the railcar isn't. We will spare no expense to know where our railcars aren't so we can always know where our railcars are.

You may have noticed a change to UP-W service transitheads! The station of Villa Park has been renamed Villa in the Ventra app. We promised to build on this de-parkification, and are excited to share the following all new suburb names:

Forest
Highland
Oak
Franklin
Elmwood
Orland
Palos
Richton
Beach

A billboard on the CTA green line tracks reads

"You: Spending $36 to rideshare to brunch
Also you: Why is my bank account so low?

Save money. Do more. Ride CTA"set against a blue background with several mimosas

We're relieved to announce that starting in 2027, we'll be removing all numeric identifiers from all buses and railcars in favor of emoji designations. Can't wait to catch you all on the ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ bus!

That Metra innovation is old news, just try and take the UP-W on a weekend. We're happy to announce the 4 hour headway, coming to all lines in 2027!

The NCS will be realigned to run down the middle of runway 4L-22R. This will remind airline passengers of their place on the wheel of samsara.

As part of our commitment to flexible and dynamic transit to Chicagoans, we're currently in talks with major microtransit manufacturer and supplier, General Motors, who will help us realize the destruction of the Loop. Pardon our dust!

As part of our commitment to expanding bus service in the city of Chicago, we're going to be building an additional bus stop next to every current stop. We estimate that this will not impact travel time.

As part of our commitment to TOD, we're proud to announce an expansion of the Villa Park permit parking lot to the vacant land located at the southeast corner of Vermont and Ardmore. This lot will help us accomplish Chicagoland's climate change goals!

We're bringing back skip stop, this time with service patterns determined by the day of the week and lunar cycle. This change is intended to help riders be more in touch with natural cycles of the lake
