CTA Wish list

CTA wish list:

As we get a new CTA president in 2009 here are somethings on my wish list

Odometer for my CTA card
As Indiana Jones says, "it's not the years its the mileage." Wouldn't it be fun if we could have a CTA card that documents how many miles you've traveled? What about a free ride or gold card for your millionth mile traveled on CTA? I think some of us CTA users deserve a medal sometimes for the bus and train rides. Car insurance companies always want to know how many miles your car has, and bikes have mileage counters, why not be able to document the same on the CTA?

CTA conductor communicator
Many mornings I think I am running late when I get a great CTA conductor who always gets me to work ontime. I'd love to be able to thank him via the CTA website. Also it would be great to document when CTA bus drivers run red lights.

More to come soon!


There was talk about using

There was talk about using cameras mounted on the front of buses to catch bus-lane or bus-stop scofflaws. I know that the 22/36/62 bus stop on Dearborn outside our office is always filled with cabs, which holds up buses. Whatever happened to that?
