even better, the studies all show that it will cause massive peak hour congestion in the stations, and more importantly, will not generate enough revenue to pay for its implementation and ongoing costs

they're literally losing money to make the system less convenient.

thanks taxpayers

I guess the only redeeming quality with the Ventra shift is that the CTA told Cubic to pound sand regarding paying for the shift until they managed to get payment rates up to 95%. it took over six months.

What if you made a bus line, except make it for longer distances and carry more people

You could give it its own space to run, so it doesn't have to travel with other traffic, and it can be more efficient.

Since you know the path it will take, you only have to make one narrow path for this long-range bus

Since it's only going to travel along that path, you could make the road surface more suitable for the type of wheel that is used. You could use metal, since it's stronger than concrete, and then you could also reduce tire wear on this metal road by using metal wheels.

The path is fully set, so you don't need a steering wheel or anything, you could just automate that part (or have one person press buton)
