I've been wondering why adding dedicated @cta bus lanes to the plan for #LakeShoreDrive is so hard for @IDOT_Illinois & @ChicagoDOT. Since the #transportation field is fascinated by #AI, I asked a few bots what they'd do if they were in charge. Here are their answers:👇 🧵

We reached a workforce milestone 🙌 In 2024, we hired and trained 200+ new rail operators and 1,000+ new bus operators. This achievement is vital to delivering more frequent and reliable service.

👏🏽👏🏽 Long time coming & huge opportunity for #ETOD to ensure residents near future RLE stations benefit most from the historic investment. Now we need matching investments in community-led, community-owned projects & policy changes to support #ETOD while preventing displacement

Extending the Red Line will make a real difference for many on Chicago's South Side. Grateful to our congressional delegation for leading the charge on the start of not only improving public transit access but also creating jobs and economic benefits. news.wttw.com/2024/12/18/cta…

Madrid’s metro was 71 miles long in 1995. That would be the world’s 51st longest today, reasonable considering Madrid is the 57th largest city by population. Yet over 12 years, the metro would ~3x in length at costs much lower than was thought possible. Here’s how they did it🧵

Transit officials are confident that $1.9B in federal funding for the CTA's Red Line Extension will come through before the end of President Biden's term, but the change in administration could pose other threats to Chicagoland public transportation @wttw news.wttw.com/2024/11/25/rac…

In 2024, BART hosted a bunch of iconic events, including the Project Doneway fashion show, featuring 35 garments constructed out of BART paper tickets by fashion students at Oakland School for the Arts, Academy of Art, San Francisco State, and City College of San Francisco.

🚨Breaking news from Chicago city hall ❌This week, the Zoning Committee voted to reject a proposal to build 615 new homes in Lincoln Park. 🥊 The mayor has chosen to ignore their recommendation. Now the project will be automatically reported on a 'do-pass' recommendation.

You may see something new on Bus Tracker this week—it's part of our battle against ghost buses. We're testing the ability to show when a trip has been canceled. Hopefully you never have to see it, but if you do, it's because we're working to get you more accurate real-time info.
