cta service cuts

do you take public transportation in Chicago? If so, you should know that state taxes support your trips, not just city taxes and fares. Do you think struggling families down state give a shit about our cta? my guess is hell no. Even though it's not fair, I'm not going to act like I don't reap the benefits and like it. As you've probably heard, there are going to be significant cut-backs to the bus service. So, there was a fare hike, now service cuts, and poor people outside the city pay for something they dont use. Isn't that a bit fucked up? Solution: tax brackets to create a more fair system
Raise the rate for those that can afford it to keep busses moving!
