Can Transit Merger Save CTA?
Manage episode 430114215 series 2893344
Lawmakers are considering merging Chicagoland transit agencies — CTA, Metra, and Pace — to address declines in ridership and a looming $730 million budget crisis. Chicago Tribune transportation reporter Sarah Freishtat tells host Jacoby Cochran what we know so far about how the plan would work, why advocates think it’s a good idea, and if it would actually make the trains come on time. A public hearing is slated to take place Wednesday in the south suburbs.
