Never seen a group of people struggle more with the concept of forming a line than the average Metra rider. How is it you dorks ride these trains multiple days a week and still can't seem to figure it out?

Why should there be a line? We are all going to the same place. Doesn't matter that someone got there "first" - Just get on board.

You’ve never driven in ATL or ridden train in DC then. ATL is Hunger Games on the Highway while every train at rush hour is akin to the fall of Saigon with everyone fighting for a space. Chicago mass transit is a dream compared to 95% of the rest of the country.

Logistics with the a Chicago CTA isn’t as much of an issue as poor train design. Whoever designed and approved the seating layout was hopefully fired because that’s responsible for most of the congestions during rush hour. NYC is A+ for both reliability and managing congestion even with the fact their transit system shuttles far more people daily than Chicago’s.

How juvenile of you.

It's sad to see people with 2-3 years of experience getting paid more than you when u have double the experience. 😄 Best part is they are still complaining of getting less. Well I guess you should never settle. New gen is giving a hard time to the experienced folks. I think this is the high time to upgrade your skills. Come out of your comfort zone and start looking for new opportunities. I think this is the best time to switch if u haven't already in quite some time.
