Come on, let's show CTA some love! They are not perfect by any means. But when I need to use them once in a while, I am very grateful they are there. When I was in between vehicles a couple years ago, I took CTA all the time. Considering the price of gas and the fact that you could go all the way from the end of Evanston to the South side of Chgo for 2 bucks makes you realize we have one of the best public transit systems in the country. The new fare cards seem to be working out well these days also.
If you don't like waiting too long for buses, call them or get a route schedule; they are usually not off by much. It will help a lot, especially in winter.

Unlike with the CTA, I am pretty impressed with the Metra. It sure makes a commute between the city and the suburbs smooth, fast, and easy.
Of course, you get your ocassional quacks here too, but I find it much less frequent here. They are also better priced and better in terms of cleanliness and timliness.
No can't the CTA learn a few lessons from this great Metra transportation system we have here?

I've used Greyhound several times to visit UofI and I have to say it has been a pretty comfortable trip. The seats are nice and they are not really small and cramped.
For me, there was enough leg room and I had plenty of space for my baggage (which got there safe and sound as well). I was happy with the trip and actually liked it better than taking the train, even though, suprisingly enough, the train was actually coming out to be cheaper!
