View submission: That time Elon got pissed at me
it's probably also worth pointing out that *there is already a train between downtown Chicago and O'Hare*. It's the CTA Blue Line and it's been there *since the 80s*. Like, okay yeah that's not what this is about now but fuck, that plan was obviously never meant to be useful for any actual people.

Despite the funk our transit system has been in since the pandemic, Chicago is still one of the few cities where taking transit to the airport is actually faster than driving a lot of the time. The extra-special-rich-people-only subway was always a dumb idea nobody asked for.

There's also a Metra line that runs from downtown Chicago and O'Hare.
