View submission: That time Elon got pissed at me
Not from Chicago (but love that city), but thought bout something similar that happened in Toronto (where I'm from).
A private company built a direct rail train from the heart of downtown that takes you directly to the departures terminal at Pearson, about five stops on the line total. When it was finally finished that company immediately sought to subsidize the cost by making tickets a whopping $50, clearly telling the rest of the country that this amazingly convenient option was only meant for wealthy business types flying places for work and alienating the rest of the city in the process.
Near-abysmal ridership finally made the cost of a ticket accessible to everyone but it took ages for them to wise up.
How many wealthy people even take public transit, anyway? In Chicago OR Toronto?
There's nothing here!
