Post pandemic high, but how far down is it from previous highs?
Also would like to see revenue change now that it's so much cheaper

Curious to see if they change their schedules more to accommodate more people going to the city on weekends + fewer weekday commuters.

all mostly good news.. was hoping we would hit 70% recovery for CTA this past year, we came close.
Fix the damn slow zones and that will help a lot now that frequency is at pre pandemic levels. I also think once all the stations open up on the red/purple line improvement areas, that should help some too.
What should the goal be for 2025? 75%?

We really need an announcement from the state that funds will be diverted from roads and given toward transit in the chicagoland area. It will only BENEFIT the state overall
