For years now, the Chicago Transit Authority has threatened “Doomsday” service cuts only to be saved at the 11th hour by state funding. If ever there was a CTA doomsday, this Sunday may be it. The agency is cutting 9 express bus routes and reducing the frequency or hours of service of nearly every other bus and train. Add to that threats of a union strike and the future looks gloomy for the CTA and its customers. CTA President Richard Rodriguez discusses what’s in store.
