You are mostly right, but the abysmally low ridership between 59th and 115th mirror unemployment distribution and semi ruined neighborhoods. South Shore, where I spent some of my youth has still not fully rebuilt from the MLK assassination riots--on the way down Exchange there were boarded up storefronts, on 71st some vacant lots. I rode a So Chicago rush hour train on a weekday evening a couple years ago--train never full. A significant fraction were on all the way to a park n ride lot at South Chicago. |
