Red & Brown trains are 8 cars, and they about the size of IRT cars save 3 feet in length. They are also separate routes EACH running every 3 to 5 minutes, and EACH is crowded. Nothing "misleading" there. Go read the schedule.I mentioned the UP-North line because it is closest to the North Side "L". The Milw-North line is much further west on the West side, which has become very depopulated and crime-ridden. I don't see any point of converting that to a higher density commuter rail. The Block 37 proposal for O'hare is dead. Factor in the time it takes to take a trolley car across to Union Station, wait for an O'Hare train, which would be nothing close to rapid transit in intervals,and trip time for a passenger is no better the the Blue Line with skip-stop. They are not going to run anything like San Diego has of 288 feet long trolleys across the Loop to Union Station, whether on a street or across a back alley. There are no plans tunnel under - dream on. |
