Re: ''You Can't Sit Down'': CTA

Posted by BMTLines on Wed Jul 16 23:37:47 2008, in response to "You Can't Sit Down": CTA, posted by ChicagoPCCLCars on Wed Jul 16 22:44:30 2008.

This is one of the reasons that I admire the old BMT Corporation - they took passenger comfort into account when designing cars like the Standards, Triplexes and Bluebirds. Ridership levels were also much higher back then. Today it seems that transit agencies couldn't care less about comfort. They have no competition and a captive audience and are becoming more and more arrogant about it. Not everyone can stand for extended periods.
