How will the CTA handle DNC crowds?
With thousands of people expected to converge in Chicago next week for the Democratic National Convention, questions are arising about whether the Chicago Transit Authority is prepared to handle the crowds.A smooth and timely CTA is crucial for making a positive impression on the world next week, according to UIC transportation expert Kate Lowe.
The Blue Line, which serves O'Hare International Airport, has seen service rates in the 80s, with significant drops throughout the summer."My fear is we have a repeat of Father’s Day, when only 57% of scheduled Blue Line service was running. That means a lot of runs were canceled, leading to long waits. I don't want that to be the experience folks have of the CTA," Lowe added.
