CHICAGO -- The CTA is warning of delays on both trains and buses due to staffing shortages amid surging COVID cases.
"Since the start of the pandemic nearly two years ago, we've worked tirelessly to provide the essential transit service that the region relies on. When Chicago needed us the most, we were there, providing as much service as possible," the agency said in a statement Sunday. Like other transit agencies, some local employees have been unable to come to work because of quarantining or isolating due to COVID, the CTA said.
Whenever an employee must call off work due to illness or self-quarantining, it can temporarily affect the schedule of buses and trains. Some scheduled trips may not occur, meaning there may be longer wait times for a bus or train."We are actively recruiting workers to fill existing vacant positions," it said.
Remember the 'Deep Cleaning' effort? That didn't last long...😞
You would think CTA Manpower would be similar to CPD. Just yesterday to see a bus crowded pre pandemic to say the least I was afraid and surprised. Knowing it’s just a matter of time. Before we are back to square one.
