Chicago transit woes
The CTA faces a budget shortfall and is considering hiking the rail fare from $1.75 to $2.50, according to this AP story.
Most interesting to me in this story is the CTA chairman's assertion that the state funding formula shortchanges CTA. In northeast Illinois, one agency called the Regional Transportation Authority funds the CTA, Metra commuter rail, and Pace suburban buses. As suburban populations have grown, these communities get more RTA money.
