Breather for CTA

CTA had proposed a doomsday scenario of fare increases and service cuts. Officials have put off those plans for now, as the RTA has come through with an additional $54.3 million for CTA. CTA officials say the RTA's funding formula is screwed up and that it needs to be adjusted. (RTA funds CTA, Metra commuter rail and Pace suburban buses.) The Illinois legislature is examining the issue.

And, while perusing the RTA's website, I learned something odd: you can rent a CTA train for a private party.
