#CTAfails
This Monroe red line escalator was shut down for repairs in February. For months the sign gave a completion date of 7/22/24 - recently changed to Fall 2024. WTF? Things like this reduce ridership. #CTAfails

Dear Chicago Transit Authority, maybe if you offered reliable, timely, safe service people would ride… I dunno… 3rd time in 4 days at rush hour you have failed. Thank god your President got those huge raises #ctasucks #theresgottobeaomethingbettet #signalproblems #chicagotransitauthority #ctafails

Not 100% sure what minus two minutes means; first I’m seeing this on the bus tracker, @CTAFails. Do I need to somehow travel back in time to board this bus?

In case you’re wondering why so many people on the near North side take ride share @Cta @chicagosmayor this is why. 5:50 pm on a Wednesday evening at Merchandise Mart. Had to let multiple trains go by before squeezing on @CTAFails

And Purple line RT @Chazamm: @cta Brown lines running way behind this morning. #humpday @CTAFails

Pretty sure one of the @cta employees was smoking pot in their car as they were illegally blocking the bike lane. @CTAFails

The dumpster has not removed. @cta any updates on when we can expect this obstruction removed from the bi-directional bike lane? This is a safety risk. @CHI311 @CTAFails

@cta The 28 bus just drove around the 6 bus at 51st and East End, then sped past the Lake Park and Hyde Park stop at 8:57 am. Crappy service as usual. @CTAFails

Yet another day on the @cta Redline with people smoking both cigarettes and marijuana on my train.
Every. Fucking. Day.
So. Over. It.
Fucking. Fire. Dorval.

Seriously!? Another morning being bombarded by a smoker on my @cta car!? It’s getting soooooooo old. FIRE DORVAL CARTER!! ENOUGH! We shouldn’t have to deal with this EVERY day!!! @ctaaction @CTAFails
November 17, 2024 at 12:27 AM
Nothing like waiting over 10 minutes for a Redline car at rush hour only for it to arrive and REEK of cigarettes 🙄😡🤬😤@cta @ctaaction @CTAFails
November 17, 2024 at 12:27 AM
Another morning walking on to the redline to MULTIPLE people smoking cigarettes and marijuana. Not to mention multiple persons laying across seats so nobody can sit. @cta @ctaaction @CTAFails
November 17, 2024 at 12:27 AM
Nothing says 8am on the @cta like the fresh smell of someone lighting up a cigarette on your car when you’re already experiencing allergies. #CTA #EnoughIsEnough #DorvalCarterNeedstoGo @cta @ctaaction @CTAFails @LoriLightfoot
November 17, 2024 at 12:27 AM
Another day another @cta car someone’s smoking on. @ctaaction @CTAFails
November 17, 2024 at 12:26 AM
STOP PEOPLE FROM SMOKING ON THE TRAIN @cta !!!! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH @CTAFails @ctaaction
November 17, 2024 at 12:26 AM
@cta bus tracker is seriously messed up. I'm on an 81W bus from Jefferson Park that is not showing at all. At least it's in my favor for once... @CTAFails @streetsblogchi
December 3, 2024 at 6:38 AM
This is ridiculous during rush hour @cta @CTAFails #81Wfail
December 3, 2024 at 6:33 AM
Seriously @cta? This bus service gets worse every day. 28 minutes during rush hour. @CTAFails
December 3, 2024 at 6:33 AM
Today's @CTAFails: bus tracker cannot find my stop. The one that the bus stops at every day. 🙄 @cta
December 3, 2024 at 6:28 AM
On the @cta Blue Line and there is no heat in this car. It is 31F. I can see my breath. If I wanted to be this cold, I would have biked to work. @CTAFails
December 3, 2024 at 6:28 AM
What the hell, @cta?! Let people know BEFORE we pay our fare that the red line southbound isn't running right now!!! @CTAFails #communicate
December 3, 2024 at 6:17 AM
@cta employees said there would be a shuttle bus upstairs butthe throng of people trying to get somewhere isn't seeing any. @CTAFails
