This #77 Belmont bus is packed at 1 pm on a Saturday. How bad will crowding be if transit service gets cut? Let’s not find out. ##fixitfundit. The Illinois General Assembly needs to pass a solution this fall in veto session. We can do this - we have a democratic supermajority. Let’s go!

At the public hearing on the transit fiscal cliff, IL state legislators are hearing from people who depend on public transportation. We must not only save but expand transit in the Chicago region for our long term future. #fixitfundit

But you’re right it’s an unenviable position, nobody wants to raise money but we can’t afford not to.
The reform package would do wonders to solve problems & improve ridership, including for downstate transit/rail. But it needs the funding to work #FixItFundIt #SaveILTransit

This is why we NITA pass the bill #fundingandreform #fixitfundit
According to the internet, my Ventra card works on the Pace bus that runs from my parents' house to the Metra station. According to the internet, I can catch it at times which have me miss the scheduled trains by 4 minutes around 1030, 1130 & 1230.

Retains service boards (CTA, Metra, Pace) but regionalizes many functions - fares, funds, schedules, planning into the Northern Illinois Transit Authority (NITA)
