    Always happy to see more transit options especially expansion of public transit.

    Not something you see everywhere in the country

    Love to see it. I really wish we could use some of this federal funding to add additional new L lines, L stations, or BRT to the CTA.

      RPM is I think one of their most expensive projects yet. I’m happy to see the redline finally expanding south.

      I do think the next goal should be a line out west that runs north to south (think kedzie) but that’s certainly a ways out.
