This month, Chicago Magazine published an article entitled “What CTA Workers Know.” The online interactive version is quite interesting.
I love riding the ‘L’ and the buses. The CTA is one of the reasons I am so in love with the City of Chicago. I am fascinated as to how well the infrastructure works. When departing near the front of a train I always wish the “motor-person” a good day. I always smile to the bus operator. They’re working hard and many take them for granted.
This particular quote from the article makes me smile.
Despite the bad things that you see, if you
just look at all the
people moving and
actually living, it
brings joy to your
soul. You’re seeing life.
It is a great article: worth reading and (for journalists) worth emulating.
