CTA... what...

Things you don't want to hear on the bus:

"You either die on this bus or in front of it! We ain't got no brakes!"

Which explained why the bus "stalled" every time we came to a stop. Emergency brakes. This didn't inspire much faith in me, so I got off at the next stop and watched the bus accelerate and nearly plow down a bicyclist.

Sometimes, Chicago, it's really obvious that you want all of us dead.

...I'm so happy I spend the extra to have a car. That is SCARY. XD

I know I could never afford to drive. But what really scares me is that the bus driver seemed to be enjoying it. Also, only about five people out of an entire rush-hour-packed bus got off. I mean, geez, people, getting home ten to fifteen minutes faster is NOT that important.
