The transit routes are staying open. I truly cannot believe that this worked but it happened because so many of you refused to stay quiet. Please keep watching the schedules as things settle down.

The public transit funding mess is not a game to us. We, the undersigned, demand that Governor Blagojevich, Mayor Daley, the Illinois General Assembly, and other elected officials take action before September 16, 2007 to prevent the following Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus routes from being eliminated. We also oppose the cuts to Pace buses, which are extensive, and possible Metra fare increases. Also, without Pace, parking at Metra lots might become impossible. X3 King Drive Express X4 Cottage Grove Express 17 Westchester 19 United Center Express X20 Washington/Madison Express X28 Stony Island Express X49 Western Express 53AL South Pulaski Limited X54 Cicero Express 54A North Cicero/Skokie Blvd X55 Garfield Express 55A 55th/Austin 55N 55th/Narragansett 56A North Milwaukee 62H Archer/Harlem 64 Foster/Canfield 69 Cumberland/East River X80 Irving Park Express 85A North Central 86 Narragansett/Ridgeland 90N North Harlem 93 California/Dodge 96 Lunt 120 Ogilvie/Wacker Express 121 Union/Wacker Express 122 Illinois Center/Ogilvie Express 123 Ilinois Center/Union Express 125 Water Tower Express 127 Madison/Roosevelt Circulator 129 West Loop/South Loop 130 Grant Park Treasures 134 Stockton/LaSalle Express 135 Clarendon/LaSalle Express 143 Stockton/Michigan Express 144 Marine/Michigan Express 157 Streeterville 165 West 65th 200 Main Shuttle 205 Chicago/Golf

I am honestly stunned to see so many people stepping up for our bus routes. This momentum belongs entirely to you and I am just doing my best to keep up. If you can help us reach that first hundred mark today it would show the people at the top that we are serious.

LEAVE THE CTA ALONE. Taxpayers are already paying enough for this service.

Ridiculous. How am I supposed to get to work without the 120? These people have never taken the bus in their life.
