Sometimes Im concern for my safety while riding the CTA Red Line. During the past three I’ve seen three individual consume illegal substances on the train and believe me, it wasn’t Marijuana (weed).

As a commuter to the airport, from 10pm to 5-6am… is very uncomfortable to ride the blue line because a lot of homeless and smokers take the train as their home.

I feel so unsafe riding anymore. I have stopped taking public transit and now drive and pay for parking even though I live only a few blocks from the blue line. I've seen people harassed, I've seen drug transactions go down. Not a police officer or guard in sight. Dozens upon dozens of Facebook comments on their site from scared, frustrated, concerned riders about the conditions on CTA. Yet nothing is done.

CTA is so unsafe now, and they're not doing anything to stop to that that I can see

As a frequent rider I do not like seeing homeless people spriled accoss several seats as I'm on my way to work. I also have a problem with having to smell like marijuana or cigarette smoke. I was also upset recently watching a mother of two young kids being threatened and verbally assulted. As a woman I don't feel safe and something needs to happen soon.

I take the Ltrain every day going home from work. It needs to be cleaned up and get the homeless off the trains and yes I agree with police being on every train and station.

I’m saying it. Y’all are absolutely tonedeaf. Stop trying to make homelessness go away by locking up homeless people. Jesus Christ. Try to understand poverty at least once in your life. You should be ashamed

When I first moved to Chicago in June I was harassed and followed by some creep then 2 months ago this homeless person got mad because I was sitting in his sleeping spot

Would definitely be better for all citizens, especially for those who find traffic to be a hassle and relies on CTA for commute to work at downtown.
