Getting middle class riders on board CTA mass transit is the key to earning broader political support & better utilizing mass transit resources.
Express routes are generally targeted to more affluent commuters & should have earned a following.
Secret to customer service success, put a little Nordstrom in to your day, drivers. Passenger should delight!
You mean MORE middle class riders. There are plenty of them that already ride the CTA.
I've had friends who moved further up towards Lake View rather than down by LaSalle because they could never catch the bus. The busses would arrive, but they'd be so full that no one could get on.
Congrats on the first CTA shared fare hike story. None of the others who have shared redundant stories or blogs have chosen to applaud your initiative, so allow me to do so!
