The Loop, Chicago, Ill. —
CTA riders on busy rush-hour lines could see some L cars designated as standing-room-only in the next few months.
That’s one measure in the works to deal with soaring L ridership prompted by higher gasoline prices.
The CTA also is considering making some trains “short turn” runs that would cover just the busiest stretches, to accommodate more passengers at rush-hour. For instance, a southbound Blue Line train might start at Jefferson Park, instead of O’Hare.
The transit agency — which reported today it saw a 6.9 percent increase in passengers last month — is also considering taking out seats on busy bus routes.
