why won’t the CTA implement fare capping???

Chicago Tribune @chicagotribune.com · 4h

The fare increases come as the CTA has warned it could have to cut bus and train service by as much as 25% starting in the middle of next year.

CTA proposes fare hikes as it stares down budget gap

If the fare hikes of 25 cents per ride are approved by the agency’s board, it will be the first time the CTA has raised ticket prices since 2018.

ICE in Chicago detained two people (that we know of) for filming them today, a cyclist and a neighborhood rapid responder. This in addition to tear gassing another neighborhood and brandishing weapons at rapid response—both things that have also already been going on for weeks.
