i have no idea why they can’t support pass back fares for all taps within 17 minutes, but alas. that’s ventra for you.

this is related to having an unlimited ride pass activated on your ventra card.
you can tap more than once within a few minutes at the same station and it’ll charge a pass back fare, but after 3 ish minutes and before 17 minutes you’re locked out from tapping again to prevent fare fraud.

hell yeah

no fresh paint on re-installs?

wait 3-9 business months and we might be able to extrapolate that from gtfs data 🥸

been a while since we’ve seen basically every metra line incur delays for a vague “operational” reason

that’s legit.
there’s an N77 in the options too for the belmont bus, but even traveling during “owl” service i’ve never seen it in real world use.

most of the time on “night service” routes that follow the same routing (and maybe just stop short) operators override the bus to show the normal route number and not the N#, hence basically never seeing the actual N22 head sign.

99% chance operator chose wrong head sign over all else.

you’ll get flexi posts, probably

my longest ComEd outage was when they scheduled an outage for line work, 5 weeks in advance, with very clear, understandable communication ahead of time.
they planned for 6 hours.
it took less than 2. it was great.

oh my god cubic is literally the worst

i typically see it written as 1234.5 and the post office has an okay time with that

you know how cta works 😆
