I don't understand what you mean by "they're expiring the accounts tied to the cards". As long as your card is registered (and perhaps even if its not), you will still have the balance that remains o...

Oh come on, Chicagoandy. This should not be difficult for you to figure out. Any card like that has a limited life. Eventually it gets worn out and is unusable. If they did not have an expiration ...

"So do they do, then? "I don't feel like going to an ATM, so I don't think I'll go home today." No, they may say "it will cost only a little more (considering the ATM surcharges) and get me home quic...

Via, There is not going to be a revenue loss from Metra accepting credit cards. In fact, there will almost certainly be a revenue gain. There is no fare increase needed to make up for the transact...

Via, What you seem to overlook is that Metra is a taxpayer supported government agency. They are accountable to us. Their lack of willingness to modernize means they are not operating efficiantly....

Incidently, that Crain's article has a date of February 27th. Since the Chicagoist post is from yesterday, the statement "news broke this morning" is completely inaccurate. And I'm pretty sure that ...

Exactly. This has nothing to do with the newspaper. The television stations are a completely seperate entity that happens to be owned by the same company that owns the Chicago Tribune. Why is it pe...

Oops. Didn't mean to use the phrase "the fact that" twice in one sentence. ...

Have you seen his post where he spent the entire time complaining about the fact that the CTA didn't issue a press release about the fact they were reopening an auxillery entrance at the Harrison stat...

I think it is a bit of an overstatement to say that the Tribune made the "decision to close" the museum. All that article indicates in that, according to the musuem's director, the uncertainty of wha...

Jesus Christ! Skaterina, do you even understand the basics of Chicago history? People used to vote for school board members. You state you are a lifelong Chicago resident. Then you should know tha...

I'll also point out that when people start screaming about any drop in funds or services to something they know nothing about then it prevents the government from cutting waste and providing efficianc...

I find it interesting that right now there are 25 comments either condemning or defending this move yet nobody knows how it will affect anybody. Does anybody even know what these centers do? I don't...

Probably a culmination of reading news articles and hearing CTA officials mention this. This isn't something that is in dispute. It is as obvious as the fact that people drive, shop, and go to restu...
