Get Back on the Bus, Gus

West Side CTA bus commuters: it is now safe for you to ride the bus again. Police arrested Darryl Pearson on Tuesday for robberies on the bus route. Pearson would board the bus and stand by the rear doors and then when someone was exiting he would nab their jewelry, most frequently necklaces or chains. He's charged with 1 count of armed robbery and 5 counts of robbery and is suspected in at least 15 other robberies.

Chicagoist is still worried about at least one more CTA robbery.. and that's the robbery we're going to feel every time we ride the El or the bus after the fare hike goes through.
