CTA Removing Buses From Service

The CTA is removing a bunch of buses from service, according to the Sun-Times, "due to a structural crack that was found in one of its 60-foot-long articulated buses." The buses will remain out of service until an independent source can look into the problem, so prepare to get a little closer with your fellow bus passengers as more folks crowd onto available buses. Could someone remind us again why the 2016 Olympic bid didn't include money for transit? Update - The Trib reports that it's actually 200 accordion buses that will be removed from service.
