CTA: No "Excessive Photography"

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Jan 19, 2010 5:20PM

Among the usual photos we see from visitors to the city are shots of CTA trains pulling up to platforms. If you flip through our Flickr pool, you'll even see plenty of them from readers. But the CTA is now looking to crack down on what's being called "excessive photographing/filming" and some people aren't too happy about it. Besides being an alarmist call to report your fellow rider, Carlos Miller points out the contradiction of the new call to action with the CTA's own original guidelines which allow the public "to use hand-held cameras to take photographs, capture digital images, and videotape within public areas of CTA stations and transit vehicles for personal, non-commercial use."
