Today's subway suicide bombings in Moscow have transit agencies on alert, including the CTA. In a press release, the CTA said, "The safety and security of residents is our number one priority. We want to remind residents that vigilance and awareness of their surroundings is an important part of our safety efforts, and we encourage them to report any unusual or suspicious activity to 9-1-1." CTA spokesperson Sheila Gregory told WBEZ, "We have a police presence on our system at all times, whether anyone would be able to see it or not, they're uniformed and non-uniformed. At this time, as I said, there's no credible threat that's been made to public transit in the area."
