I've been wondering why adding dedicated @cta bus lanes to the plan for #LakeShoreDrive is so hard for @IDOT_Illinois & @ChicagoDOT. Since the #transportation field is fascinated by #AI, I asked a few bots what they'd do if they were in charge. Here are their answers:👇 🧵

👏🏽👏🏽 Long time coming & huge opportunity for #ETOD to ensure residents near future RLE stations benefit most from the historic investment. Now we need matching investments in community-led, community-owned projects & policy changes to support #ETOD while preventing displacement

Extending the Red Line will make a real difference for many on Chicago's South Side.
Grateful to our congressional delegation for leading the charge on the start of not only improving public transit access but also creating jobs and economic benefits. news.wttw.com/2024/12/18/cta…

Madrid’s metro was 71 miles long in 1995. That would be the world’s 51st longest today, reasonable considering Madrid is the 57th largest city by population.
Yet over 12 years, the metro would ~3x in length at costs much lower than was thought possible. Here’s how they did it🧵

🚨Breaking news from Chicago city hall
❌This week, the Zoning Committee voted to reject a proposal to build 615 new homes in Lincoln Park.
🥊 The mayor has chosen to ignore their recommendation. Now the project will be automatically reported on a 'do-pass' recommendation.

You may see something new on Bus Tracker this week—it's part of our battle against ghost buses.
We're testing the ability to show when a trip has been canceled. Hopefully you never have to see it, but if you do, it's because we're working to get you more accurate real-time info.
ALT A screenshot of the Bus Tracker website. One bus arrival is marked as canceled in red letters, and a second arrival is in eight minutes.
