Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
Now that the CTA board, in its infinite wisdom, has given us what must be the most excessive and convoluted fare structure in the United States, perhaps it can go a little further:
A 25-cent rebate if one waits 25 minutes or more for a train or bus; a 50-cent rebate if one has to stand an entire trip; a 20-cent rebate if one has to sit on a ripped seat; two free rides if one is left standing at a bus stop while the bus speeds on by.
In the meantime, passengers had better start getting dimes by the roll.
