Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

My main gripe with the CTA isn’t its abhorrently abysmal pace: slower than any public transportation known to man, it’s the damn robot man who announces all the stops at 120 decibels and tells you which side the doors open on.

If you can’t figure out how to get off the damn train, then maybe you shouldn’t be lingering on the platform in the first place. It’s like a bad commercial you see on TV everyday, only this one never goes away, and you can’t get rid of it. I’d rather they pipe in Michael Bolton than have to listen to this robot clown telling me every 15 seconds not to eat, what side the doors open on or where the damn Thompson Center is.
