I’ll be the first to admit that the leaders at the CTA have a difficult task on their hands. The plan they came up with, however, was lacking in foresight and common sense in many areas.
For example, the 156 is one of the most used bus routes for the morning and evening commutes between the North Side and downtown. It is often packed. If they have to cut it, fine, but why not keep the morning and evening rush-hour 156 buses, and just shut it down during the late morning and afternoon? Blanket service cuts are not the smart way to go–not to mention the loss of revenue in losing routes like the 156.
The CTA can do better than that.
