I feel like people go on and on criticizing public transportation, especially here in #Chicago, but I generally have had very positive experiences. In the hundreds of times I have ridden a #CTA train in Chicago, I've experienced someone smoking maybe 4 or 5 times, felt unsafe once or twice, and never experienced violence or witnessed it toward someone else. I love getting on after work and being able to read or listen or write or whatever I want. #ChicagoTransitAuthority, I love you. ❤
