Like many parts of the US, we were in serious g danger of massive budget cuts for next year after COVID transit relief dries up.
In Chicago’s case we had three scenarios.
Funding does not pass, 40% service cuts everywhere. Devastating
700 million. Status quo, the current schedules remain with the gaps many have been experiencing since ether pandemic.
This 1.5 billion. Not without compromises, but very promising to improve reliability and frequency

What’s your go-to OSS navigation app? I’ve been trying the three in the title. CoMaps is a fork of Organic but Osm seems to be its own thing. Honestly haven’t seen a reason yet to prefer one over another besides Osm’s pretty bad name. For transit I use Transit, it’s not OSS but the company aligns strongly with me and I like that their employees get four-day workweeks: https://transitapp.com/vision [https://transitapp.com/vision] However if there’s a OSS alternative I’m not aware of I’m always willing to try it. For finding businesses I would not expect much… there seems to be no good answer that isn’t Yelp or Google Maps, and of course that kinda goes by the nature of crowd sourced reviews and information. I have GMaps WV but it’s kind clunky and I just ended up falling back to Maps unfortunately.
