Dear Asses Of Chicago Commuters:
How are you doing down there? Are you cozy? Warm? Efficiently supported by a minimally-cushioned CTA train or bus seat? Oh good. What a relief.
I’m writing on behalf of the rest of the body to which you are attached. Your argument down the years, if I understand correctly, has been that your comfort should be paramount to all other concerns. Apparently you’ve been quite vocal – or perhaps guttural – about it, because the CTA agrees. It recently launched a “crowding reduction plan” aimed primarily at making sure you never have to stay upright again. You win.
The rest of your human? He or she just wants to get to work on time.
