Metra could possibly save money by reducing frequency after 8pm

[Metra Electric Rider]

As a good Edwardian might say - it has worked for the last four hundred years, so why change things?

Don't forget your equerry with the flag in front of your horseless, my dear chap!

It went over (my program at the Lyric) and I ended up on the bus home - at least it was free* - it was dirty and stanky. Hadn't been on the CTA in like 2-1/2 years or something.

*broken fare box.

Indeed, that is the ultimate money saver - not running service at all!

So, you touch upon something significant, here, regarding transit in Chicagoland, one of which the Southeast side lines are a significant example: that of historic tiered levels of service and fares, in commuter rail versus CTA, and the riders who choose one over another for either cost, convenience, cleanliness, safety, or class.
