Build it and they will ride!!!!
From the article:
"Metra has estimated the Feb. 1 fare hike will cost the suburban commuter rail agency a 1.1 percent drop in 2015 fare revenue and then flatten out."
I hope the reporter meant that the fare hike would cause Metra a 1.1% drop in ridership, not revenue. I mean, what's the point of raising fares if you're not going to make more money out of it?

And fares are only going to continue rising annually, which may cost more ridership.
