Dearest CTA,<\/p>\n
We all know you’re a little worn down, and, well slow. We’re kind of used to it, actually. But could you at least pretend to not actively hate your customers? <\/p>\n
Imagine for a moment train A arrives a second or two before train B on opposing platforms. Imagine further that trains A and B carry passengers who may well want to transfer to the other line. What is the appropriate response? Hint, the correct answer is not “drop your passengers as quickly as possible and pull away from the station seconds before a reasonably athletic passenger, optimally placed, can sprint between the two lines so you can proceed to wait 3 minutes with your final car still overlapping the platform (doors closed, of course) so no passenger can board and no train can pull in behind you.<\/p>\n
Fuck you very much.<\/p>\n
Hugs & kisses<\/p>\n
