For quite a while people in various neighborhoods have been complaining about C.T.A ghost buses and trains. They use their apps to check the schedules, get to the bus stop or El station in time to catch it only to find the scheduled bus or train does not arrive.
Complaints to Alderpersons went nowhere, just like complaints about public safety go nowhere. Members of the city council complain to no avail to get better services for their constituents to Mayor Lightfoot, who turns a deaf ear. She is more concerned with bringing in bread and circuses, attending various events touting something or another, or partying. She is not concerned with providing essential or even critical city services. Chicago is no longer the city that works.
City services have never been this bad. CTA service has never been this bad. What good are transportation APPS if the scheduled buses or trains do not arrive? Further, the CTA is no longer safe to ride. Crime is rising on the El trains and platforms. The security people the C.T.A. hired are invisible. There are not enough police to patrol the platforms, stations, or ride the trains.
In light of this epic failure of our mayor and the C.T.A, here is a little ditty.
GHOST BUSES
If there’s something strange
No bus in your neighborhood
Who you gonna call?
(Ghost Buses)
If you are late
And it don’t look good
Who you gonna call?
(Ghost Buses)
If its raining and no bus
Running through the street
Who can you call?
(Ghost Buses)
An invisible bus
Not on the sched
Oh, who you gonna call?
(Ghost Buses)
Who you gonna call?
(Ghost Buses)
If you’re all alone
Wet, cold, and late
Pick up the phone
And call
(Ghost Buses)
