One would think with rising gas prices and awareness of the dual needs of CO2 emission reductions and a lessening of dependence on oil that public transportation would be becoming more important to the State of Illinois. But apparently that is wrong as the Illinois State Legislature has instead cut funding for CTA, Metra and Pace.
What's more, the same event is happening in California. This is ridiculous. The budget cuts at CTA may completely eliminate my morning/evening route, which is generally full near capacity.
I could say a lot of things here. I could show the economics of how little it costs per mile to use public transportation, how much less gasoline it consumes, but instead I'll just go with indignation today.
It's ridiculous and I'm pissed.
