Courtesy of today’s Getting Around column in the tribune, two updates of interest to CTA riders:
The CTA has abandoned plans to convert more rail cars to the “Maxi” configuration with fewer seats and more room for standing passengers. (However, existing Maxi cars, which I believe all remain on the Brown Line, will not get converted back.)
The CTA also confirms the limbo status of the Washington Red Line station and transfer tunnel to the Blue Line, explaining that it wouldn’t be cost-effective to reopen the station before the final status of the Block 37 superstation is known.
