Nice to see the CTA taking the first day of school in Chicago seriously. **Thinking about how I got waitlisted at every preschool in walking distance, including our neighborhood school.
@tracyswartz Tried to take my son to Daycare on the bus this morning but it was too crowded with kids going to school…next bus after was 37 minutes wait, walked the two miles instead. I felt bad for all the other kids waiting for the next bus.
@tracyswartz My job back in 89 or so was getting my kid in Magnet prg. 5th grade she was scheduled 4 Caldwell/84Cregier. Waitlisted 4 Ray in HP. I called Ray, asked if some kid may have gone Down South &didn’t return. principal said bring her in tmrw NOT day l8r School bus pick up frm Eglwood
@tracyswartz Oh but the second graders in magnet schools were offered ctu passes in lieu of buses. I'm sure they'll be fine.
@tracyswartz @ILRaiseYourHand Literally don’t understand why the blue line construction wasn’t slotted to begin the day school got out. Do you know how many Whitney Young kids take the blue like from all over the city? Total disaster.
@tracyswartz Especially with the shortage of bus drivers. Ugh.
@tracyswartz The blue line should never be used as a reliable transportation resource ....
@tracyswartz They need more executives with take home cars That will fix the problem
