There is one very small "bright spot" in this otherwise dismal news, which is the proposal to move to a flat $2 pay-enter fare system, with unlimited transfers and proof-of-payment on the T. Given the downtown-centeredness of the system, this is a godsend for those of us who want to, say, get from Lawrenceville to the South Side.
Plus, pretty much anywhere in the world where public transit is taken seriously has a similar fare system. I reckon it would go a lot further towards attracting new riders than the totally vacuous "how to ride the bus" ads they were taking out for a while there.
I wonder if they'll let us get off through the back door too? Nah, probably expecting too much.
