My Train Story...
I have taken many forms of transportation, bicycle, car,
van, bus and planes. By far, my favorite form of transportation is the
train.
I like the train because it is relaxing and fast. It is
reliable. Usually, it is clean and quiet. It is very safe from crime and
accidents. For people whose disabilities won’t allow the operation of a car,
it’s the faster way to travel.
As a taxpayer,
citizen and consumer, I believe trains, like Chicago’s Rapid Transit, are the
most efficient, cleanest ride. Trains are also the best value.
As a developmentally disabled citizen and rider, I pay
$50.00 per month for unlimited rides. This is the best deal in Chicago! Even at
full price, it’s a great deal. Plus, there are so many interesting people on
the train every day.
For instance, today there was a lady on the train with a box
of chocolates. I asked her about them. She explained that she was selling them
for her granddaughter’s soccer team. I asked, “how much?” She replied, “one
dollar.” I gave her the money and purchased the milk chocolate bar. It was a
nice exchange.
My commute will get longer now that summer is coming and people
will be heading to various events downtown and on the lakefront. That’s ok,
maybe more people will appreciate our fine Chicago Transit Authority (CTA)
trains.
Thanks for sharing - I like that you had a great exchange with the Grandma on the train!
