Of course they are increasing the commuters fares. I wouldn't expect anything else. Thanks Michael.

City officials have already announced plans to borrow $85 million to buy Michael Reese Hospital on the South Side--in order to shut it down and construct an Olympic Village, even before Chicago has been made the host city. This figure alone would cover three-quarters of the projected CTA budget shortfall.

Raising fares on the CTA is bad enough, but this
is even worse! Tearing down a hospital when the
city hasn't even been awarded the Olympics! Even
if they HAD been awarded the games, they still
should not be destroying a hospital, which I'm sure
is greatly needed by the people of Chicago.
SHAME on them!
Thanks, Michael.
