Using the CTA when the buses are packed can be really annoying. You have seen that packed bus roll up and just wish the standing room only crowd will not move to the back, well there could soon be a solution. The Chicago Tribune is reporting this week that the CTA is looking into a potential new route onto buses where riders could get on through the backdoor where most usually exit the bus.
The Trib says this summer the No. J14 Jeffery Jump and the No. 192 University of Chicago Hospitals Express will get a trial run of the “all-door” bus boarding on the South Side.
The big bus and train system has been dealing with a lot of challenges recently including an increase in crime and more people choosing to spend more to ride with ride share services like Uber.
