The CTA has committed to providing as many as 250 buses for use during the Democratic National Convention this summer, even though the agency has faced staff shortages that led to service cuts in recent years.
The head of the union that represents bus drivers says he anticipates having enough staffing for both the DNC and regular scheduled bus service. But designating buses for the convention has some advocates concerned.
“Pulling CTA operators from their regular routes to a specified task that doesn’t serve all of Chicago is of tremendous concern,” said Kyle Lucas, with the transportation advocacy group Better Streets Chicago. “And what will service look like for everyday people during that time?”
Transportation is just one of the ways the city is likely to feel the effects of the four-day convention, which is expected to bring a slew of politicians, visitors and protesters in August. Though many details about plans for the convention have yet to be publicized, officials have already begun telling residents and downtown businesses to brace for the effects of heightened security around McCormick Place and the United Center, key convention sites.

>>The CTA has committed to providing as many as 250 buses for use during the Democratic National Convention this summer
But will they be all-electric busses to reduce the DNC’s carbon footprint?
Busing Illegals to the convention to get their democrat brain implant ?
(CTA)
I liked Live at Carnegie Hall
I liked the Chicago Transit Authority band.
I still have the vinyl LP. ..l think.
Yup.
Will that be enough buses to haul the rioters to the convention?
Let them all be the Biden favorites - electric buses.
So what?
Screw the Proles, the important people are the Prog Marxist Democrats.
Always have been.
Who pays?
There may not have enough rioters. It seems for the last couple of decades the dems have welshed on paying their thugs. Pay and free lunches never appear as promised. In some cases the dupes even had to get rides home. Was a one way bus trip. It goes in cycles as the dems hope people forget their tricks as the dems keep trying the same. It all boils down to how long ago the dems used and burned their useful idiots.
Ask me if I care. ChiCongo. It’s always been a joke. Now it’s just a tragic comedy.
As if democrats attending would ride public busses with the disgusting peasants they rule over.
paddy wagons would be more appropriate
Since when does the CIA provide transportation for delegates to a partisan political convention? Is this something new? Why isn’t this a responsibility of the DNC? Will they do this for the Republican convention?
To expand on my earlier comment, why is the CIA - of all agencies - doing this? Why not the Department of Homeland Security? Are they sending a dog whistle that foreign operatives (RUSSIANS!) - eager to help Trump put an end to “democracy” - pose a threat to the convention?
And watch the car thefts skyrocket.
Huh, I thought they were gonna be used to transport illegals around the city
