It is overall, yeah, but apparently there was still crowding on a couple of lines at rush hour today because of the changes -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 14:09 6
- When we walked the dogs this afternoon a CTA bus went by and there was nobody on it except the driver. -- nm - pmb Mar 24, 14:12 5
  - if I was a driver i'd blow by the stops, "next bus...next bus" -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 14:15 3
    - Our buses are free (technically not free, but essentially free) as you have to board and exit through the back door now -- nm - ty97 Mar 24, 14:16 2
      - ours too since last week -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 14:19 1
        
        actually several trans dist have stopped collecting fares completely, it covers only 5% of op costs, more than the cost of counting, auditing etc -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 14:20
  - I have not been in a subway station in weeks. The buses I see go by on Broadway are empty or virtually empty all the time though. - ty97 Mar 24, 14:14
