Show Notes

There has been a lot of headlines in recent months about crime on the CTA following high profile incidents in late 2025, ongoing tension with the feds over the presence of cops on public transit, and an overall feeling that even after improvements in hirings and wait times, CTA still has a lot to do concerning rider experience and safety. Executive producer Simone Alicea and host Jacoby Cochran are discussing recent public transit crime statistics. Plus, the city council is proposing a new tourism improvement district, and listeners have thoughts on Waymo in Chicago.
