Show Notes
The Regional Transit Authority, which coordinates financing for CTA, Metra, and Pace, is predicting a $730 million budget gap beginning in 2026. The agency is looking for solutions, especially as ridership remains low. Host Jacoby Cochran, Block Club’s Jamie Nesbitt Golden, and WCIU’s Brandon Pope talk about the problems facing public transit, as well as big moves from the Bears, a proposed high school on the Near South Side, and the mayor’s race. Plus, we’ve got good news about lion cubs and Taylor Swift parties and attractions.
