Summary
"It takes too long to get to the train terminal at 95th Street if you live way south like I do. I have been late plenty of times and even once was suspended as a result of being tardy to work too much," said Jerome Davis, 39. Davis lives on 118th and Peoria Avenue so he has to take one bus to get to the Red Line train station at 95th and State Street.
"I live by 109th Street and Wentworth but must walk two blocks to 111th Street and Wentworth to catch the bus to Michigan Avenue and then take the Michigan bus to the Red Line," she said. "If the Red Line was extended and had stops near my home I would not have to take two buses."CTA officials contend the Red Line needs to be extended .because there is significant bus and passenger congestion at the 95th Street Red Line stop, which it expects to grow as population and employment grows on the South Side; and passengers, especially those living far south, experience a 20 percent longer commute to the Red Line terminal at 95th Street than riders from other parts of the city.See the full content of this document
