At least we'd have an option for transport downtown if needed. Metra: ever try to drive from Glenview, Naperville or Downers Grove to the loop at 5 or 6am?
Back in the day, Metra had select police patrol certain trains after football and basketball games. Such a plan worked out fine. No fights, no drunken BS, no games. People were able to get to their appointments or travel home after a dinner date downtown. Date: 06/01/20 16:09 Re: Metra Cancels ALL Services for Monday 6/1 Author: justalurker66 NYC4096 Wrote:

The scale of this weekend's activities was much larger than a football or basketball game - and the problem was bigger than Metra. I was surprised to see Monday cancelled in advance, but Metra needs to protect the equiment so they can use it another day.

Your complete lack of understanding of what is going on and what is at stake precedes you. |
