This morning, I made a snarky comment about the possibility of a Chicago City Council hearing on the CTA’s Ventra problems. One of the main proponents of this, Chicago progressive caucus member Alderman Bob Fioretti, responded and we had a brief discussion on his goals for the hearings.
UPDATE: Some late-breaking news on the Ventra transition:
since @cta now allowing use of ALL current farecards indef., if you've transitioned to ventra, note probs + speak up for fixes. #VentraVents
