How about limiting those free rides?
If State Rep. Suzi Bassi would like to do something constructive while saving some money for the well-run state of Illinois, why not limit the free rides for seniors to non-rush hour times.
This would allow all seniors to benefit and not affect the heavy travel times with extra riders that could slow down rush hour travel.
Although I don't think it cost anywhere close to what they say, it's just another excuse for the people who run our public transit to blame their poor management on someone else.
