No CTA fare increases, service cuts in 2020 budget
Posted October 23, 2019 11:00 pm
Attention CTA riders: The CTA will not be raising fares or cutting service next year.
The welcome news was part of the transit agency's proposed $1.57 billion operating budget announced Thursday.
The budget is $18 million more than its current budget due to increases in labor and security costs.
It includes money to begin adding elevators to the 42 CTA rail stations that still do not have them.
The CTA also proposed a $5.1 billion infrastructure plan that would span five years and include money for new rail cars and buses, as well as money to remove slow zones.For the full story, click here.
