Ir was during the 1974 Regional Transportation Authority debate that the promise was set forward for a universal fare.
Now, it’s over fifty years later and that promise remains unfulfilled.
Howard Lerner writes an op-ed piece in the Chicago Tribune today about how to make mass transit under NITA better than under the RTA.
One of his suggestions sounds like an echo from over fifty-one years ago: one ticket no many different buses and/or trains one must take to reach one’s destintion.
Good idea and Lerner is forgiven for not remembering the “universal fare” promise from the past.
He was still in college.
